The short version

TL;DR — who should pick what.

If you read nothing else on this page, read these three blocks.

Pick OningIQ if

Schools, colleges and coaching institutes that want every module — admissions, fees, attendance, exams, transport, hostel, library, comms — on one connected platform.

Pick Teachmint if

Schools that want a mobile-first, live-class-led platform with the basic admin modules attached — and do not need deep coaching-institute or college-level workflows.

The plain truth

Teachmint ships a polished live-classroom + mobile experience and a solid admin layer underneath it. OningIQ is a deeper ERP — the difference shows in fee operations (sibling discounts, GST receipts, WhatsApp DLT), the admissions pipeline with AI lead scoring, and the AI layer watching every module (At-Risk Radar, Smart Reminders, AI report-card remarks). Pick Teachmint for live-class-led K-12; pick OningIQ when operations and AI matter more than the in-built classroom.
