Competitor capability is drawn from public product documentation; where a module exists only as a paid add-on or partner integration it is marked partial. For AcadiPlus, every cell that isn't solid ships as a scoped add-on on the same codebase.

AcadiPlus is competitive-to-leading on the workflows a VES-type school touches every day — India exam / grading depth, fee counter and concessions, academic-year rollover, the front-desk module, the approval-gated notice system. What is not yet built is consistent and predictable: parent-facing features, online payments, and the ancillary operational modules (transport, library, payroll, hostel).
None of it is architectural — each is a scoped add-on on a codebase that already carries the data model and the PDF / Excel / import / API plumbing to support it, so lead times are weeks, not a rebuild.
