Frequently asked questions
Is InstiKit a good InfixEdu alternative?
Yes, if you want online classes, QR attendance and mobile apps included rather than bought as add-ons, or need several branches in one installation. InfixEdu suits schools already trained on it or that need one of its specific add-ons.
Are both built on Laravel?
Yes. InstiKit uses Laravel with Vue.js 3 and Tailwind CSS. InfixEdu uses Laravel 13 and ships ionCube-encoded files, so your server needs the ionCube loader.
Which is cheaper, InstiKit or InfixEdu?
InstiKit Regular costs $49 direct ($59 on CodeCanyon) against $67 for InfixEdu. For a school that needs Google Meet classes, QR attendance, Razorpay and mobile apps, InfixEdu with its add-ons and app comes to $252 at listed prices.
Can one InfixEdu licence run several branches?
The InfixEdu listing says one purchase can be used for one school. InstiKit Premium manages several branches in one installation.
Can I move my data from InfixEdu to InstiKit?
Yes. Export students, guardians and staff as spreadsheets and import them into InstiKit. Classes, fee structures and exam settings are set up once in InstiKit.
