SchoolHQ vs. Linways
Linways has been around a long time. SchoolHQ was built fresh for how Indian schools actually work in 2026.
Linways is one of the older school and campus management platforms in India. It covers the basics — admissions, attendance, fees, library — but user interfaces, mobile experience, and AI features tend to lag newer tools. SchoolHQ is a modern school ERP and school management app built in the last few years with mobile-first UX, xAI Grok-powered chat, and integrated WhatsApp + Razorpay out of the box. Here is the head-to-head.

When Linways might fit you
- If your school has been on Linways for many years with deep customizations, and you are not feeling pain, switching cost may outweigh gains in the short term.
