  • No app for parents
  • From €15/month

TL;DR

Which one should you actually pick?

Pick DreamClass if…

You run a small private school or vocational center that needs attendance, classroom management, and a parent app alongside finance — a small SIS rather than a payment tool. You're outside Cyprus and Greece, or you're comfortable working entirely in English, and you want the parent app experience.

Pick EduPay if…

You run a tutoring center, frontistirio, ωδείο, σχολή χορού, language center or martial arts academy in Cyprus or Greece. You don't need attendance or a classroom platform. You need to know who paid, flag who didn't, and let parents see their balance without installing anything. €15–€45 per month, set up in an evening.

Side by side

EduPay vs DreamClass — where they actually differ.

Both target smaller institutes — but DreamClass is a global SIS, EduPay is a Cyprus-and-Greece payment tool. Here's how they line up for a frontistirio in Nicosia or an ωδείο in Athens.

The local angle

Global software is great. Local software fits.

🇨🇾

Built in Cyprus

Designed by people who watched frontistirio owners chase WhatsApp payments on Sunday nights — not by a global SIS team.

🎯

One job, done well

Payments and parent visibility. No attendance, no classrooms. If your problem is "did the parent pay?", that's the only thing EduPay solves.

📱

QR over apps

Cypriot and Greek parents will scan a QR. Most won't install a parent app.

Pricing you can see

€15, €29, €45 per month — based on student count. No quote, no upgrade-pressure tier games.

Setup in an evening

CSV import, classes, prices, print QRs. No onboarding call required.

🗓

Greek school year

Built around the August–June cycle, not a generic 12-month calendar.

Migration

Switching takes one evening.

If you're already on DreamClass (or anywhere else), you can be on EduPay before the next billing cycle.

  1. Export your students.

    DreamClass → Students → Export to CSV. Or pull a list from your existing Excel.

  2. Import into EduPay.

    Map columns (name, parent phone, class, monthly fee). Save. The dashboard fills up.

  3. Print or text the QR codes.

    Each student already has a unique parent QR. Send it on WhatsApp the same day.

  4. Mark already-paid months.

    Two clicks per row. Parents see the live status the next time they scan.

FAQ

Honest answers, not sales pitch.

Is EduPay a direct replacement for DreamClass?

For payments, students and parent communication — yes. For attendance and classroom management — no. Most frontistiria don't need those modules; if you do, DreamClass is the better fit and we'll tell you that.

I run a frontistirio with 50 students. Which is better?

Almost always EduPay. DreamClass is closer in scope than the bigger ERPs, but for pure payment tracking in Greek with a no-app parent view, EduPay is the better local fit.

Can I import my data from DreamClass?

Yes. CSV import handles students, parent phones, classes and starting fees. Tests and historical payments can be marked manually after import.

Will my parents understand the QR thing?

Cypriot and Greek parents already scan QR codes for restaurant menus and ΚΤΕΛ tickets. Pointing a phone at a code is easier than installing an app.

What if I outgrow EduPay later?

You can export everything you've put in (students, payments, tests) at any time. We're not in the lock-in business.
