Switch from EduPage to Academic Scheduler
EduPage is a full school management system with around 100 features, from grades and attendance to a school website, and its timetables come from the separate aSc TimeTables product. If timetabling is the job you need done, Academic Scheduler is one cloud app built just for that, at $10–$20/month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
A focused timetabling alternative to an all-in-one school platform
Why schools look for an EduPage alternative
EduPage does far more than timetabling. These are the practical reasons it isn't the right fit for every school.
A whole school platform when you only need a timetable
EduPage covers the class register, grade book, attendance, parent messaging, payments, canteen, admissions and a school website. That breadth is valuable if you want to run the whole school in it, but it is a lot to roll out if your problem is the weekly timetable.
Building the timetable is a separate product
EduPage publishes timetables, but they are generated in aSc TimeTables, which is licensed on its own with a one-time payment (from $180 for primary schools to $1,995 for PRO, as listed for our region). Support and upgrades after two years cost extra yearly maintenance.
Key features are split across plan tiers
The free Basic plan publishes only one timetable and adds watermarks to class register, grade book and attendance printouts. Online substitution management starts at Standard, and unlimited e-learning, grades and photos need EduPage PRO.
Mixed reviews of the mobile app
The EduPage Android app has more than 5 million downloads but was rated 2.4 out of 5 from about 39,000 Google Play reviews when we checked. Reviewers mention slow loading, crashes and an interface that takes getting used to.
What Academic Scheduler does differently
Four ways a focused timetabling tool differs from an all-in-one platform.
Built only for timetabling
Periods, subjects, teachers with their allowed subjects and availability, and classes with weekly lessons per subject are all you set up. Edit Mode blocks teacher double-booking and enforces weekly subject limits as you build.
- AI fill of empty periods, reviewed before you save (plan feature)
- More than one teacher per period
- Daily timetables by class or teacher, horizontal or vertical
Build, share and print in one cloud app
There is no separate generator to license and no desktop install. You build the timetable in the browser and share it from the same place, on a computer or a phone.
- Password-protected read-only share links and QR codes
- PDF (A4 landscape) and Excel (.xlsx) export
- Teacher workload charts
Substitutions and exams included
When a teacher is absent, see which teachers are free in each period with same-subject teachers highlighted, and email the cover in one click while the main timetable stays unchanged. Exam timetables keep each subject to once per class.
- Free-teacher list per period for cover
- Exam types with date ranges and PDF export
- Academic sessions: copy last year, past years read-only
Simple monthly plans
Basic, Pro and Premium are listed with exact prices and billed monthly, with no one-time licence and no maintenance fee. Try everything free for 14 days without a credit card.
- Basic $10/mo · Pro $15/mo · Premium $20/mo
- 14-day free trial, no credit card
- Multi-branch organisation login
