B2skool vs Entab CampusCare

Entab is one of the longest-established school software names in India and is strong in CBSE schools. If you are evaluating them, there is also something recent you should know, which we put in the table rather than burying.

B2skool · SCHOOL OS compared with Entab CampusCare
	B2skool · SCHOOL OS	Entab CampusCare
Who owns the vendor	Independent, and the people who build it are the people you will deal with.	Nelnet Business Services, a division of Nelnet, Inc. (NYSE: NNI), announced on 5 October 2026 that it had acquired Entab Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Terms were undisclosed; Entab continues under its own brand, leadership and New Delhi office.source
Running it offline	The desktop edition runs on a local database with no internet, and the office keeps issuing receipts and marking attendance when the line drops.	Their CampusCare page describes one "secure, cloud-based platform" on "secure, scalable cloud infrastructure" and names no on-premise, self-hosted or offline option.source
How it is priced	Free offline, forever. The cloud licence is quoted per school, same working day, with next session’s renewal price included.	They describe the model as "‘Pay as you grow’ or ‘Pay as you go’ … giving no major upfront charges", without naming a unit of measure, rate or amount anywhere we could find.source
The parent app	Included in the cloud licence. Parents are never charged.	Also billed to the school rather than to families: they state the CampusCare app "is free to download but school pays for it for the welfare of their students and teachers".source
Support commitment	A support SLA written into the quote, with scoped and recorded sessions so nobody shares a password.	They publish staffed windows, which many vendors do not: a parent helpdesk 8am–8pm on working days, technical support 8am–5:45pm on working days, with a stated 24-hour query-resolution target.source

What Entab CampusCare does well

They publish actual support hours and a resolution target. Most vendors in this market say "24/7 support" and publish nothing you could hold them to; Entab names windows.
They have been doing this for a long time and are well established in CBSE schools, which means your principal’s peers have probably used them.
They bill the parent app to the school rather than charging families, which is the right way round.

If this is what your school needs, they are a reasonable choice and we would rather you knew that now than after an onboarding.

What we could not verify

Any price figure. No Entab page publishes a rate card, tier, per-student rate or amount, and we do not repeat the figures circulating on third-party sites.
Whether an AMC exists, what it covers, or what it costs. Those words appear nowhere we could find on their site.
How "pay as you grow" is actually metered — per student, per user, per module or per campus.
Whether the current model is a recurring subscription or a perpetual licence. Their own sources point both ways.
Contract length, minimum term, notice period, exit terms, price-escalation caps or data-export rights. None are published.
Any setup, implementation, onboarding or migration fee, or whether such fees exist at all.
Implementation timeline or who performs data migration from your existing system.
Their module count. Their modules page does not support the figures quoted elsewhere, so we state none.
What the acquisition will mean in practice for roadmap, pricing or support. Nothing has been published, and we will not speculate.

We have left these out rather than guessing. Ask Entab CampusCare directly — and hold us to the same standard.

A new owner is a fair thing to raise, and not an accusation

On 5 October 2026 Nelnet Business Services announced it had acquired Entab, with Entab continuing under its own brand and leadership. We have no view on whether that is good or bad for a school — acquisitions cut both ways, and a well-capitalised parent can mean more investment. We raise it because it is recent, material and easy to miss, and because if you are signing a multi-year commitment this term you would rather hear it now than read it later. Ask them directly what it means for roadmap, pricing and support; that is a reasonable question and they should have a reasonable answer.

Cloud-only is a real constraint in a school with real broadband

Their own material describes a cloud platform and names no offline option. For a school on reliable fibre, that is unremarkable and arguably simpler. For a school where the line drops weekly — which is most schools outside a metro — it is the difference between a front desk that keeps issuing receipts and a front desk that falls back to a paper book. Our split exists for exactly this reason: the offline half runs locally and free, and the cloud half is an addition rather than a prerequisite.

Neither of us publishes a rate card, so compare the quotes

We are not going to pretend to a transparency advantage we do not have: like them, we quote. The difference is what you can do before the quote arrives, and what the quote contains. You can run our desktop edition for a full session without talking to us, and when the cloud quote comes it names onboarding, migration, the payment platform fee and next session’s renewal price as figures. When you ask them for a quote, ask for the same list in writing — that is the comparison that matters, and it is a fair test for both of us.

Straight answers

Switching from Entab CampusCare

Is B2skool cheaper than Entab CampusCare?

We cannot say, because they publish no price and neither do we for the cloud half. What is comparable: our offline edition is free at any strength, so a school can run admissions, receipts, attendance and report cards at no cost while it decides.

Does Entab work offline?

Their own material describes a cloud platform and names no offline or on-premise option. We could not establish that one exists, so we do not assert that it does not — ask them directly, and if the answer is yes, ask what the front desk can do with the line down.

Should the Nelnet acquisition change our decision?

Not on its own. It is a fact worth knowing before a multi-year signature, not a reason to rule them out. Ask them what it means for the roadmap and for your renewal price, and judge the answer.

Is this page fair to Entab?

We have tried. Every claim is quoted from their own pages or an announcement about a listed company, linked and dated, and we credit them for publishing support hours — something we think more vendors should do. What we could not establish is listed above. If anything is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
