Quick answer
RenWeb and FACTS dominate US private schools, but they're built for a different market. Here's how Devryon compares on features, pricing and India-specific needs.
RenWeb (rebranded as FACTS SIS) and FACTS Management Software are two of the most established school management software platforms in the United States, used by thousands of private and faith-based K-12 schools. Indian school leaders often ask how Devryon compares — especially IB, IGCSE, and international-track schools evaluating a global vendor. This 2026 guide breaks down features, pricing, and market fit side-by-side.
Quick verdict
RenWeb and FACTS are excellent for US private schools with existing FACTS tuition-management workflows. For Indian CBSE, ICSE, state-board, and international schools, Devryon's school ERP delivers the same core capability at roughly 1/10th the cost, with UDISE+ reporting, GST-compliant fee receipts, UPI/Razorpay payments, and vernacular parent apps that RenWeb/FACTS don't offer.

Pricing: the biggest gap
RenWeb and FACTS don't publish public pricing, but industry data and reseller quotes suggest US private schools pay $6–$12 per student per month — with separate fees for FACTS Tuition Management (1% of tuition collected) and FACTS Grant & Aid. A 1,000-student school typically spends US$70,000–$140,000 per month across the FACTS ecosystem.
Devryon's pricing starts at ₹6 per student per month (roughly $0.07 USD), with all modules, all mobile apps, GST receipts, UPI payments, and unlimited support included. A 1,000-student Indian school pays ₹6,000–₹16,000/month — a huge cost gap that matters when 90% of Indian schools operate on tight per-student budgets.
Where RenWeb / FACTS win
- US private-school compliance — SEVIS reporting for I-20 international students, US state accreditation exports.
- FACTS Tuition Management integration — if your school already collects tuition through FACTS, keeping RenWeb reduces migration effort.
- North American peer ecosystem — parent portal familiarity across US Catholic and Christian school networks.
Where Devryon wins for Indian schools
- India-native compliance — UDISE+, CBSE OASIS, ICSE reports, state-board formats, and DigiLocker-ready transfer certificates.
- Rupee-native fees — UPI, Razorpay, Paytm, PayU, GST-compliant receipts, sibling discounts, scholarship deductions.
- Multilingual parent app — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada — a must for Tier-2/3 Indian cities.
- Total cost — 100–1000× lower per student, no per-module upsell, no percentage-of-tuition cut.
- Setup speed — 2–4 weeks including data migration, versus 2–3 months for RenWeb.
Who should pick which?
Pick RenWeb / FACTS SIS if you're a US-based Catholic, Christian, or independent K-12 school, already run FACTS Tuition Management, and need SEVIS + North American accreditation reporting.
Pick Devryon if you run a CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, or state-board school in India, need UDISE+ / UPI / GST out of the box, want every module (SIS, LMS, fees, transport, hostel, library, HR) in one bundle, and want per-student pricing that fits an Indian school budget.
