See how the record compares with the way admissions runs today.
Most institutions run admissions on forms, chats and spreadsheets; some run it on a school system with an admissions module. Admissio is built for the journey itself. Here is how far each alternative takes an applicant, and where the record keeps going.

Read the comparisonQuestions
Fair questions about fair comparisons.
How are these comparisons put together?
Every claim about another product is verifiable: pricing is described by its model rather than invented numbers, and where a tool covers a stage, the table says so. What each page measures is coverage, meaning how much of the journey from first enquiry to enrolled student each tool actually runs.
Can we switch mid-intake?
You can set up alongside whatever you use today and move at the boundary between intakes. Nothing about setup requires abandoning applications already in flight.
Do we have to replace our school management system?
No. Admissions is the journey before a student exists in your school system. Many institutions run their admissions on one record and keep their school system for everything after enrolment.
