Groweon suits institutes that want AI calling and WhatsApp automation with public INR pricing. Meritto and LeadSquared suit large, multi-campus admissions teams with dedicated CRM admins. Zoho CRM and Kylas suit small institutes on a tight budget. Look for native WhatsApp Business API, counsellor assignment rules, and fast first-response time, since leads contacted within 5 minutes convert far more often. This guide compares the leading options on pricing, AI, and fit, using public information reviewed on 21 September 2026.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: We publish this guide, so we state our bias upfront.
