What is Skolera? And who is it for?

Skolera combines learning management and school management in one place. Its About page says it was previously called Bedopedia, and that it is built to run education institutions from kindergarten to secondary (K-12).

The system has two parts. The learning part has a curriculum planner for the head of department, content, assignments and quizzes for the teacher, a gradebook, and badges for students. The school management part has student affairs, fees and payroll, human resources, transport, the library, inventory and the timetable.

Skolera has offices in Massachusetts, London, Cairo and Riyadh, according to the footer of every page on its site. Its news page names Egyptian schools that use it, such as the Forsan schools in Alexandria and Notion International School in Giza.

Skolera is built to carry the whole school: administration, teachers, students and parents in one system, with an Android app in each school's name. That is the job of a school system, and Snatr is not a school system.

The whole site speaks to schools. The demo form asks for the school's name and type (international or private), and every job title in it is a school role. There is no way on the site for a private tutor to sign up alone.

Snatr, at snatr.com, is built for the other case: a private tutor, a tutoring center or an academy that sells its lessons in EGP. If you are comparing it with other school systems, see Snatr vs Classera and Snatr vs Google Classroom.

How much does Skolera cost? And how much is Snatr for a center or academy?

Skolera's price is not published on its site, and the only way to it is a demo request in a school's name. Snatr's prices are published: 999 EGP a month for 100 students, 1,999 for 200, and 2,999 for 400.

In Snatr

  • Starter: 999 EGP a month, 100 students, 50 GB, and each extra student at 15 EGP.
  • Basic: 1,999 EGP, 200 students, 150 GB, and each extra student at 10 EGP.
  • Pro: 2,999 EGP, 400 students, 300 GB, plus live classes and a custom domain.
  • No setup fee, and an extra student is charged once when they join, not every month.
  • A free 7-day trial you start yourself, with no card.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • No pricing page, and no price on any page of the site.
  • The only button on every page is "Request a Free Demo".
  • The demo form asks for the school's name, its type (international or private), the city and the country.
  • Setup fees and student limits are not mentioned.

Example: a center or academy with 100 students paying 300 EGP a month

Snatr: 999 EGP a month for 100 students, about 10 EGP per student

Skolera's price is not published on 10 October 2026, so we have not put a number of our own. If they quote you a price for your number of students, divide it by the students and compare it with about 10 EGP per student on Snatr. On Snatr, a student paying online pays the payment fee on top of the 300 EGP.

This is from Skolera's site on 10 October 2026. The price is probably set by the school's size and the modules it takes, but that is not written anywhere, so we have not put a number of our own.

On Snatr, if you have 120 students on the Starter plan, you pay for 20 extra students at 15 EGP, which is 300 EGP once, and the places stay yours. Enrollment does not stop if you go over your plan.

Your price reaches you in full. The online payment fee is added on top of your price for the student, and a student who paid you cash is enrolled by hand with no commission. See Snatr's prices in detail.

In short: If you are a school and ask Skolera for a demo, ask for the price in writing for your number of students, and ask about setup fees and which modules are included.

How do students pay? School fees on Skolera, or selling courses on Snatr

Skolera collects school fees, and its site does not mention selling courses to outside students. On Snatr, students buy a course on your platform in EGP, or with a prepaid card bought for cash, and get access automatically.

In Snatr

  • Students pay by card, with a Fawry code within 24 hours, or with a wallet such as Vodafone Cash.
  • Prepaid cards you print and sell for cash: the code unlocks a course or group, or adds credit.
  • Percentage or fixed discount coupons, for the whole site, a course, a group or a stage.
  • A coupon can have limited or unlimited uses, and each student can use it once.
  • You withdraw earnings to Vodafone Cash, InstaPay or a bank, with a current minimum of 100 EGP.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • The finance module manages fees, expenses and payroll, and produces financial reports.
  • Skolera's blog says an update to the finance system added fee payment through Kashier.
  • Fees and invoices are synchronized between the finance system and the learning system.
  • Selling a course to a student outside the school, coupons or prepaid cards: not mentioned.

The difference is in the kind of money. At a school, a parent pays a year's fees to a school their child is already enrolled in. In private lessons, a student chooses a course and pays for it, and the platform has to open the course as soon as the payment is confirmed. Snatr is built for the second case.

Prepaid cards matter in Egypt in particular. Many students have no card and no wallet, so they buy a card at the center or a bookshop for cash, and type the code on your platform.

Money from online payments goes into your Snatr wallet, and becomes available to withdraw after a safety period, currently 7 days.

In short: If your students pay you cash at the center and you also want to sell your lessons online, prepaid cards let the two work together.

Protecting paid video: Skolera or Snatr?

Skolera lets you upload videos and files, but video encryption or download blocking is not mentioned on its site. Snatr encrypts uploaded video, so the well-known download tools cannot download it, and it carries the student's name.

In Snatr

  • Uploaded video is encrypted, and its key goes to a locked part of the browser, not the page.
  • Download extensions, "paste the link and download" sites and tools like yt-dlp cannot download it.
  • A moving watermark with the student's name, so an ordinary screen recording carries their name.
  • A student watches on one device at a time, so an account is not shared among friends.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • Teachers share lessons, videos, presentations and other material inside the system.
  • "My Safe" is storage for each user's files, and the school sets the file size limit.
  • Video encryption, download blocking or a watermark: not mentioned.
  • At a school, content is open to the class's students and teachers, and the head of department sees everything.

That makes sense in a school system. A school lesson video is not a product being sold, so a download costs nobody anything. In private lessons the video is what you sell, and if it is downloaded and posted in a group, your sales drop.

We at Snatr measured the protection: the file without the key comes out as noise, with a similarity to the original of 10.6 dB. With the key it comes out intact at 59.9 dB. Skolera has not published any measurement like this.

Screen recording is not blocked on Snatr, and neither is a phone filming the screen. The watermark only deters. On iPhone and iPad the video plays normally, but its protection is weaker against a technically skilled person. Learn about video protection on Snatr.

Online classes, exams and homework: what does each platform have?

Both have live classes and online exams. Snatr has live classes inside your platform with automatic attendance, an exam timer on the server, and a completion certificate with a verification code. On Skolera students can upload their homework as a file.

In Snatr

  • Live classes inside your platform on the Pro plan, with chat, raised hands and a mic for the student.
  • Attendance in a live class is recorded automatically: present or late.
  • Exams are graded automatically, and the timer runs on the server, so a student cannot extend it.
  • A printable course completion certificate that anyone can verify on a QR page.
  • Students answer questions on the platform; they do not upload a file or photo for homework.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • A virtual class inside Skolera through BigBlueButton, and students are notified when it starts.
  • Online quizzes and assignments, which the teacher assigns to all the course's classes in one step.
  • Students upload their homework or solve it online, if the teacher allows it.
  • A gradebook, and a printable grades certificate for each student in a course.
  • Badges, a hall of fame and behavior notes, with a question bank as an add-on.

This is from Skolera's FAQ and add-ons pages. School tools include things like behavior notes and a hall of fame, which are more useful in a school class than in a private lesson.

On Skolera students upload homework as a file, and on Snatr they answer questions on the platform. Multiple-choice and true-or-false exams are in both, and Snatr sends the grade to the parent's portal.

Live classes on Snatr are not encrypted like uploaded video. They carry a watermark and a temporary link, and screen recording works.

Running a school on Skolera, or running a center on Snatr?

Skolera runs a school: student affairs, payroll, transport, a library and a timetable. Snatr runs a tutoring center: branches and groups with schedules and capacity, QR card attendance, a parent portal and assistants with permissions.

In Snatr

  • Branches and groups with their schedules and number of places, plus sessions and an attendance sheet.
  • Attendance with a printed QR card for each student, or by hand from the session sheet.
  • Parents log in to a portal on your site and see their child's attendance and grades.
  • Assistants and receptionists with their own accounts, and you choose which screens each one sees.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • Student affairs: enrollment, academic and behavior records, and guardian details.
  • Human resources for staff: attendance, leave and payslips.
  • School transport, the library and inventory, and a timetable through the ASC Timetables add-on.
  • Parents see all their child's data, and are notified of absences or lateness.
  • Messages between teacher, student and parent, plus email, SMS and notifications.

Skolera has school management tools that Snatr does not: payroll, human resources, transport, the library, inventory and messages to parents. These are tools for a school, not for a tutoring center.

But a center is not a school. A center has groups that meet at fixed times, students who pay by the month or by the session, and an assistant at the door taking attendance. Those are exactly the screens Snatr has.

Snatr has 4 ready permission templates for assistants: reception, branch supervisor, academic assistant and full access. If you remove a permission, it is removed at that moment. The QR card is signed and cannot be forged, but it can be photographed and sent to someone else, so it is card attendance, not a fingerprint.

In short: See center management on Snatr if you have branches and groups.

A platform in your name to sell from, or a login portal for your school?

Snatr gives you a website and platform in your name, with your courses and prices, and Google can find it. Skolera gives a school a login link and an Android app in its name, for enrolled users only.

In Snatr

  • Your platform on a site in your name, with your courses, stages and prices.
  • 30 ready designs you edit with no code, and the first two are free.
  • Each site has its own sitemap, so Google can find your pages.
  • A custom domain like mybrand.com on the Pro plan, which the Snatr team buys and connects.
  • No mobile app in your name; students open your platform in the phone's browser.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • Each school has a login link, like nic.skoleralms.com in one of its app descriptions.
  • Users log in with an account given to them by the school's system administrator.
  • Android apps in each school's name on Google Play, published by Skolera Software Development.
  • No course page with prices for outside students, because it is a school system, not a store.

On Snatr, the first year of the custom domain is free with the Pro plan, and it is not available during the trial. Once it is connected, the old link redirects to it automatically, and your Google ranking moves with it.

Skolera publishes an Android app in each school's name, and parents get notified when a class starts or a deadline is missed. On Snatr there is no app, and parents open their portal on your site in the phone's browser.

In short: Browse Snatr's designs before you choose; each design has a full preview.

Is Skolera in Arabic? How do you start with each, and how does support work?

Skolera's marketing site is in Arabic and English, and you start with a demo request in a school's name. Snatr is in right-to-left Arabic, you start a 7-day trial yourself, and support is on WhatsApp and email.

In Snatr

  • The dashboard is right-to-left Arabic with English too, and your site can be Arabic, English or both.
  • You choose the registration fields students fill in, and students sign in by phone or email.
  • Students create their account on your platform, or you create it for them from the dashboard.
  • Support in Arabic on WhatsApp and email at support@snatr.com, around the clock.

In ⁨Skolera⁩

  • The marketing site is in Arabic and English; the language of the system itself is not stated.
  • You start with a demo form that asks for the school's name, its type and your job there.
  • Accounts for teachers, students and parents are created by the school's system administrator.
  • Technical support through a form that asks for the school's name, and an Egyptian WhatsApp number on the blog.

On Skolera, when a parent's second child enrolls at the school, the school itself contacts Skolera to add the child to the parent's account, according to the FAQ. That is normal in a system the school runs on everyone's behalf.

On Snatr, you own the account. You open your platform, add your courses, and your students sign up themselves with the details you chose.

Snatr's limits, before you sign up

We list them up front so you decide knowing everything.

  • Snatr is not a school system: it has no payroll, human resources, transport, library, inventory or timetable generator.
  • No file-based homework submission: students answer questions on the platform; they do not upload a file or photo for their homework.
  • No app in your name: your platform runs in the phone's browser.
  • No automatic messages to parents: no WhatsApp and no SMS. Parents follow along from their portal on your site.
  • Screen recording is not blocked: and neither is a phone filming the screen. The watermark makes the student's name visible, but does not stop it.
  • iPhone and iPad: the video plays normally, but its protection is weaker against a technically skilled person.
  • No earnings split between several teachers: in an academy with many teachers, all the money goes into one account.
  • Live classes and the custom domain are on the Pro plan only: and the domain is not available during the trial.
  • No installments: students cannot pay in installments through valU or banks.
  • Plan changes go through support: you do not change your plan yourself from the dashboard.
