LeadSquared converts your leads.
Vacademy converts and teaches them.
LeadSquared is a mature, powerful sales and marketing-automation CRM that many institutes use for admissions — and it's genuinely good at lead management, automation, calling and reporting. But it's a sales CRM with an education layer, priced per user, and it stops at the enrolment. Vacademy is education-native and all-in-one: the same admissions firepower plus a full teaching platform, an agentic AI voice agent, on flat pricing.
Why teams switch from LeadSquared
Three reasons your team will move
Education-native beats a sales CRM with an education skin
LeadSquared is built for generic sales pipelines and adds an education vertical on top. Vacademy is built for institutes from the data model up — parent and child records, batches, demo classes, and auto-convert on enrolment are native concepts, not custom fields you have to bolt on.
The lead and the learner live in one place
With a CRM-only tool, the journey ends at enrolment and a separate LMS begins — two systems, two logins, broken context. Vacademy carries the same record from capture through scoring, counsellor routing, payment, and into courses, live classes and assessments. No hand-off, no integration tax.
Ten team members in the price, not a price per user
LeadSquared lists its Sales Pro plan at $60 per user per month, so the cost climbs with every counsellor you add. Vacademy's CRM is a ₹32,000 a year add-on to an LMS plan. It includes 10 team members, and each extra member is ₹2,000. LMS plans start at ₹3,000 a month, so the teaching platform comes with it.

How to switch
LeadSquared → Vacademy without dropping a single lead
Most institutes go live in around 48 hours. Lead pipeline, counsellor structure and follow-up SLAs are mapped first, with a parallel run so nothing slips during cut-over.
Export leads, owners + dispositions
Pull your lead records, owner assignments, stage/status, scores and call dispositions from LeadSquared via CSV or API. We map them to Vacademy's education-native model.
Rebuild capture, scoring + routing
Reconnect your capture sources (website, Meta/Google lead ads, forms, walk-ins, CSV), set auto-dedupe and 0–100 scoring, and recreate counsellor pools with your routing and SLA clocks.
Wire telephony + the AI voice agent
Connect click-to-call with recording and disposition capture, then enable the Aarushi voice agent to call, qualify and route fresh leads per your policy.
Parallel run + cut-over
Run a slice of new leads through Vacademy alongside LeadSquared to validate, then cut over. LeadSquared stays available as a fallback during the transition.
Example scenario: moving from LeadSquared to Vacademy
Admissions-led institute · moved from a sales CRM
“LeadSquared did the lead and calling work well, but it was only ever half the picture — the moment a learner enrolled, we dropped them into a completely separate LMS and the context vanished. Moving to Vacademy meant the lead and the student finally lived in one place. The agentic voice agent picking up first-touch calls was the part the team didn't expect to love, and not paying per counsellor seat changed how we think about growing the team.”
