RosarioSIS vs ThinkWave
Both stand on school management software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
RosarioSIS offers a broad set of school-management modules with both self-hosted and hosted options. Schools should account for update management when self-hosting, or compare hosted plan support and backup retention.
