The honest verdict
To be fair: Class Systems has served this market since 1989 and runs at many established schools. The differences that decide the comparison are transparency and breadth — our prices are published in full, the platform speaks six languages, and the agency side of the business gets its own product instead of a workaround.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Fidelo a real alternative to Class Systems?
Functionally yes: bookings, course planning, host families, invoicing and agent commissions in one system, built for international language schools since 2005. The structural differences: published prices, six languages, and a separate product for agencies.
Can you migrate our data out of Class Systems?
We import from practically any system that can export its data (CSV, Excel, SQL). Before you commit, we run a test import of your enquiries, bookings, invoices, payments and contacts — you review your own school in Fidelo before go-live.
What does Fidelo cost?
Every price is public: from €20 per administrative user per month, across four packages and six volume tiers. Students, teachers and agents are free and unlimited. The pricing page has full tables and an interactive calculator — no quote required.
How does switching work?
In three steps: test import of your data, your review, then go-live — the timeline depends on your data volume, not on a sales process. You see your real records in Fidelo before you decide.
