Classplus and FastFee are not substitutes — they serve different jobs. Classplus is an LMS and creator platform: live classes, content, a student-facing app, batch management, and creator growth. FastFee is a dedicated collection layer: UPI AutoPay mandates so fees debit automatically, NACH bounce recovery, installment tracking, bank reconciliation, multi-branch HO dashboard, and overdue recovery. Most serious coaching institutes use an LMS for teaching and FastFee for the fee collection workflow.

See FastFee in 10 minutes →A new 0.4% MDR applies to most merchant UPI transactions above ₹2,000 from October 15, 2026. UPI AutoPay mandates are reported to be excluded. Education is reported to receive a ₹5 flat rate rather than 0.4%. If your institute collects ₹10,000/student/month via a regular UPI payment link (as most LMS platforms do), the new MDR costs ₹40/student/month per the 0.4% rate. Via UPI AutoPay (FastFee's core collection method), the rate stays at ₹5 flat. Verify final RBI/NPCI notification for the exact categories and effective date.

The Two-Tool Approach: Classplus for Teaching, FastFee for Collection
Classplus helps you deliver teaching and grow as a creator. FastFee handles what happens after the student enrols — ensuring the fees actually come in, every installment, on time, with reconciliation and recovery when they don't.
Classplus collects one-time or upfront fees well. For installment-heavy enrolments with partial payments and overdue accounts, FastFee's PTP tracking, DPD escalation, and reconciliation are purpose-built for this.
At small scale, Classplus's payment acceptance and WhatsApp notifications are sufficient. Add FastFee when overdue rate or student count makes collection complex.
Classplus's reporting is course and creator-focused. FastFee's HO dashboard shows branch-wise outstanding, installment-level tracking, and consolidated collection position.
UPI AutoPay mandates are excluded from the new 0.4% MDR framework. Education gets ₹5 flat rate. Regular UPI payment links (including those sent via Classplus) will be subject to the new MDR above ₹2,000.
FAQ
Can I use Classplus and FastFee together?

FastFee handles collection: installment schedules, UPI AutoPay mandates, NACH bounce recovery, WhatsApp reminders, reconciliation, overdue recovery. They don't overlap — they serve sequential jobs in the student lifecycle.
Does Classplus charge revenue share on fees?
Classplus pricing varies by plan. Some plans historically charged a percentage of revenue collected through the platform; the ₹29,999/year Grow plan positions as fixed-fee. Verify current pricing at classplus.co — plans change.
What is the difference between Classplus and FastFee?
Classplus is built for teaching and creator growth. FastFee is built for fee collection. Classplus helps you deliver content and acquire students; FastFee ensures you get paid on schedule, with automation, reconciliation, and recovery when you don't.
How do UPI MDR changes from October 2026 affect coaching institutes?
From October 15, 2026, a new 0.4% MDR applies to most merchant UPI transactions above ₹2,000. UPI AutoPay mandates are excluded from this. Education is reported to receive a ₹5 flat rate. This means institutes collecting fees via regular UPI payment links will pay MDR from October; those using AutoPay mandates (FastFee's core) won't. Verify the final RBI/NPCI notification for confirmed categories.
Does FastFee work with Classplus?
FastFee is a collection layer that works alongside any teaching platform. You keep using Classplus for teaching and use FastFee's mandate-based collection, reconciliation, and recovery on the same student base. There is no native API integration — the student list is managed in both systems.
