Easebuzz and FastFee are not direct substitutes. Easebuzz is a payment gateway — it processes online transactions. FastFee is a fee collection platform — it manages the full workflow: due date scheduling, UPI AutoPay mandates, WhatsApp reminders, installment tracking, bank reconciliation, and overdue recovery. A payment gateway tells you money arrived; FastFee ensures money arrives in the first place. Many institutions need both.
