FastFee vs Igniter
Igniter bundles a branded app, website, LMS and fee management for offline coaching, priced as a share of course sales. FastFee is a focused fee collection and recovery layer. This page is about which model actually fits your institute.
If you want one bundled product — branded student app, website, LMS, AI tutor and fee management — and are comfortable paying a percentage of course sales, Igniter is built for that. If you already have (or do not want) an LMS and mainly need fees and dues collected, reconciled and recovered without a revenue-share cost that grows with your turnover, FastFee is the narrower, cheaper-at-scale choice.
Igniter fits when…
- You are starting a coaching brand and want the app, website and LMS in one place
- You want AI course generation and an AI doubt tutor bundled in
- You are comfortable with a pricing model tied to a percentage of course sales
- You do not already run a separate LMS or ERP
FastFee fits when…
- You already have your teaching setup and only need fees collected, reconciled and recovered
- You want predictable pricing that does not scale with your revenue
- You need UPI AutoPay / eNACH mandates, promise-to-pay tracking and a daily recovery list
- You also collect non-education dues (rent, EMI, society, B2B) on the same platform

FastFee vs Igniter — FAQ
What is the difference between FastFee and Igniter?
Igniter is a bundled platform for offline coaching — branded student app, website, LMS, AI features and fee management — typically priced as a percentage of course sales. FastFee is a dedicated fee collection and recovery layer: reminders, UPI AutoPay / eNACH, reconciliation, promise-to-pay and a daily recovery list, on plan-based pricing that does not scale with revenue.
Does the Igniter revenue-share model get expensive at scale?
A percentage-of-sales model costs more as your course revenue grows. At ₹50 lakh annual course sales, a 5% share is ₹2.5 lakh/year; at ₹2 crore it is ₹10 lakh/year — regardless of how many payments were actually collected. A plan-based tool like FastFee has a cost you can predict independent of turnover. Run your own numbers before committing.
Is FastFee an Igniter alternative?
For the fee-collection part, yes. FastFee replaces the collection, reminder and recovery workflow and adds AutoPay mandates, reconciliation and field collection. It does not replace Igniter’s LMS, branded app or AI tutor — if those are core to you, that is a point for Igniter.
Can FastFee work alongside an LMS I already use?
Yes. FastFee is designed to sit next to your existing teaching stack (LMS, app, ERP) and own only the money workflow — dues, reminders, collection, reconciliation and recovery.
Does FastFee support multi-branch coaching?
Yes. FastFee gives multi-branch and chain institutes branch-wise collection, a consolidated dashboard and centralized pending-fee visibility.
Which is better for a growing coaching institute?
If you need the whole stack and accept revenue-share pricing, Igniter. If you have the teaching side covered and want strong, predictable-cost collection and recovery — plus the option to collect other dues on one platform — FastFee.
