The options
What people compare Salesforce Education Cloud with
Salesforce Education Cloud Core lists at US$87 per user/month, billed annually, for eligible nonprofits, while for-profit pricing is quoted privately. Owners look for an alternative when an annual per-seat bill and a wider learner-lifecycle system are more than their adviser work requires.

How to choose a Salesforce Education Cloud alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Salesforce Education Cloud Core lists at US$87 per user/month, billed annually, for eligible nonprofits. Count the paid adviser and service-team seats in your agreement, then compare that annual commitment with your actual staffing needs. For-profit institutions should check their own quote, as the published rate is nonprofit pricing.

Who owns your records
Ask where your learner records live, who controls them and how you can take them with you. Enterprise DNA's version keeps your records in a database you own, and the described records can be exported with their recorded change history. Confirm what happens to attachments and other unsupported history.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
List the learner details, owners, review dates and checks your team actually uses. Education Cloud serves a wider learner lifecycle, while this option focuses on recorded adviser work. A custom version can be built around your institution's definitions, fields and review process, rather than asking your staff to work around a generic setup.

What switching involves
Map the records and history you need to move before deciding. Supported records can be exported from detailed Salesforce reports, mapped, test imported, then checked against counts and sample learners. Attachments, access rules and other unsupported history need a separate migration plan. Scope existing connections too.
The option that fits
Own a version built around your business
Student Success is built around how your institution works. Enterprise DNA brings supported Salesforce records across and runs your version for you. You keep the underlying records in a database you own, with fields and review rules shaped around your process. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you would rather manage it yourself, a free version is available. This is the closer fit when adviser work matters more than paying for a wider learner-lifecycle system.

Questions
Salesforce Education Cloud alternatives, answered
How much does Salesforce Education Cloud cost? expand_more
For eligible nonprofits, Education Cloud Core lists at US$87 per user/month, billed annually. For-profit institutions are directed to a separate pricing guide, so check your own quote. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. The free version has no software seat fee, but you cover hosting and your chosen assistant.
Can we move our learner records from Salesforce? expand_more
Supported records can be brought across by exporting detailed Salesforce reports, mapping the headings and running a test import. Check counts and sample learners before proceeding. Attachments, access rules and other unsupported history need a separate migration plan. Enterprise DNA handles the mapping as part of your agreed build.
Will this replace everything we use Education Cloud for? expand_more
It covers the staff record work described here, including caseloads, alerts, support plans, actions, referrals and interaction history. Education Cloud serves a wider learner lifecycle. Scope your other requirements and existing connections before building your version, so you can see what it will and will not replace.
Can the system follow our privacy and review rules? expand_more
Your version can be scoped around the access controls and local requirements you need. The free version flags accuracy and retention reviews and records a sharing basis for referrals. Your staff still verify the facts and decide what can be shared. These checks do not certify compliance or make care decisions.
