The top-rated library management software for Assam study libraries and reading rooms. Purpose-built for Indian study libraries with every feature an Assam library owner needs - biometric fingerprint integration, visual seat mapping, multi-shift management, automated WhatsApp fee reminders in Assamese, GST-ready invoicing, and Library Spotlight student directory. Flat pricing at Rs 299/month regardless of seat count - whether you run a 30-seat reading room in Nagaon or a 200-seat AC study library near Guwahati's GS Road coaching corridor. No onboarding fee, no per-message WhatsApp charges. Includes free mock test series for APSC, UPSC, SSC, and banking exam aspirants. Trusted by 2,500+ libraries across 100+ Indian cities.
Start Free Trial →A mobile-first library management app with seat management, QR-based attendance, WhatsApp reminders, and fee collection. The free plan suits very small libraries, while Pro at Rs 250/month adds more features. Lacks biometric fingerprint device integration, GST invoicing, mock tests for APSC aspirants, and a student discovery directory.
A feature-rich platform with biometric support and white-labelled websites. Pricing scales by seat count - Rs 249/month for 1-50 seats, up to Rs 649/month for 201-300 seats. Also charges Rs 0.1725 per WhatsApp message and a Rs 499 onboarding fee. The per-seat model means a growing Guwahati or Dibrugarh library pays significantly more than flat-priced alternatives as seat counts increase.
A seat management app with WhatsApp reminders, UPI payment tracking, QR ID cards, and ladies-only seat zones. Pro at Rs 250/month is affordable but limited to 2 branches - a constraint for owners expanding across Guwahati, Dibrugarh, and Silchar. No biometric fingerprint devices, no GST invoicing.
A free library management app for study halls. Free plan supports up to 20 students with seat management, multi-shift scheduling, and WhatsApp reminders. Good for a brand-new reading room, but the 20-student cap is far too restrictive for Guwahati study libraries that routinely seat 60-150+ students preparing for APSC and UPSC. No biometric devices.
An Indian library management platform with a limited free plan and paid plans starting around Rs 500/month. Offers seat management and member tracking. Paid plans cost nearly double that of competitors offering more features. Lacks biometric integration, GST invoicing, and a student directory.
An exam-coaching focused platform integrating library management with test scheduling. Budget-friendly at Rs 199/month with seat booking, shift management, and fee tracking. Lacks biometric integration, WhatsApp automation, and GST invoicing - features Assam's competitive coaching libraries increasingly expect.
A desktop-based library software at Rs 150/month for basic cataloging and book issue/return. The cheapest paid option, but desktop-only with no mobile app, no cloud access, no seat management - unsuitable for Assam study library owners who need mobile-first management on the go.
A cloud-based Integrated Library System for traditional book libraries. Strong at cataloging and OPAC, but built for book libraries - not the paid study rooms and coaching libraries growing across Assam. USD pricing starts at $139/year. No seat mapping, shift management, or biometric attendance.
A library management platform with seat mapping and multi-shift support. Pricing is not publicly listed. No biometric devices, no GST invoicing, no mock tests, and no student discovery directory.
