Skolbot vs Ideta: no-code platform or admissions-specialist assistant?
Ideta, a Septeo group company, is a no-code platform for building chatbots, callbots and livechat, with a documented education vertical. Skolbot is a turnkey assistant for admissions. The comparison comes down to who builds, and for which use case.

- Hosting and data residency are not documented on the cited public pages: request the security documentation
- No named CRM connector (HubSpot, Salesforce…) is published: confirm the sync scope in writing
- Admissions lead qualification and scoring are not documented publicly
- Self-serve by default: clarify how much configuration remains on the school's side
- Plans are capped in conversations per month: cost out admission-season traffic
