Where Bildena is stronger

One job, done properly.

  1. 01

    A solver built only for timetabling

    Google OR-Tools CP-SAT with hard rules and weighted preferences — and when a timetable is impossible, it names the rules that clash.

  2. 02

    Problems caught before you solve

    ~65 checks run first, each with a suggested fix and a link to the right screen.

  3. 03

    A price on the website

    From €490 per school per year, no modules. PowerSchool is priced by custom quote.

  4. 04

    Try it without a procurement cycle

    Self-serve sign-up and a free month on your own school's data.

  5. 05

    An AI assistant that edits on request

    Describe a change in plain words; you approve it before anything is written.

Where PowerSchool is stronger

To be fair.

  1. 01

    It's your system of record

    Enrolment, grades, attendance and schedules live in PowerSchool, at district scale. Bildena School is new.

  2. 02

    Mature course requests and sectioning

    PowerScheduler places students into the sections that best fit their requests, with section types such as bilingual sections.

  3. 03

    Semesters and terms

    Bildena schedules a full academic year and doesn't model semesters or terms yet. If your master schedule is built around them, weigh that heavily.

  4. 04

    No export step

    Records and schedules stay in one system. With Bildena Scheduler, data moves by Excel or CSV.

Moving from PowerSchool

Four steps, inside your free month.

  1. 01

    Export from PowerSchool

    Courses, teachers, students and rooms, as CSV.

  2. 02

    Import into Bildena

    Map the columns once and preview before anything is written.

  3. 03

    Solve

    Set your rules and let the solver build the timetable — with reasons if something can't be placed.

  4. 04

    Export the result

    Download the finished timetable as Excel or CSV.

Honestly: There is no live sync with PowerSchool — data moves by Excel or CSV.

Price

A published price — or a custom quote.

PowerSchool prices per district by quote. Bildena's price is on the website.
