Ed Vs Spark

Sunbird Spark is the next iteration of Sunbird ED, built to be more streamlined, easier to set up, and more cost-effective.

A key shift is its flexible, modular approach — features that were previously always enabled are now optional, allowing you to use only what you need. This helps reduce complexity while improving efficiency.
