Aulapp

What Aulapp does

Aulapp is a Mexico City-headquartered SaaS provider of a Collaborative Learning Management System (CLMS) — a cloud-based educational platform delivered entirely through a web browser that combines traditional LMS course management with real-time collaboration tools. The platform integrates video calling, screen sharing, a shared whiteboard, simultaneous document editing, file transfer, multimedia content tools, and the full Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive) accessible without local installation, all underpinned by the company's proprietary "Operactive" UX-behavior technology. Aulapp targets four institutional segments — schools and universities, corporations, NGOs, and government entities — and distributes its product via direct sales with a minimum contract floor of 250 students per institution, served through custom URLs (e.g., institution.adistancia.mx) and institutional branding.

The company monetizes through per-user recurring SaaS subscriptions billed monthly, with flexible adjustment for short-term enrollment changes, plus professional services for administrator training. Its infrastructure footprint is global — data centers in Illinois, Virginia, Texas, the United Kingdom, and Japan — supporting up to 98 million simultaneous users and 99.99% uptime, with a claimed base of 105,000+ Facebook endorsements from Mexican youth aged 14-25. Named customers include BUAP, Servicios de Salud del Estado de Puebla, in.Q.ba, CPDS, CECYTEQ, IPJ, state governments of Puebla/Veracruz/Tlaxcala, and enterprise logos (VW, Porsche, SEAT, Audi, SKF, Google, Microsoft, Telcel). The business is privately held, has raised no disclosed funding rounds, and reports a headcount of 1-10 employees.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription - Per Student/User: Subscription-based model renting the platform to institutions. Minimum requirement of 250 students. Pricing varies by number of users (students and teachers). If enrollment increases or decreases month-to-month, billing adjusts accordingly for that period.
2. Professional Services (Training): Training services for institutional administrators who manage classes, teachers, and students. Students and teachers require minimal training due to intuitive interface.

Core offering

Aulapp is a cloud-based SaaS educational platform marketed as the first Collaborative Learning Management System (CLMS). It combines traditional LMS course administration with built-in real-time collaboration tools — video calls, shared whiteboard, screen sharing, simultaneous document editing, file transfer, multimedia publishing, and integrated Microsoft Office. The platform is delivered entirely through a web browser (no installation required), distributed across data centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, and is sold on a per-student subscription basis to educational institutions, companies, organizations, and government entities (minimum 250 students per contract).

Product overview

Aulapp is a single unified product — the Aulapp CLMS (Collaborative Learning Management System) — a cloud-based SaaS educational platform delivered entirely through a web browser. It was developed in 2010 as the first system in its category, combining traditional LMS course management with real-time collaborative tools. The core platform integrates built-in communication tools (video calls, shared whiteboard, screen sharing, file transfer, document collaboration), academic tools (syllabi, exams, essays, forums), multimedia tools (YouTube, Ustream, Prezi, Slideshare, Soundcloud), and productivity tools (Microsoft Office suite — Word, Excel, PowerPoint — integrated directly). The platform also incorporates knowledge retrieval via Wolfram Alpha and search engines (Google, Bing). Customers can access a custom institutional URL (e.g., institution.adistancia.mx) with their own branding on the login page. The platform is closed-source and runs exclusively on Aulapp's own servers with no self-hosting option.

Direct peers

• Moodle: Open-source LMS used widely across K-12, higher education, and corporate training globally — including significant adoption across Latin America. Directly competes with Aulapp's LMS+collaboration offering on the same institutional buyer segment, with Moodle's free/hosted model being the primary price benchmark Aulapp must differentiate against.
• Docebo: AI-powered enterprise learning platform with strong corporate and government training positioning. Directly comparable to Aulapp's "Companies/Corporate" and "Government Entities" customer segments, with deeper enterprise integration and AI features that pressure Aulapp in higher-budget enterprise deals.
• Schoology (PowerSchool): K-12-focused LMS acquired by PowerSchool, integrating assessment, grading, and SIS workflows. Direct competitor for CECYTEQ-style technical high school customers, with deeper SIS integration through PowerSchool being a key differentiator Aulapp cannot match.
• TalentLMS: Cloud LMS targeted at employee training and SMB/corporate segment with a pay-per-user SaaS model similar to Aulapp's institutional subscription. Comparable in scale, target buyer (training administrators), and pricing structure — making it a close peer for Aulapp's corporate training push (VW, Porsche, SEAT).
• Brightspace (D2L): Cloud-based LMS serving higher education, K-12, and corporate customers with adaptive learning and analytics features. Comparable platform architecture, customer verticals (universities, government), and SaaS delivery model — competing for the same institutional buyers Aulapp targets.
• Google Classroom: Free LMS tightly integrated with Google Workspace, dominating K-12 globally and in Mexico through Ministry of Education partnerships. Direct competitor to Aulapp for school customers, with pricing (free) that forces Aulapp to compete purely on collaboration features and Microsoft Office integration.
• Edmodo: Education-focused collaboration platform historically strong in Mexico and Latin America. Direct peer for Aulapp's K-12 and middle-market institutional segment, with shared positioning combining LMS functionality with communication tools.
• Canvas by Instructure: Cloud-based LMS targeting schools and universities, marketed on ease-of-use and rich collaboration features (Speedgrader, collaborative discussions). Direct competitor in the institutional LMS market, with strong international footprint that could pressure Aulapp's Latin America accounts.
• Microsoft Teams for Education: Microsoft's collaboration + LMS hybrid product bundled with Microsoft 365 Education. Directly challenges Aulapp's position as a CLMS with deep Office integration, but with the structural advantage of being included free with education licenses — a material competitive threat to Aulapp's Microsoft-dependent positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Blackboard: Established incumbent LMS provider for higher education and K-12, offering a broad portfolio (Learn, Ultra, Ally) including real-time collaboration. Competes with Aulapp in university and government deployments via enterprise sales, with the structural advantage of a much larger installed base.
