The Salesforce Question

CoPilot re-implements student success on Salesforce. Overgrad delivers the same outcomes without the platform dependency.

✕ Licensing costs compound every year
✕ Execution depends on admin availability
✕ Student experience must be custom-built
The Alternative

Same outcomes. No Salesforce required.

Overgrad delivers college access tracking, FAFSA completion, and alumni persistence without licensing fees or admin overhead.

Excludes ongoing admin time

CoPilot starts at $11,400/year per Salesforce AppExchange. Salesforce Education Cloud licenses typically run $1,500/user/year.

The Real Difference: Execution Without Salesforce

Salesforce-based tools work. Until execution depends on infrastructure.

Execution doesn't stall when staff changes No admin bottleneck
No backlog of custom work No queue of tickets to change behavior
Programs launch on real timelines No CRM abstraction layer
Costs don't compound over time No dependency stack to maintain

Same outcomes. No Salesforce required.

When CoPilot Makes Sense (and When It Doesn't)

  • You already run Salesforce org-wide
  • You have internal Salesforce admin capacity
  • You expect ongoing customization work

If those describe your organization, CoPilot is a reasonable choice. If not, you're buying infrastructure you don't need.

Where Overgrad Differs

Purpose-built means no Salesforce overhead.

Which Platform Fits?

CoPilot works if:

  • Salesforce is already non-negotiable
  • You accept ongoing admin and customization work
  • You're prepared to invest in infrastructure long-term

Choose Overgrad if:

  • You want outcomes without infrastructure
  • You don't want execution tied to admins
  • You want systems that work immediately and stay stable

The question isn't which platform is better. It's whether you want a Salesforce dependency.
