Most evaluations compare feature lists, which every vendor passes. The questions that separate systems are about what happens when things go wrong: what a bad network does to attendance, what a board format change costs, who can see a fee ledger, and whether you can get your data out without asking.
We sell one of these, so read this knowing that. The questions below are ones we are happy to be asked, and you should ask them of us too.
A demo is a rehearsed path through a working system on good wifi with clean data. Nothing about that resembles a Tuesday in October, which is why feature-list evaluations mislead so reliably.
Data export on demand, in a structured format, without a support request. Response time when something that blocks money or results breaks. And what happens to your data if you leave — how long it is retained and how it is returned.
A vendor unwilling to write those down is telling you something. So is one whose export is a PDF.
If you need a content library, a learning marketplace or a system that files your returns for you, we are the wrong choice and say so on the relevant pages. If your school runs on one desk and a receipt book and is content, software will add work before it removes any.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
Per student per year is the common basis for schools. Compare on what is included rather than the headline rate — implementation, migration, messaging credits and support are where quoted prices diverge.
Two to three weeks for a single school is realistic where the school can supply its structure and data. Longer for groups. Any quote that ignores your data quality is optimistic.
Yes, on one real class with your real fee structure and report card format — not a sample school. A pilot on sample data tests nothing you need to know.
Checked by the Implementations desk on 7 September 2026. Corrections go in the page, dated, rather than quietly.
Pricing is on the page, in the open, with the counting rule written next to it. Nobody has to book a call to find out what it costs.
