In their own words
Acadly
Acadly automates class attendance and provides tools for in-class engagement, including polls, quizzes, word clouds, discussions, and a class backchannel. Instructors can configure the roster, schedule, and attendance rules in advance so sessions run automatically. Acadly says its mesh-network technology verifies physical presence without GPS or QR codes, does not track geolocation, and flags suspicious patterns for instructor review. A native PowerPoint add-in can launch attendance and polls from slides and is described as working on Mac and PC. Institutional deployments support LTI compatibility with Moodle, Brightspace, Blackboard, and Canvas, as well as Zoom and PowerPoint integrations. Basic is listed at $3 a month; its pricing details also show a teacher-pays rate of $3 per course or student-pays rate of $5 per course. Pro is listed at $5 a month, with teacher-pays at $5 per course or student-pays at $10 per course. A First Course Free option covers one course for up to five months, but excludes fraud alerts. Acadly is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web.
