Attendances vs iAttended

Attendances is a cloud-based attendance system for schools, colleges, and other institutions, available on Android and the web. It records attendance using AI face recognition, QR-code ID cards, or biometric devices, and can match uploaded student photos without a separate enrollment session. The site says scans take roughly 200–300 milliseconds and support more than 60 people per minute. Schools can configure class-wise automatic absence rules and get daily lists of students who missed check-in or check-out. Reports can be filtered by device, student, class, or date and exported to PDF or Excel. Parents may receive School eDiary push notifications when students are marked in or out; SMS costs extra. Photo settings range from sharing no images to sharing scan images or capturing live photos at each scan. Packages include selected parent-app and ERP modules. When internet access drops at a gate, scans queue on the device, but notifications wait until connectivity returns. Pricing is by school-specific quote, and a trial account can be set up with a school's own data.

iAttended lets people check in and track attendance at events, classes, chapel, and meetings. Users can confirm attendance by scanning a QR code, entering a text code, watching a video, or tapping a button. The app shows progress against attendance requirements set by the hosting school or organization, and it supports absence tracking. Check-ins are stored in the cloud and sync with that organization. Users can sign in with email or an Apple, Google, or Microsoft account. iAttended is available on the web, Android, iPhone, and iPad; the iPhone app requires iOS 15.6 or later. Google Play says data is encrypted in transit and users can request deletion. Apple's listing says location, contact information, and identifiers may be linked to users, while usage and diagnostic data may not be linked to them. Pricing is on request, and a 30-day trial is offered. The App Store lists a free iAttended plan. The app describes its audience as students, meeting members, and event attendees.
