AttendUni vs GatePass

AttendUni has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

GatePass is a school gate attendance and parent-notification system for managing student entry and related school routines. A QR scan confirms a student’s entry, records attendance, and notifies a parent in under two seconds. If the network drops, scanning continues; scan times are retained and parent notifications wait until reconnection. The system also supports registers, emergency roll-call, trips, boarding, visitor management, and fees. Visitors can pre-book, check in by QR at the gate, notify their host, and receive a digital pass. Parents, staff, gatekeepers, and visitors use the same app, while admins and headteachers manage the school in a web dashboard. GatePass says schools can begin with an existing phone and printed QR cards, without a server or special hardware. All plans include unlimited scans, QR ID cards, reports, visitor management, audit trail, API access, and priority support. A full-featured free trial covers one full term at zero cost, with no card or commitment. Paid term plans start at 150,000 UGX, paid once for up to 499 students.
