In their own words
AttenQR
AttenQR is an attendance system for classes that uses QR codes to record check-ins and enroll students. Students scan the daily attendance code, and teachers see check-ins appear in real time; a separate permanent code lets students join a course. Teachers can share courses with other teacher accounts to manage attendance together, then export records to CSV. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and supports English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. It has a free plan at free, while a one-time payment of 9.99 USD removes ads permanently; that premium status is tied to a user account and cannot be transferred. Ads are shown through Google AdMob, and the maker says attendance may not be recorded if a student closes the ad after scanning before it finishes. Course and attendance information is kept in US Firebase Cloud Firestore with encryption in transit and at rest and access controls. Data is automatically deleted 30 days after a course ends, so teachers can export it beforehand.
EduAttendance
EduAttendance is school attendance software built in Pakistan for schools using English or Urdu. It records daily roll calls, period registers, and gate check-ins and check-outs, with attendance settings configurable by section. Schools can use ZKTeco fingerprint, card, and face terminals to send live punches, and notify guardians by WhatsApp or SMS in either language, once per child per day per channel. Reports cover monthly sheets, class summaries, absentee and below-threshold lists, and register audits. A free Android app for parents and teachers comes with every plan; parents see only their own children’s records, and teachers see their sections. The PHP and MySQL system runs on EduAttendance’s cloud or a school’s server. Schools can import student lists from CSV, with rows previewed and checked before saving. A one-month trial includes the full system, student import, and the school’s WhatsApp number connected. Pricing is on request; SMS and WhatsApp gateway charges and optional readers are billed separately at cost.
