AttenQR vs GEGI

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.

GEGI is student attendance software for schools and universities that replaces roll call with mobile check-in. Students can scan a classroom QR code, use a QR code with location verification, or check in through geolocation alone. GEGI validates geolocation against the relevant campus or clinical site, then calculates attendance from check-in, check-out, and break times. Instructors can create QR codes for one or more sessions and adjust their lifetime in clinical rotation settings. Attendance records appear instantly in faculty logs, synchronize with dashboards, and feed reporting in the SIS. The student app also provides profile access, tuition payment, and support contact options. Its API can manage student records, upload documents, log attendance and grades, and request attendance, grades, users, roles, and permissions. Check-In Reports show active and completed sessions, including successful and unsuccessful attempts. Canvas imports assignments and grades, with stated limits on grading types and fractional points. Android, iOS, web, and API access are listed.
