AttenQR vs iAttended

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.

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.
