Audiri vs School Stream

Audiri centralises communications for schools, tertiary education, and community organisations across Android, iOS, and the web. Schools can target updates to groups, control who may post, and use newsletters, group messages, two-way messaging, and SMS notifications. The platform also handles calendars, event RSVPs, digital forms and signatures, and parent-teacher appointment scheduling. Payments and orders can run through the My School Connect integration; Audiri says it does not store credit card information. GeoSnapshot is listed for photo sharing, and schools can ask about other integrations. Parents and teachers use the school app free, without limits on content or notifications, while school pricing is available on request for Starter, Essential, and Premium plans. Premium is the package shown with a custom-branded app. Audiri says it has passed Safer Technology 4 Schools readiness, hosts data in Australia, and lets schools restrict sensitive information or make profiles private. Support includes unlimited phone help, tutorials, articles, and an online resource centre.

School Stream is a school communication app for connecting schools with families. Schools can send targeted notices, reminders and newsletters, and create digital forms for permission slips, excursions and absences, including digital signatures. Its messaging supports unlimited conversations between school and home, with private messages to families and groups. Schools can publish event details such as permission notes, times and maps, and sync online calendars. Payments can be collected through School Stream Forms, with processing handled by Stripe. On-demand translation supports over 100 languages. Schools can see who has read notices and when, and manage parent accounts and groups. School Stream runs on Android, iOS and the web. Families have free access; school pricing is on request, with the school plan billed annually. The company says its servers are in AWS’s Sydney region in Australia, and that data at rest uses 256-bit AES encryption while services use at least TLS 1.2. Each school is assigned a Customer Success Manager for support and training.
