ClassDojo vs Classwize

ClassDojo connects teachers, families, and children around learning at school and at home. Teachers can share photos, videos, messages, and class updates, and use feedback points to recognize student skills and behaviors. Private teacher-family messaging supports direct communication. The free ClassDojo plan costs nothing and includes teacher messaging, class points, and class story updates. Plus adds Homework Helper, access to more than 2,000 Magic Books stories, and the option to automatically add school events to a Google or Apple calendar. The subscription can be shared with up to three other grown-ups. ClassDojo is available on the web, iOS, and Android, and teachers can use it alongside Google Classroom. The latest app requires iOS 17 or later or Android 8 or later; Kindle devices are no longer supported. ClassDojo says it complies with COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR in Europe, and that it does not share user or student information with advertisers or marketers.

Classwize gives teachers a real-time view of students’ online activity and tools to manage it during class. Teachers can spot off-task use, block or unblock websites, close tabs, and pause internet access for a class, group, or individual students. They can choose sites and apps ahead of a lesson, then open resources on all student devices or selected devices. The product supports managed BYOD for Chrome, Windows, and macOS. Schools can sync Google Classroom classes, assigned students, and teachers. Linewize says the Google connection reads only the specific data required and cannot access or change other Google Workspace data. The product sheet describes detailed user reports and collaborative classroom tools. The product page displays SOC 2 Type I, SOC 2 Type II, and 1EdTech TrustEd Apps Certified badges. Training courses and video tutorials are available through Qoria’s Academy. Classwize is presented for schools and districts; prospective customers can request a demo, and pricing is on request.
