ClassDojo vs Schoolvoice

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.

Schoolvoice is a school communication platform for connecting schools, teachers, parents, and students across Android, iOS, and web. It combines chat, voice messages, school channels, stories, a teacher drive, and live broadcasts. Messages can ask recipients to acknowledge or approve something, reply, or send absence and tardiness notes. Scheduling, reminders, message recall, approval workflows, delivery reports, and personalization are also listed. Schoolvoice can send an automatic SMS to parents who remain unreachable after an interval chosen by the school, and it names PowerSchool, OneRoster, and Excel as onboarding integrations. The Free plan costs nothing, billed Free Forever, and includes core features and unlimited parent messaging. Advanced costs $15 a year per student, billed once per year, and adds district-level and multi-school management, AI reports and insights, and priority support. Emergency alerts and payment requests are not included in Free; voice calls between parents and teachers, call recording, and transcripts are add-ons on both plans.
