ConductIQ vs LiveSchool

ConductIQ is a web-based platform for K–12 schools to track student behavior, produce conduct reports, and manage interventions. It records behavior and work ethic marks separately and lets schools customize behavior codes. Incidents can be divided into AM and PM using a transition time set to match the school schedule. Substitute teachers can submit incidents through a time-limited link without logging in; staff review submissions before they become official. The system compares student mark counts with the grade-level cohort and assigns Tier 2, Tier 3, or Elevated risk buckets. Intervention plans support progress tracking with system or school-defined measures and configurable logging cadence. Teachers can send referrals for counselor review, and staff can record consequences such as detention and suspension on student profiles. ConductIQ provides weekly PDF summaries and says reports can be sent automatically to parents each Friday. The maker says admin and counselor accounts require TOTP two-factor authentication, while teacher two-factor authentication is optional. Its Small School plan costs $600 a year for up to 300 students; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

LiveSchool is a behavior management platform for K-12 schools and districts, built around tracking behavior and using points and rewards to support positive school culture. Its tools include behavior tracking, a rewards store, House Points, hall passes, and family engagement, with support for PBIS and SEL programs. Parents, guardians, and students can use the service for free, while schools pay for staff users. The free Pilot plan covers one grade level for up to one school year. Starter is listed at $49 per staff member per year for 40 staff, and Premium is $99 per staff member per year for 40 staff. Subscriptions require at least 10 staff and a 12-month term. Educators, students, and families can sign in through a browser or use the LiveSchool Next app on iPhone, iPad, and Android. The platform supports roster synchronization and single sign-on through Clever and ClassLink. LiveSchool says it complies with FERPA and COPPA and describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and default deletion of student records within 60 days after service ends, subject to legal or data-sharing requirements.
