In their own words
EduAttendance
EduAttendance is school attendance software built in Pakistan for schools using English or Urdu. It records daily roll calls, period registers, and gate check-ins and check-outs, with attendance settings configurable by section. Schools can use ZKTeco fingerprint, card, and face terminals to send live punches, and notify guardians by WhatsApp or SMS in either language, once per child per day per channel. Reports cover monthly sheets, class summaries, absentee and below-threshold lists, and register audits. A free Android app for parents and teachers comes with every plan; parents see only their own children’s records, and teachers see their sections. The PHP and MySQL system runs on EduAttendance’s cloud or a school’s server. Schools can import student lists from CSV, with rows previewed and checked before saving. A one-month trial includes the full system, student import, and the school’s WhatsApp number connected. Pricing is on request; SMS and WhatsApp gateway charges and optional readers are billed separately at cost.
iAttended
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.
