Gradekeeper vs Madrasatey

Gradekeeper helps teachers manage grades, attendance, and classroom records. Its gradebook displays students, assignments, scores, and term grades, recalculating grades when information changes. Teachers can track absences and tardies, set non-class days, make seating charts, print reports, and email progress reports after configuring addresses and mail settings. The Google edition syncs students, assignments, and scores from Classroom while preserving Gradekeeper additions such as attendance and seating charts. Web editions save classes to Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive; the software also works with Online Grades and SchoolSpeak to post grades online. The web app runs in browsers on Chromebook, Linux, Windows, or Mac. Separate mobile apps are available for iPad, iPhone, and Android; the downloadable Windows app requires Windows 10 or 11. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is listed. One-time licenses cost $20 as a one-time purchase for one user, $100, paid once for a school, and $500, paid once for a district, with no annual renewal and future versions included.

Madrasatey is a school management platform for madaris, maktabs and Islamic schools, with tools for attendance, fees, assessments and parent communication. It lists 17 institution types, including Quran academies and hifz classes, and supports English, Urdu and Arabic with right-to-left text. Teachers can record attendance and send automatic alerts for absences or lateness. Parents can receive results, report cards, fee reminders and meeting invitations through WhatsApp; an installable parent app also provides push updates about attendance, results and fees. School analytics can be examined by class, teacher and subject, with slipping sections flagged automatically. Users can make or import MCQ quizzes, which are auto-graded and display live results. The fees module combines siblings on a family invoice and includes records, receipts, discounts and a defaulters list. Other tools handle bulk certificate creation and verification, and tracking student progress through imported YouTube playlists. Role-based access and an audit log cover changes to grades, fees and records. Madrasatey offers a free plan for Madaris and Maktabs at free, with no per-parent charges. It runs on Android and the web.
