LiveSchool vs Panorama Behavior

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.

Panorama Behavior is a web product for educators and administrators tracking student behavior and coordinating support across schools and districts. It uses Big 5 behavior data to identify trends, support MTSS practices and plan proactive interventions. Districts can configure logging fields and definitions for their reporting requirements. Visualizations show Big 5 trends and major or minor incident rates, while teams can chart Check-in / Check-out progress and review intervention fidelity. The product supports PBIS and MTSS, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions such as CICO, with incident tracking and intervention plans. Used with Panorama Student Success, behavior data can appear alongside attendance, academic and intervention information. Named SIS integrations include PowerSchool, Infinite Campus and Skyward; behavior integrations include Educator’s Handbook and SWIS Suite. Panorama Playbook adds a library of 1,000+ evidence-based, ESSA-aligned interventions, de-escalation strategies and restorative practices. Security listings include SOC 2 Type 2, 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification and ESSA Level II validation. Pricing depends on district size and selected products and is available on request.
