Considered Both Products	brightwheel No answer on this topic	ClassDojo Verified User Administrator Chose ClassDojo The cost was a big impact in choosing this as there is software as almost all the softwares we have evaluated does the job what is suppose to do particulary well. However, ClassDojo on the other hand allows the parents to use a free version hence there wasn't a financial string … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	brightwheel Any preschool can benefit from brightwheel, no matter the size. Brightwheel is also excellent for billing, which is especially helpful for schools that do not have other databases and billing systems. Because our school is a PS-12, it is a little cumbersome to have brightwheel along with another management system that we use school-wide. It would be nice to have a separate price point that does not include the things that another database system does for schools that are required to use what the older grades also use. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	ClassDojo ClassDojo is a great platform to use in elementary classrooms for encouraging positive behaviors and tracking all kinds of them when they are happening. It rewards students and is easy to use on iPad. It is also great for taking attendance each day. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	brightwheel Offering a price point that does not include billing. Allowing more freedom of uploading own documents. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	ClassDojo Require offline download, hence this can be used in rural areas. When the study materials are published the app just downloads them and keep it ready. Hence when the child does the online learning the bandwidth is saved Inbox needs to be improved with features Needs more pictorial icon for small kids who are in KG etc etc Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	brightwheel Brightwheel does much more for the preschool level than FACTS does. The creators of this app know early childhood. The company also provides helpful webinars that are unrelated to their software, such as staff retention or ways to market. They understand the business of early childhood and exist to make the lives of providers easier. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	ClassDojo Classtag allows teachers to earn points for interacting on their platform. Teachers use points to purchase things in their store. Although this is a nice feature on that platform, you also have a lot of ads that pop up. I like classdojo because your not overwhelmed by ads, its user friendly and most actions can be completed through a few clicks. Incentivized WM Wesley MIller Teacher Read full review
