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.

I am able to go to Clever and log into several of the most used websites that I use for my classes on a regular basis. It makes everything very handy. I would definitely recommend using Clever for teachers who want everything in one place. It’s a great tool for teachers. Incentivized Sherby Gully Teacher 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	Clever Inc. It could use more ways to be able to log in besides just Clever and Google. I wish I could show my students what they see on my board and not mine. Could use more ways to add content. Incentivized Sherby Gully Teacher 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	Clever Inc. Clever isn't a student platform or management system, but more an interface to launch into other programs and applications Incentivized Lisa Marie Gonzales, Ed.D.

Return on Investment	brightwheel Value add for parents Saves paper Benefits for teachers who fully utilize Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	Clever Inc. I don't have to struggle to find the websites that I need. My students know exactly where to go when it’s time to take a test. My teammates can access sites that I add, and vice versa.
