Clever vs. Procare vs. ProFile Planner

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.

It's good for monitoring and communication, but is very clunky when it comes to billing. It's nice that all messages for a student come up in the same conversation, but it would be nice if I could send message to only Administration or only room staff and also receive notification that my message has been read.

Clever isn't a student platform or management system, but more an interface to launch into other programs and applications

We have used Sandbox, which was bought out by Procare and will become obsolete. The program had many good features, but in most ways we find that Procare has surpassed Sandbox. The interface as a staff person is very user-friendly, messages are more easily sent to parents, and parents have found this simple to navigate as well
