The short version

  • Only 360Learning has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 360Learning the published Team plan at $8 per user per month covers up to 100 users; beyond that pricing is custom; Hapara the product is a Google Workspace companion, so a district that moves to Microsoft 365 or runs mixed platforms loses most of the value it paid for.
  • They diverge on capability: 360Learning covers Collaborative authoring, Hapara covers Highlights.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

360Learning

  • The published Team plan at $8 per user per month covers up to 100 users; beyond that pricing is custom
  • Business and Enterprise pricing is not published
  • Priority SLA, dedicated technical support and premium onboarding are Enterprise only
  • Business and Enterprise plans are typically annual contracts rather than monthly

Hapara

  • The product is a Google Workspace companion, so a district that moves to Microsoft 365 or runs mixed platforms loses most of the value it paid for.
  • Live tab monitoring is a surveillance capability with no technical boundary at the school gate, and unless the district configures and publishes a monitoring window, take home devices are watched at home by default expectations rather than by explicit policy.
  • It layers on top of district filtering rather than replacing it, so schools still pay for a separate filtering and safeguarding product and manage two sets of rules.
  • Value depends entirely on teachers using it in the moment. Schools that buy it without sustained classroom coaching see licences renewed on the basis of installed count rather than actual use.
  • Pupil awareness of monitoring changes behaviour in ways the analytics do not show, and older pupils move activity to personal phones, which produces a dashboard that looks compliant and is not.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

360Learning: Does 360Learning offer a free trial before committing to a paid plan?

Yes, a 30-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Customers can easily upgrade to a paid plan or add more users at any time without disrupting their setup.

Source
Hapara: Does Hapara monitor pupils at home?

It can, on school managed devices, if the district configures it that way. Districts should define and publish a monitoring window, because the product does not impose one.

360Learning: Can I scale up my user count on the Team plan, or do I need to upgrade to Business?

The Team plan accommodates up to 100 users with no minimum user requirement. You pay only for active users on the platform. To exceed 100 users, you would need to contact sales for a Business or Enterprise plan with custom pricing.

Source
Hapara: Is it FERPA and COPPA aligned?

Yes. Hapara contracts as a school official under FERPA, relies on district consent for COPPA, and is a Student Privacy Pledge signatory. That does not decide how widely a district should configure monitoring.

360Learning: What billing flexibility does 360Learning offer for larger organizations?

Business and Enterprise plans use flexible user models that combine both registered and monthly active users. Annual contracts are generally offered for these tiers, with no hidden setup fees.

Source
Hapara: Do we still need a web filter?

Yes. Hapara adds class and lesson level control on top of district filtering. It is not a replacement for a filtering and safeguarding platform.
