The short version

  • Only ClassDojo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ClassDojo the AI homework helper, the 2,000 plus digital book library, detailed progress reports, memory albums and calendar sync are all restricted to the paid ClassDojo Plus subscription; Tovuti LMS the bundled authoring saving only exists if you do not already own an authoring suite, and organisations that do are paying a premium for a capability their designers will not adopt.
  • They diverge on capability: ClassDojo covers Behavior tracking, Tovuti LMS covers Built-in interactive authoring.
  • 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.

ClassDojo

  • The AI homework helper, the 2,000 plus digital book library, detailed progress reports, memory albums and calendar sync are all restricted to the paid ClassDojo Plus subscription
  • ClassDojo Plus is sold to families rather than to schools, so parents pay for the premium tier
  • The Plus page publishes no monthly or yearly price, only a 7 day free trial
  • No pricing is published for the school leader or district offerings

Tovuti LMS

  • The bundled authoring saving only exists if you do not already own an authoring suite, and organisations that do are paying a premium for a capability their designers will not adopt.
  • The built in editor is convenient rather than equal to a dedicated authoring tool, so complex simulations and software training content still need an external product.
  • Reporting is serviceable for completion and certification and shallow for skills analytics, so data heavy learning teams add a separate analytics layer.
  • Permissions and hierarchy modelling are lighter than enterprise competitors, which shows up in organisations with many semi autonomous business units.
  • Support and professional services capacity is smaller than at the large vendors, so complex implementations depend more on the customer having a capable internal owner.
