ClassDojo

  • ClassDojo Plus is sold to families rather than to schools, so parents pay for the premium tier

  • No pricing is published for the school leader or district offerings

Zoom Webinar

  • Free tier capped at 40 minutes per meeting with up to 100 participants
  • Free tier lacks cloud storage and advanced AI Companion features
  • Higher tiers require commitments to larger participant counts (Business: 300, Enterprise: 1000)
