The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GoStudent per-lesson pricing decreases with volume commitment, potentially locking users into higher monthly spend; Securly pricing stacks by module and only Filter has rates that surface publicly, so the quoted total for Filter plus Aware plus On-Call is routinely several times the number a district budgeted from the filtering line alone.

Where each one falls short

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

GoStudent

  • Per-lesson pricing decreases with volume commitment, potentially locking users into higher monthly spend
  • Optional GoStudent Learning add-on costs 14.90 EUR/month after free trial
  • Pricing structure encourages longer-term commitments

Securly

  • Pricing stacks by module and only Filter has rates that surface publicly, so the quoted total for Filter plus Aware plus On-Call is routinely several times the number a district budgeted from the filtering line alone.
  • The safety scanning generates false positives at volume, including song lyrics, creative writing and health-class assignments, and each one consumes counsellor or administrator time that the vendor does not pay for.
  • Alerting on student writing is a surveillance decision with real community consequences, and districts that deploy it without an explicit board policy and parent notification have faced local objections after the fact.
  • Coverage is strongest on managed Chromebooks; personal devices, non-Chrome browsers and encrypted apps outside the agent leave gaps that the compliance story quietly depends on nobody testing.
  • Per-student pricing is charged on enrolment rather than on devices, so a district that issues devices to only some year groups still pays for every student on the roll.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

GoStudent: What is GoStudent's pricing model?

GoStudent offers usage-based pricing starting at 15.90 EUR per 50-minute lesson. Pricing per unit decreases with higher volume commitments.

Source
Securly: Does Securly publish pricing?

Not on its own site. Tiered per-student rates for Filter appear in some US purchasing co-operative catalogues, falling as enrolment rises, but Aware, On-Call, Classroom, MDM and Pass are quoted.

GoStudent: How much do common lesson packages cost?

A 4-lesson monthly plan costs 36.01 EUR per unit, while a 12-lesson plan reduces this to 20.00 EUR per unit. Total monthly cost depends on your selected package.

Source
Securly: What is the difference between Aware and On-Call?

Aware is the automated detection that produces alerts. On-Call is the staffed service that reads the serious ones out of hours and phones your escalation contacts. Buying Aware alone leaves the triage with your own staff.

GoStudent: What is included in GoStudent memberships?

All membership levels include full access to GoStudent Learning with AI-powered interactive tools, unlimited access to the learning manager, 7-day-a-week support, and access to lesson notes and study materials.

Source
Securly: Does it filter on home internet?

Yes, filtering follows the managed device rather than the network, which is the point for take-home Chromebook programmes.

GoStudent: Does GoStudent Learning cost extra?

Yes, premium GoStudent Learning with AI quizzes and advanced materials costs 14.90 EUR per month after a free trial month.

Source
Securly: Is student data used for anything else?

Securly signs the US Student Privacy Pledge and district data processing agreements; check the specific DPA rather than the marketing page, since scanning scope and retention are negotiated terms.
