The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Jackrabbit Class billing counts every student record in the account, active and inactive, so studios that never archive leavers pay for a larger tier than their real enrolment and only discover it when someone audits the database.; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: Jackrabbit Class covers Class scheduling, Securly covers Filter.
  • 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.

Jackrabbit Class

  • Billing counts every student record in the account, active and inactive, so studios that never archive leavers pay for a larger tier than their real enrolment and only discover it when someone audits the database.
  • Payment processing through Jackrabbit Pay is charged on top of the subscription and typically exceeds it in absolute terms, so the published tier price understates the real monthly cost considerably.
  • Marketing capability is minimal: there is no meaningful lead capture, nurture or campaign tooling, so studios run a separate marketing stack and reconcile enrolments manually.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and part-time front desk staff need more training than the price point suggests, which is a recurring cost in a sector with high staff turnover.
  • Feature parity between the web application and the mobile apps is incomplete, so administrators end up back at a desktop for anything beyond attendance and rosters.

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

Jackrabbit Class: How is the student count calculated?

On the total number of students in your account at month end, including inactive ones. Archive former students before the billing date or you will pay a higher tier than your enrolment warrants.

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.

Jackrabbit Class: What does payment processing cost?

It is charged separately from the subscription through Jackrabbit Pay and is quoted rather than published. For most studios it is the larger cost, so get the rate in writing.

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.

Jackrabbit Class: Is there a per-user charge?

No. Staff users are unlimited on every tier, which suits studios with many part-time instructors.

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.

Jackrabbit Class: Does it handle multiple locations?

Yes, with location-level scheduling and reporting, though very large multi-site operators find the reporting shallower than a purpose-built enterprise system.

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.
