Lightspeed Systems plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightspeed Filter | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
| Lightspeed Alert | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Lightspeed Classroom, Insight, Signal, MDM, StopIt and Hall Monitor | On request | 2 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Lightspeed Systems in for a district with 15,000 take-home chromebooks that needs filtering to follow the device onto home and public networks, a technology director being asked to justify the edtech budget, who can use app usage data to cancel licences nobody opens, a school board that has agreed to safety monitoring but has no staff able to respond to alerts at night, and so buys the human review service, a one-to-one ipad rollout wanting device enrolment, filtering and teacher screen control from one vendor. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Lightspeed Systems are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Education
Too few education tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Before you pay for Lightspeed Systems
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Lightspeed Systems against the tools that do have one before committing.
Lightspeed Systems runs on web, ios, android, chrome os, windows, macos, and is published by Lightspeed Systems of Austin, Texas, United States. The full record is on the Lightspeed Systems review, and the rest of the category is under best education tools.
