See comparison →Frequently asked questions
Does BeeNet replace our grade or timetable system?
No, and that is deliberate. BeeNet is a communication platform, not a school information system. Schools running Pronote, ÉcoleDirecte or a national system such as Noor keep them and use BeeNet for the parent-facing layer those systems handle weakly: messaging, absence notices, document sharing and reaching families who never open the portal.
Which comparison should I read first?
Read the comparison for the tool you use today. If parents are currently reached through WhatsApp groups rather than a dedicated app, start with the ClassDojo or Klassly comparison — both cover the same move from consumer chat to a record the school owns.
Is BeeNet GDPR-compliant for schools in the European Union?
Yes. BeeNet is operated by a French company, offers a data processing agreement and stores data in the EU. Several comparisons on this page cover data residency explicitly, because it is the point where US-built apps most often fail a European procurement review.
Does BeeNet work in French and Arabic?
Yes. The interface, notifications and parent-facing content are available in French, English and Arabic, including right-to-left layout. This is the most common reason schools in Morocco, Tunisia and the Gulf rule out English-only products.
