Said about Acadly as an alternative
ManishJha96 Free and one of the best app for student engagement and automatic attendance.
ManishJha96 Acadly is a good alternative to all the ed-tech apps used for class engagement as it is free and its revolutionary mesh network-based attendance system captures attendance in seconds even for a class of 400+ students.
The communication features and higher-ed focused functionalities like LaTeX compatibility made Acadly a much better platform for my class.

...in an educational environment, I actually appreciate this kind of service very much. I'm currently waiting for my approval, one day won't hurt me that much. After all their service is free and offers a lot.
