Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use AttendanceSheeter for classroom attendance?

Yes! The Free tier is optimized for temporary events with 24-hour data retention. For longer-term use, Sheeter+ (free with account) retains data for 30 days, and Sheeter Pro ($7.99/mo) offers unlimited retention with recurring templates -- great for weekly classes. For grading integration and parent messaging, MyAttendanceTracker would be more suitable.

Why doesn't MyAttendanceTracker have QR codes?

MyAttendanceTracker uses traditional barcode scanning for badge systems, which is common in schools. AttendanceSheeter's encrypted QR codes are more modern and secure, perfect for contactless check-ins at professional events.

Which is better for professional conferences?

AttendanceSheeter is significantly better for professional events with its modern design, QR codes, digital signatures, logo branding, and professional PDF exports. MyAttendanceTracker is primarily designed for educational settings.

Can MyAttendanceTracker collect digital signatures?

No, MyAttendanceTracker doesn't support digital signatures. If you need signature collection for verification or legal compliance, AttendanceSheeter offers configurable signature options with PDF export capabilities.

Which has better mobile support?

AttendanceSheeter is built mobile-first with responsive design that works perfectly on all devices without app installation. MyAttendanceTracker is desktop-focused and may not provide optimal mobile experience.

What about data privacy and GDPR?

AttendanceSheeter's Free tier uses 24-hour automatic deletion and client-side encryption. Sheeter+ and Pro use server-side AES-GCM at-rest encryption with per-user keys. All tiers are privacy-first and GDPR-friendly. MyAttendanceTracker stores data long-term for educational records, which requires different privacy management approaches.

What does Sheeter Pro offer that MyAttendanceTracker doesn't?

Sheeter Pro ($7.99/mo) includes recurring templates for scheduled classes, attendance insights with late tracking and peak-hour analytics, HMAC-signed webhooks for real-time integrations, a full REST API, an attendee directory with contact cards, CSV import, 10 custom fields, and no-watermark exports. MyAttendanceTracker focuses on classroom features like grading and parent messaging.
