Transparency alternatives to Skyward
Other School management vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Skyward. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 57 that differ from Skyward on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Skyward has 9 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Skyward” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
