Our COMPETITION

Examining the COMPETITION
Right away after looking at competition, we see that our product stands out from everyone else. By offering an educational service-based app that does not use phone numbers for sending messages, we feel that a number of security and privacy issues can be avoided. Our "Ask it" feature that directly links the guidance counsellor to students is completely unique to the educational app market, and will clearly put us ahead in productivity-based apps market. Another strength of our product is its desktop version, which our competitors do not offer. We are thinking about the students who do not have access to mobile-devices but may have a home-computer or access to the computer lab at school.
