What Class Charts does well
Class Charts covers a lot of administrative ground – behaviour tracking, seating plans, homework, attendance, detentions and parent messaging all live under one roof. Its seating plans stand out: rather than a static grid, they can factor in ability and behaviour history to suggest arrangements, which some secondary schools find useful. Schools already using other Tes products get the benefit of one connected ecosystem.
Where schools look for something different
Class Charts is built to track and report behaviour, not to make recognition feel rewarding. Students do get their own login, but it’s a plain, functional view of points and homework – no avatars, badges, rewards shop, or anything that gives recognition a game-like feel for the student on the receiving end. That breadth also makes it a lot to learn – some reviews describe a “confusing hierarchy of screens and menus” and note slower load times at busier moments. Homework management has drawn some criticism too, and there’s no offline access, which matters for schools with patchy connectivity in parts of the building. Pricing isn’t published anywhere on the Class Charts site – every school has to speak to sales to find out what it costs.
Switching & getting started
Moving to Ten Points is handled end to end by our team, and you don’t have to roll it out everywhere at once – plenty of schools start with a single phase or year group and grow from there. Wonde integration is included on every plan, so student, staff and class data can sync automatically from your MIS rather than being re-entered by hand.

Who should choose which
Choose Class Charts if…
- Your school already uses other Tes products and wants one connected ecosystem
- Data-driven seating plans that factor in ability and behaviour history are a top priority
- You need homework, attendance and parents' evening booking in the same platform as behaviour
- You're comfortable with a longer, admin-heavy implementation in exchange for feature breadth
Choose Ten Points if…
- You want recognition to feel motivating and game-like for students, not just an admin record
- You want wellbeing built in from day one, not a module bolted on
- You'd rather see per-student pricing upfront than book a sales call
- You want a lighter tool your staff can learn in minutes, not a training day

Frequently asked questions
Is Class Charts free?
No. Class Charts doesn't publish pricing – schools contact its sales team for a quote. Ten Points publishes per-student pricing from $4.99/student/year on our pricing page, so you can see the cost before you talk to anyone.
Does Class Charts have student accounts?
Yes – Class Charts offers a student login alongside teacher and parent accounts, so pupils can check their own points and homework. It's a functional, administrative view rather than a gamified one, though – there's no mention of avatars, badges, a rewards shop, or other game-like elements. Ten Points builds student-facing recognition (avatars, Houses, live displays) to feel motivating, not just informative.
Does Class Charts work for primary schools?
Class Charts is used across both phases, though its heaviest feature depth – data-driven seating plans, homework tracking, parents' evening booking – leans toward secondary-school workflows. Ten Points is built to scale from Reception to sixth form on the same platform, with wellbeing journals that adapt to a student's key stage.
How much does Ten Points cost?
Ten Points is priced per student, per year: Teacher from $4.99, Classroom from $6.99, and School from $9.99 per student per year (billed annually), with monthly billing also available. Every plan includes Wonde integration.
Does Ten Points include seating plans like Class Charts?
Yes – a drag-and-drop seating planner is included on every Ten Points plan, alongside classroom themes and everyday teaching tools. Class Charts' seating plans go further into ability-and-behaviour-informed auto-arrangement, which is a genuine strength of theirs if that's what your school needs.
Can we switch from Class Charts to Ten Points mid-year?
Yes. Onboarding is handled end to end, and plenty of schools start with a single phase or year group rather than switching everything at once. Wonde integration means your student and staff data can sync automatically rather than being re-entered by hand.
