What ePraise does well
ePraise covers a lot of ground – praise points, badges, leaderboards, certificates and a rewards shop sit alongside homework tracking, parents’ evening booking, demerits, interventions, seating plans, wellbeing check-ins, clubs and activities, a messenger, attendance, and integrations with SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, iSAMS and Veracross. That breadth has earned it a long track record in UK schools.
Where schools look for something different
That breadth comes at a cost: more to configure, more for staff to learn, and an interface that reflects an earlier generation of school software design. Wellbeing is present (check-ins, class passes) but sits as one module among many rather than a core design pillar the way behaviour recognition is. And like most of the platforms on this list, ePraise doesn’t publish pricing – its modular structure means the total cost depends on which features a school selects, which makes early budgeting harder than a flat per-student rate.
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 rather than being migrated by hand.

Frequently asked questions
Is ePraise free?
No. ePraise doesn't publish pricing – its features are grouped into modules a school selects, and pricing is quoted directly. Ten Points publishes per-student pricing from $4.99/student/year on our pricing page, so the cost is visible before you talk to anyone.
Does ePraise include wellbeing tools?
Yes – ePraise includes regular check-ins and class passes to track student movement, alongside its behaviour, homework and parents' evening features. In Ten Points, wellbeing (journals, check-ins, mood insights) sits alongside behaviour as a core part of the platform rather than one module among several.
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 handle parents' evening booking like ePraise?
Not currently – parents' evening booking is a genuine strength of ePraise's broader feature set. Ten Points focuses on behaviour, wellbeing, insights and family updates through Family Connect and live displays, rather than event booking.
Can we switch from ePraise to Ten Points mid-year?
Yes. Onboarding is handled end to end, and schools often start with a single phase or year group rather than switching everything at once. Wonde integration means student and staff data can sync automatically from your MIS.
