Both ClassTag and Bloomz offer efficient ways to communicate with parents. However, ClassTag not only transforms how you connect with parents but also brings you free supplies for your classroom. Best of all, ClassTag is entirely free with all of its functionality, while Bloomz is charging teachers for a number of special features upfront.

Many teachers are spending $100’s, maybe $1000’s of out-of-pocket, just on classroom supplies. With ClassTag, you can finally get your students what they need and keep your salary.
