Sentral vs Trigger Education CMS
Both stand on school website builders. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Schools looking to bring student administration, wellbeing and finance functions together should consider Sentral. Its parent and student access options add ways to share notices, attendance details and learning tasks. Schools should review the enquiry-based pricing and the independent-school restriction on demographic management when assessing fit.
