FillMyClass review
A mobile-first way for schools to request, notify and track substitute coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FillMyClass coordinates substitute coverage using a school’s own substitute pool. Teachers or administrators submit requests with class details, notes and lesson plans; substitutes receive alerts and can accept assignments in the mobile app. The web dashboard shows absences, filled assignments and open coverage. With native iOS and Android apps alongside web access, it suits schools that want staff and substitutes to handle coverage requests across mobile and desktop. Its focus is school-based matching and visibility rather than a broader set of verified administrative integrations.
The workflow gives schools control over who hears about an opening first: preferred substitutes can receive a notification window before a request reaches the wider qualified pool. Alerts can go by push notification, email or SMS. Substitutes can match availability and days off, then accept jobs in the app, while sub plans and notes stay attached to the request. Administrators can monitor coverage live, and multi-school organizations have role-based access for administrators, teachers and substitutes. Email or join-code invitations support bringing participants into the system.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, Small School costs $1,500 per year for one campus and up to 40 teacher/admin users; substitute accounts are included free. Medium School costs $2,500 per year for one campus and up to 75 teacher/admin users, also with substitute accounts included free. Large / Multi-Site covers 75+ users and multiple campuses or networks at custom pricing. There is no free plan or trial, though the vendor states a 90-day fit guarantee with subscription refunds if the school decides it is not a fit. FillMyClass is a fit for schools prioritizing mobile acceptance and a shared coverage dashboard; schools needing established integrations or payroll export should compare alternatives.
