Remind review
A flexible school messaging platform with a free tier and broad communication channels.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Remind is a school communication platform for teachers, students, families, schools, and non-district organizations. Its free Remind Chat plan supports two-way messaging for classes, groups, and school communities through text, mobile apps, email, and the web. Messages can include attachments, scheduled updates, urgent messages, voice clips, and automatic translation into more than 90 languages. It is available on web, iOS, and Android, making it suitable for schools that need communication across different devices and channels.
The plan structure separates basic classroom communication from broader school administration. Remind Chat includes two-way text messaging, app integrations, and multilingual delivery. Remind Hub adds school- and organization-wide messaging, administrator oversight and controls, communication activity views, engagement statistics, urgent messaging, and higher usage limits. Hub also supports rostering and SIS connections through CSV, OneRoster, ClassLink, Clever, and Aeries. Voice calls are available as an add-on, while voice clips are included among the platform’s communication features. Remind Hub pricing requires contacting sales.
Integration breadth is a central strength for schools working across classroom, productivity, and meeting tools. Connections include Google Classroom, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Canvas, Schoology, Box, SurveyMonkey, Smore, SignUp, and SignUp Genius, along with Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. ClassLink and Clever also support roster connections. Schools should choose Remind when affordable two-way messaging, multilingual communication, mobile access, and SIS connectivity matter. Organizations needing school-wide controls and engagement reporting should consider Remind Hub; those seeking voice calls without an add-on or a publicly stated Hub price may prefer a different option.
