Centralized management of all mobile devices and apps for smooth, interactive lessons Relution Teacher supports teachers in delivering chaos-free lessons with tablets. Lesson-specific profiles can be created and pre-configured to be used directly in the classroom. With just a few clicks, settings are applied to student devices: apps and web links relevant to the lesson appear automatically, and features that are not needed are disabled. Outside of class, all device functions and apps are available again. In ad-hoc mode, students from different classes can be grouped together to allow teachers to be flexible in their daily work. Admin mode helps teachers manage the entire school organization. This allows administrator(s), even independently of the teacher, to terminate a foreign class at any time.

The installation of the app on the device should be done in coordination with the respective IT administrator(s) of the organization.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Relution Teacher at none against NiblyNotes's 3. Relution Teacher also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). NiblyNotes's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
