Schools and districts pay for the service, and app developers can join Clever’s App Gallery to reach students via a common entry point. The product works by linking a school’s systems so students, teachers, and administrators can sign in once and access all approved learning tools without multiple usernames. Clever’s advantage comes from its large network and proven adoption—more than 60% of U.S. schools, including 95 of the largest districts, use it, which helps app partners reach millions of students efficiently. The company aims to make digital learning easier and safer for millions of students by simplifying access to apps and improving security and administration for schools.
