What it is
Alumnly is an alumni engagement platform for schools and educational institutions, available on web, Android, and iOS. Its 18 modules include a directory, events, fundraising, newsletters, jobs, chat groups, mentoring, and analytics. The directory supports profiles that sync themselves, private messaging, following, and paid membership. Schools can manage physical or virtual events and take payments through Stripe; Alumnly says those payments go directly to the school’s Stripe account without a transaction commission. The platform includes native iOS and Android apps with every plan. AI moderates chat content for administrator review and analyzes engagement patterns to offer recommendations and a School Engagement Score. Pricing starts at $199/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Paid subscriptions use 12-month terms unless otherwise agreed, while the pricing page advertises cancellation at any time and no multi-year contract. Alumnly says schools own and can export their data, which is encrypted in transit and at rest. It also describes enforced multi-factor authentication for administrators and continuous activity monitoring.
