Where Vero is positioned differently
The choice is less about whether either product can create a pass and more about workflow, local fit, data handling and commercial clarity.
Australian operational fit
Vero publishes AUD pricing and offers automatic student, class and timetable syncing through Wonde on the Connected plan. Schools should verify the exact SIS and data scope for either supplier.
Clear data-language
Both products describe pass visibility rather than physical location tracking. Vero also publishes its Sydney primary application data region and its supporting-provider country schedule.
Teacher-created workflow
Securly Pass supports student requests, adult approvals, proxy passes and auto-pass options. Vero uses a deliberately narrower model: the teacher creates each pass in two taps.
Two valid pass workflows
Choose the model that best matches how your classrooms already operate.
Securly Pass
Request-and-approve options
- Student requests a pass on a device or kiosk
- An adult approves it, unless an authorised auto-pass rule applies
- Staff see the active pass and recorded destination
Vero
Teacher creates the pass
- Student asks to leave in the normal classroom conversation
- Teacher taps the student and destination
- The active pass appears in the authorised staff view

Connected through Wonde
Vero Connected automatically syncs student, class and timetable data through Wonde after one-time, read-only school approval. Vero Core uses manual student-data management. Confirm exact source-system compatibility before purchase.
- Automatic syncing is a Connected-plan feature
- The school controls Wonde approval
- Core remains available for manual data management
Questions to verify with every vendor
Ownership alone does not determine product quality. Ask the same practical questions of every supplier before making a decision.
Change management
Ask how material product, ownership or subprocessor changes are communicated and what options the school has if the service changes.
Local operational fit
Verify SIS compatibility, support hours, implementation requirements and whether the workflow matches your school's policies and devices.
Privacy and data handling
Review the current contract, privacy notice, hosting locations, subprocessors, access controls and retention terms against your school's requirements.

eHallpass comparison questions
Is eHallpass now Securly Pass?
Securly now markets its current digital hall pass product as Securly Pass. Its earlier eHallpass materials and Securly's acquisition announcement connect the former eHallpass product with the current Securly offering. Schools should evaluate the current Securly Pass product, contract and privacy notice.
Is there an Australian alternative to eHallpass?
Yes. Vero is an Australian-owned out-of-class pass system with teacher-created passes, a Sydney primary application data region, public AUD pricing and optional automatic SIS syncing through Wonde.
How is Vero different from eHallpass or Securly Pass?
The clearest workflow difference is pass creation. Securly Pass supports student requests that adults approve, plus proxy and auto-pass options. Vero keeps the normal student-teacher conversation and has the teacher create the pass. Vero also includes its uniform, confiscation and Values in Action modules in both published plans.
Does either system track a student's physical location?
No. Securly says Pass does not use GPS and records pass information such as destination, time and approval. Vero also does not use GPS; it records teacher-created passes, selected destinations and times.
How much does Vero cost compared with eHallpass?
Vero publishes AUD pricing: Core is $3 and Connected is $4 per enrolled student per year, excluding GST. Securly directs buyers to request a demo or quote, so schools should compare a current written quote and confirm exactly what is included.
