What is the difference between Nuet and Sense?

The biggest difference is how they capture emails. Nuet monitors your inbox automatically — connect once and events are found without you doing anything. Sense requires you to forward emails to a Sense email address (or set up auto-forwarding rules). Nuet also monitors WhatsApp groups as a linked device, while Sense requires manual WhatsApp message forwarding. Sense supports iOS, Android, and web. Nuet is iOS only.

Is Nuet a good alternative to Sense?

For iPhone users who want zero-effort school event capture, yes. Nuet monitors your inbox automatically (no forwarding needed), monitors WhatsApp groups as a linked device, and sends proactive reminders days in advance. Sense offers a broader feature set (chores, lists, recipes) and works on Android and web. Choose based on whether you want automatic capture or a broader family hub.

How much does Nuet cost compared to Sense?

Nuet costs £6.99 per month or £69.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. Sense has a free tier (email forwarding works on free), then £6.99 per month or £59.99 per year for premium features. Monthly pricing is identical. Sense is £10 cheaper annually and has a free option.

Does Nuet work with ParentMail like Sense does?

Yes. Both Nuet and Sense recognise ParentMail emails and extract school event dates from them. Sense also supports MCAS and ClassDojo. Nuet also handles Arbor notifications and School Gateway. The difference is Nuet finds them automatically in your inbox while Sense needs you to forward them.

Why parents choose Nuet over Sense

Both apps capture school events. The difference is how.

No forwarding required — ever

Sense only works if you forward each school email to share@getsense.ai (or set up auto-forwarding rules in your email settings). With Nuet, connect your inbox once and events are picked up for you the moment they arrive. You can also forward emails to Nuet if you prefer, but you never have to.

WhatsApp groups, automatically

Nuet connects as a linked device and monitors the parent WhatsApp groups you choose. Sense requires you to forward each WhatsApp message manually.

Reminders when you can still act

Notified days before an event — enough time to buy the costume, sign the form, or RSVP. Proactive reminders that help you prepare, not just remember.

CASA2 privacy certification

Your emails are processed for dates, then discarded — never stored on our servers. Independently verified by CASA2.

Where Sense wins

Sense includes chores, rewards, shared lists, and recipes — a broader family hub. It also supports iOS, Android, and web, and has a free tier. If you want an all-in-one organiser that works on any device, Sense covers more ground.
