How much does Evidence Me cost?

In the UK the price depends on the number of child profiles: £79 plus VAT for under 20 pupils, £179 for 20 to 34, £285 for 35 to 64, £385 for 65 to 129, £485 for 130 to 249 and £589 for 250 or more. 2Simple discounts 3- and 5-year licences. Prices checked on 15 October 2026.

Is there a free trial of Evidence Me?

Yes. Schools and settings can sign up for a 14-day free trial on the 2Simple Evidence Me page. The app itself is free to download but needs an Evidence Me account.

Is Evidence Me the same as 2Build a Profile?

Evidence Me replaced 2Build a Profile. 2Simple calls Evidence Me formerly known as 2Build a Profile, and the old 2Build a Profile support site recommends a free upgrade to Evidence Me.

How is Evidence Me related to Purple Mash?

Both come from 2Simple in London. Purple Mash is a learning platform for primary pupils, and Mini Mash is its Early Years version. Evidence Me records what children learn and shares it with parents. Schools can buy Mini Mash and Evidence Me as a bundle.

About Evidence Me

Evidence Me is an observation and assessment app for early years settings and schools, sold by 2Simple, the London company behind Purple Mash. Staff capture photos, videos and notes in the app, tag them to framework objectives and make assessments for each child. Parents see shared observations in the same app through Parent Share, add their own and message the teacher in Chat. Schools pay by the number of child profiles, from £79 plus VAT for under 20 pupils to £589 plus VAT for 250 or more, and 2Simple offers a 14-day free trial. Evidence Me replaced 2Simple’s earlier 2Build a Profile app, and the current app reached the App Store in June 2019.

Evidence Me comes from 2Simple, a London edtech company that former primary teacher Nigel Canin started in 1999. After Purple Mash went online in 2010, 2Simple added Mini Mash, Serial Mash and an early years tracking app called 2Build a Profile. 2Simple’s 25-year history calls 2019 the year of the Evidence Me regeneration. The 2Simple help centre describes Evidence Me as formerly called 2Build-a-Profile. The iOS and Android apps are published by 2 Eskimos Ltd, a software company in Delph, Saddleworth, which lists Evidence Me among its products.

Practitioners take a photo, video or written note in the app and add up to 10 photos or videos to one observation. The app suggests objectives and learners from the notes, and the iOS app can blur faces. Observations upload to the Web Suite at evidence.me, where staff run reports such as Framework Coverage, Teach Next, Coverage Tracker and the Early Learning Goals report. Evidence Me supports Development Matters, Birth to 5 Matters, the 2021 EYFS statutory framework and the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum. SEND schools can add custom frameworks, Leuven or PMLD scales.

Parent Share sends chosen observations to parents, who view them in the same app and add their own. Teachers can review observations before release or share them at once. Chat, Family News and Family’s Here handle messages, notices and pick-up alerts. The subscription price depends on the number of child profiles, and every tier includes all standard frameworks and unlimited devices. 2Simple discounts 3- and 5-year licences, and its quote form offers a Mini Mash and Evidence Me bundle.

Evidence Me FAQ

Evidence Me is an observation and assessment app for early years settings and schools from 2Simple, the maker of Purple Mash. Staff record photos, videos and notes, tag them to frameworks such as Development Matters and Birth to 5 Matters, and make assessments. Parents see shared observations through Parent Share.

Staff log in to the Web Suite at www.evidence.me/login with their email and password, or open the Evidence Me by 2Simple app on iOS or Android and enter the same details. An admin creates each staff account, and the welcome email to set a password is valid for 30 days. The first app login can take several minutes while data downloads.

The school or nursery first links the parent’s email address to the child. The parent then gets a Parent Share invitation from noreply@evidence.me and activates the account through its link. After that the parent logs in with email and password in the Evidence Me by 2Simple app or at evidence.me. If the invitation does not arrive, check the spam folder and then ask the setting to resend it.

Go to evidence.me, click Forgot Password and enter your email address. Evidence Me sends a link to reset the password. Parents whose email is not linked yet need to contact the school.
