Where Class Companion is the better choice
- Free for teachers with no monthly cap of the kind we impose.
- A large public library of shared assignments and rubrics from other teachers.
- A built-in student-facing tutor alongside the feedback.
Where we are the better choice
- Weaker on multi-step math, diagrams, and handwritten work, the exact case we are built around.
- Feedback is returned separately rather than marked on the student’s own page.
- Per-question longitudinal analytics by student, class, and assignment are our core, not theirs.
The short answer
For typed written responses across subjects at no cost, Class Companion is hard to argue with. The moment the work is handwritten or the math runs several steps, that is the gap we exist to fill.
What we are actually built for
Handwritten, multi-step work that has to be read rather than pattern-matched: a page of worked algebra, a lab write-up, a paragraph response, marked directly on the student’s own page, with the per-question record kept by student, class, and assignment.
The grader works each problem out itself rather than matching an answer key, so it needs no key and accepts any equivalent form. Anything it cannot read clearly is flagged for you to confirm rather than guessed, and you can override any result. See how it works.
