A very broad teacher toolkit covering lesson planning, differentiation, communication, and dozens of other tools, with grading as one feature among many.
What MagicSchool AI costs

Where MagicSchool AI is the better choice
- Enormously wider surface area. If you want one subscription covering lesson planning, communication, and differentiation, grading alone will not justify a second tool.
- A well-known brand inside schools, with district relationships already in place.
- A free tier covering a lot of ground.
Where we are the better choice
- Grading is assisted feedback piece by piece rather than a class set graded in one pass.
- No marks on the student’s own page.
- No class roster and per-question analytics built around grading as the primary job.
- Not built for handwritten multi-step work photographed off paper.
The short answer
These are not really the same product. MagicSchool is a toolkit; we are a grader. Teachers commonly run both: use it for planning, use us for the stack of paper.
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.
Test it against your own papers
Run three or four real papers through and check the marks yourself. Free, no card.
