AI Grader Pro vs GradeBoard

AI Grader Pro provides AI-assisted grading workflows for mathematics and other STEM subjects. Educators can create, refine, and apply rubrics, then review step-wise scores that account for partial credit and student solutions. The software processes question sheets and student answers in batches, and can export reports, summaries, and class-level outputs. Its local-first design is described as minimizing data leaving the user’s environment, but it can also send data to third-party AI services chosen by the user; those providers’ own terms and privacy policies govern processing. The product warns that AI-generated grading, feedback, and analytics may contain errors, leaving educators responsible for checking outputs and decisions. It runs on macOS and Windows. Recommended requirements are macOS 13 or later, or Windows 10/11 x64, with at least 8 GB RAM and 1 GB disk space. Full LaTeX output requires a LaTeX distribution. The Personal plan costs $120 a year and includes email support. The Team plan costs $299 a year, lists multi-user deployment and priority support, and is marked available in Q3 2026.

GradeBoard is a web-based grading platform for educators that uses AI to provide feedback aligned with rubric outcomes. It accepts PDF, DOCX, TXT, and image uploads, and OCR extracts text from images. Its analysis compares learner work semantically with rubrics and generates inline comments, summative feedback, and annotations that can be edited before export. Batch processing is listed for 50 or more submissions at once. Analytics track performance trends, time savings, and student progress distribution. Free costs nothing and includes 10 learner submissions, a standard AI model, limited rubric uploads, annotated DOCX downloads, basic analytics, 30-day data retention, and email support. Pro costs £24.99 a month for 200 submissions, a priority AI model, batch grading, advanced developmental feedback, OCR, and six-month retention. Enterprise is listed from £250 a month, billed From, and includes unlimited submissions, SSO, team management, custom API/LMS integration, 12-month retention, and a dedicated success manager. Paid plans list annotated DOCX and batch feedback ZIP downloads. The registration page says GradeBoard complies with GDPR and other data protection regulations.
