CollaboratED vs IEP Pilot

CollaboratED is a collaborative platform for K-12 teams coordinating IEP, 504, MTSS and gifted-and-talented plans. For IEPs, it supports goal creation, scaffolding and compliance for standards-aligned plans. MTSS features cover progress monitoring and tiered interventions, while 504 tools support documentation and coordination. Teams can also use it to personalize gifted services and document progress. Listed capabilities include search and filtering, translations, goal comments, learning-plan editing, accommodations tracking, e-signatures, analytics, reports and service tracking. The pricing comparison also includes Eddy, an AI special-education expert, and AI tools for IEP and evaluation writing. The platform lists SIS/LMS interoperability and EdTech API integrations. Starter is free and includes hosting learning plans, an AI SPED expert, SIS/LMS interoperability, plan creation and editing, professional development and Medicaid billing services. Paid per-student plans include Implementation at a price agreed with the maker and Compliance at a price agreed with the maker. The privacy policy says the service may collect education plans and records, school identifiers, student photos or videos, and medical history.

IEP Pilot is web-based AI software for special education providers creating individualized SMART IEP goals and present-level summaries. Providers can upload assessment reports or answer guided questions and enter baseline data. The service processes psychoeducational, speech-language, occupational-therapy, behavior, previous-IEP, and related eligibility documents; one upload can yield goals across relevant IEP domains with domain-specific baselines, criteria, and measurement methods. It also recommends FAPE services aligned with generated goals. Providers should review the output before using it: IEP Pilot does not determine eligibility or replace the IEP team. A district workspace covers intake, eligibility, IEP development, service delivery, progress monitoring, compliance, state reporting, and Medicaid billing, with SIS and state integrations. Uploaded PDFs are transmitted over an encrypted connection and not retained after analysis. Submitted content is not used to train AI models or sold, shared, or licensed to third parties. The maker says formal security and privacy certifications are still being pursued. The service is web-only, with listed one-time charges from $2.
