Common Planner vs Homeroomie

Common Planner is a web-based collaborative lesson planner for teachers, schools, and districts. Teachers can create lesson and unit plans, organize classes, and reuse planbooks and lessons across school years. They can search for standards, attach them to units, and track which standards have been taught. Shared planbooks support co-planning, sharing plans with administrators, and borrowing plans from other teachers. School leaders can review planning status, standards coverage, and pacing, then comment on lesson plans. The school product page describes AI-assisted insights for identifying missing standards, pacing issues, or instructional gaps. Basic for Teachers includes an AI-powered lesson assistant, daily, weekly, and monthly planning, up to 50 Google Classroom posts, and file uploads from a computer or supported storage services. Pro includes unlimited Classroom posts, unit planning, automatic standards tracking, and up to five collaborators. The Basic plan is free forever; Pro is listed at $5.59 a month, with a one-payment amount of 71.88 USD. The Schools plan includes school-wide templates, membership management, staff training, and ongoing support. There is no app, but the service works through a browser on tablets and smartphones.

Homeroomie is a web-based tool for generating classroom lesson plans and matching student worksheets, aimed at early elementary through middle school in ELA, math, science, and social studies. Teachers can select a state, grade, and subject to align lessons with Common Core or supported state standards. Generated plans include objectives, timed activities, materials, assessment ideas, and differentiation strategies. Worksheet activities cover reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and creative drawing, with answer keys. Teachers can add a children's book or choose a theme, then adjust activities, pacing, and objectives. Pro adds a planner for one-to-four-week units and a generator for half-day or full-day substitute packets. Plans and worksheets can be downloaded as PDFs. The Free plan costs nothing and includes three lesson plans per month and three worksheets per lesson. Pro costs $9 a month, with the first month free; it adds unlimited lesson plans, all eight worksheet themes and fonts, the unit planner, and the sub plan generator.
