CrowdGrader vs PeerEvals

CrowdGrader is a web service for students to submit homework and peer-grade classmates’ work while instructors oversee assignments and keep control of final grades. It combines peer assessments into a consensus grade for each submission and removes outliers. A student’s crowd-grade reflects both the grade received and how accurately that student grades other submissions. Students can create reports, math, or code in the built-in editor, or upload files such as ZIP archives. Reviews are anonymous: reviewers do not see authors’ identities, and uploaded files are renamed. Instructors can monitor similarities through clusters and side-by-side submission comparisons. Institutional subscriptions include optional LMS integration, access monitoring, and long-term data retention for auditing. Student work is transmitted over HTTPS; Google authentication uses only the user’s email address for identification. The free instructor-sponsored plan covers up to 20 students per assignment. Other listed options include $2.99 per assignment for up to 35 students, $6.99 for up to 100, and $13.98 for unlimited students.

PeerEvals is a free web-based peer assessment platform for educators running group projects and team-based learning. Instructors can define rubric criteria and organize evaluations into multiple phases, with deadlines and timezone support for each phase. Dashboards and heat maps show progress, while reports and data exports support review of results. CSV imports handle student and group data, and role-based access separates student, teacher, and administrator workflows. The listing identifies rubric scoring and says a paid tier is not required for the core job. Instructor account requests are reviewed by an administrator. Students do not register through that page; instructors add them to the class. PeerEvals does not include AI-assisted evaluation features, so the listed workflow centers on rubrics, phased evaluations, progress tracking, and reporting. It is accessed on the web. These account and workflow details matter when planning how a class will be set up and who will initiate participation.
