EvalScribe vs EvaluWise

EvalScribe drafts teacher evaluations for school administrators and instructional leaders, mapping observation notes to evaluation standards and suggesting competency levels with evidence citations. Administrators can enter notes by typing, dictation, or scanning handwritten pages; the app can also draft post-conference coaching scripts. EvalScribe says it supports frameworks across every U.S. state and Washington, D.C., including Danielson, Marzano, Stronge, CEL 5D+, NIET, and Kim Marshall. Users can review and edit a draft before finalizing it, then export a PDF or copy the text into their existing system. It does not integrate with SIS or evaluation platforms. The app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no Android or web version listed. Each plan starts with three free evaluations and does not require a card. Paid plans include $14.99 a month for Individual monthly, $100 a year for Individual annual, $90 a year per administrator for a School license, and $80 a year per administrator for a District license. EvalScribe says notes and generated evaluations are stored on the user’s device; notes are sent to Azure for generation and are not stored on EvalScribe’s servers. It also says submitted observation data is not used to train AI models.

EvaluWise is teacher evaluation software for managing formal and informal evaluations, including classroom walkthroughs. It brings scripted observations, form responses, and artifacts together with rubric indicators. Schools can use supported research-based rubrics or create their own, and build forms around local requirements and evaluation criteria. Workflows include checklists, electronic signatures, and summaries of observation and summative data; staff can also complete peer forms to observe colleagues and give feedback. An optional Virtual Assistant proposes rubric alignments and drafts summaries, strengths, and growth areas for review. EvaluWise runs in a browser on Mac, PC, laptop, or Chromebook without local installation or hosting, and subscriptions include iPad and Android tablet apps. The 60-day trial includes the full feature set for evaluations of up to two teachers. Pricing is available on request; annual licensing is based on the number of teachers evaluated, with unlimited evaluations and informal observations for each licensed teacher.
