GradeAid vs TeachTools

GradeAid helps teachers prepare lessons and teaching materials linked to national curriculum standards. Its planner drafts editable lesson plans with learning objectives, timed activities and curriculum links. Teachers can also create presentations, printable worksheets, auto-graded quizzes and real-life project activities, with resources themed to students’ interests. The site lists standards for Denmark, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Romania and Spain. Teachers can assign materials as homework; pupils use a separate application to view and complete assigned work. The privacy policy says pupils do not have a chatbot, AI tutor or content-generation feature. GradeAid says it removes personal identifiers before sending educational content to AI providers and does not use uploaded materials or pupil work to train AI models. The web service has a free plan at free, with five resources a week. Pro is $8.99 a month and Max is $14.99 a month. Schools can request a tailored quote and book a free trial.
