OpenRubric vs Rubric IQ

OpenRubric is a managed judging service for hackathons, handling submission imports, scoring coordination, timeline review, and rankings. Organizers can import projects from a public Devpost URL, upload a CSV, or enter them manually. They set weighted criteria and tracks; judges score each criterion, may add comments, and keep independent records. OpenRubric calculates winners by track and overall, and event data can be exported to CSV at any time. When configured with a GitHub token, it scans repository dates, commits, and contributors as timeline signals for organizers to review. It is not a cheating detector or AI judge: people make scores and award decisions, and the product does not automatically deduct points. AI can draft short summaries for judges, and organizers can switch that off without affecting ranking calculations. The hosted service says it retains event data while an account or event is active and does not sell data or use it for advertising. A partner event is listed at free for one event in kind; managed events are billed at $50 to $100 per event, with larger events quoted before agreement.

Rubric IQ is a web-based AI assessment intelligence platform that uses existing rubrics to assess student work and prepare feedback. It accepts handwritten, digital, image-based, and document-based submissions, including PDF, PNG, TIFF, Word, and text files. Teachers review generated results and feedback, and nothing becomes final until approval. Feedback can explain what a student did well, where marks were lost, and how to improve. Across assessments, the platform can identify cohort trends, common misconceptions, and learning gaps. Moodle assessments can be imported; listed RTO integrations also include aXcelerate, API, and custom integrations. The maker says it is hosted on Microsoft Azure and Australian built and supported. Rubric IQ has a free plan and trial. Individual Teacher costs A$40, paid once for 40 credits, with no recurring fees; credits do not expire. Schools and organisations use application pricing.
