Pawtograder vs Teachfloor

Pawtograder combines autograding, manual grading, office hours, discussion, a gradebook, and analytics for computer science courses. Each commit can trigger tests through GitHub Actions, with results shown by test in the grading interface. Rubrics support additive, deductive, and multi-level criteria, line-level annotations, and separate scoring for group members. The gradebook includes MathJS expression columns, drop-lowest calculations, CSV import, and a student what-if mode. Office hours queues support text, video, and screen sharing, and can show linked submissions and failing tests. Discussions can surface relevant threads for known errors and allow public or staff-only posts. Calendar feeds and Discord channel mirroring cover course events; LTI 1.3 integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle are listed as roadmap items. Optional AI-generated test hints and an MCP server for compatible AI clients are also listed. Instructors can use the project-hosted community instance or self-host on Kubernetes with Helm charts. The project is GPLv3 open source. The free community instance is for evaluation; ongoing use at scale requires contacting the project.

Teachfloor is a web learning platform for cohort-based courses, peer feedback, community, and AI-assisted course work. Its editor combines video, live sessions, peer activities, and assessments, with support for quizzes, assignments, peer reviews, group activities, discussions, files, embeds, and SCORM. Teachfloor says its AI can draft courses, generate quizzes, review assessments against rubrics, and identify learners who may need attention. Stripe handles payments, and custom domains are available. The service lists 314 integrations across CRM, video, payments, and productivity, plus a REST API, webhooks, LTI 1.3, and a JavaScript SDK. Security descriptions include TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, DigitalOcean hosting, role-based access control, and optional organization-wide two-factor authentication. The Startup plan costs $89 a month for 50 seats, unlimited courses, and 10 GB storage. A free trial is offered, but no free plan.
