GradingPal

GradingPal, according to its website, lets teachers grade essays, handwritten math, science assignments, worksheets, quizzes, exams, problem sets, presentations, and spoken content using rubric-based AI scores and explanations. Teachers can bring their own rubric, use a rubric library, edit scores and feedback, control feedback style and language, and share or schedule feedback, including through Google Classroom. The site also describes standards mastery tracking across frameworks such as Common Core and NGSS, and classroom analytics that surface strengths and recurring difficulties. The free plan includes 50 submissions a month, custom rubrics, and editable scores and feedback; paid plans add capacity, rubric library access, and performance analytics. The website states that student work is not used to train AI models.
