Overview

EssayGrader is an automated grading platform for teachers: upload student essays, apply a rubric – 800+ curriculum-aligned options or a custom one – and get detailed feedback and scores back in minutes instead of hours. The accuracy claim is benchmarked, not vague: scores matched or landed within 1 point of a teacher’s own score 94% of the time.

Built-in AI writing detection flags sentence-level text likely generated by popular AI models, paired with plagiarism checking against web sources and other student submissions – catching two different integrity problems in one pass. Handwriting recognition extends grading to scanned, hand-written essays rather than typed submissions only, and feedback adapts to grade level (K-5, 6-8, 9-12).

EssayGrader targets individual K-12 teachers and school districts, already serving 200,000+ teachers across 10,000+ schools with LMS integration for Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology. A free tier grades 100 essays; paid plans start at $19.99/month for individual teachers, with custom pricing for districts.
