Augmented Classroom

Overview

Augmented Classroom brings interactive, curriculum-aligned lessons to K–6 educators, with activities spanning several subjects and formats. It is best suited to teachers and homeschool educators who want lesson content that can move between 2D, 3D and augmented reality. Its breadth is appealing, but check student access and lesson-plan allowances against your teaching setup before choosing a plan.

Explore, Create, Collaborate and Quiz give lessons different ways to engage learners; the subject range includes maths, art and creativity, language, technology, science and social studies. An AI voice assistant supports 13+ languages. The platform was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.

Key features

• Multiple teaching modes: Explore, Create, Collaborate and Quiz support different kinds of classroom activity, rather than limiting lessons to one interaction style.
• 2D, 3D and marker-based AR: The mix offers educators several ways to present material, though marker-based AR means the augmented experience is tied to visual markers.
• Lesson library and authoring: A lesson-plan library gives educators prepared material, and lesson authoring supports creating lessons. Plan limits matter: Basic has limited lesson plans, while Pro offers unlimited plans.
• Classroom management: The platform includes classroom-management functionality, but Basic is not a student participation plan: it is one educator account on one device, without student join-in access.
• Privacy and security: The company says it does not collect student data and that pupils are not processed or identified when using its solutions. It also says transfers use TLS 1.2, stored data uses AES256 encryption, and platform data is hosted in the EEA. Its stated compliance practices address GDPR, COPPA, FERPA and the EU AI Act.
• Integrations and support: CleverBooks content can be integrated with platforms that support different integration types. School includes teacher training and technical support; the contact team also handles product, pricing and technical questions.

Pricing

Augmented Classroom uses a freemium model, with plans ranging from a free single-user demonstration to per-student subscriptions. The right choice depends less on the headline price than on whether students need access and how many lesson plans the educator needs.

• Demo Plan — free: Billed forever, with one interactive test, mobile-only access and one user. This is a narrow way to try the product, not a workable full teaching setup.
• Trial Plan — free: Billed for 14 days, with all subjects, all devices and access for up to 30 students. It gives a classroom a short period to evaluate the broader experience before committing.
• Monthly Plan — $1.99 a month: Billed $23.88/year, per student/month, with a free teacher account, all subjects and all devices. It suits educators who want student access without committing to a year-long per-student term.
• Yearly Plan — $4.50 a year: Billed as low as $4.50/year*, per student/year, with a free teacher account, all subjects and all devices; *discount by volume. The annual term may suit longer-running use, especially at volume, but the per-student basis should be considered when estimating a class's total.

The Basic plan is described as a starting point for educators and has limited lesson plans, one educator user, one device and no student join-in access. Pro is intended for homeschool educators or classroom teaching and offers unlimited lesson plans. School targets educators and teacher collaboration and includes teacher training and technical support; School has custom pricing.

Platforms

Augmented Classroom supports web, Windows, iOS and Android. The stated device range includes desktops, laptops, netbooks and mobile devices, giving educators options across common classroom hardware. The free Demo Plan is mobile-only, so it does not reflect the all-device access of the trial and paid plans.

Who it's for

Educators seeking curriculum-aligned K–6 material across several subjects may value the combination of prepared lesson plans, authoring and varied activity modes. Homeschool educators or teachers who need broader lesson-plan access should look toward Pro; schools interested in teacher collaboration may find School a better fit, particularly where training and technical support matter.

Basic is better treated as an educator's entry point than a student-facing classroom solution, because it does not allow students to join in. If learners need direct access, the trial or a paid per-student plan is more relevant. The 14-day trial's limit of up to 30 students also makes it a defined evaluation window rather than an ongoing free classroom tier.

Pros and cons

• Pro: A broad subject range and four teaching modes give educators flexibility in how they structure interactive lessons.
• Pro: Lesson authoring, a lesson library and unlimited Pro lesson plans can support both prepared teaching and educator-created material.
• Pro: All-device access on the trial and paid plans, plus support for Windows, iOS, Android and web, suits mixed-device settings.
• Pro: The company describes specific student privacy and security practices, including EEA hosting and encryption in transit and at rest.
• Con: Basic's single educator, single-device setup excludes student join-in, so it is a poor fit for direct classroom participation.
• Con: The free Demo Plan is limited to one interactive test and mobile access, offering little basis for sustained use.
• Con: The monthly and yearly plans charge per student, so classroom cost depends on the number of learners rather than only the teacher account.

Alternatives

Choose JigSpace if its free plan's three active Jigs, three steps, 100MB team storage and two user seats better match a small shared-content setup. Choose TrainAR if a free, open-source AR option under the MIT license is the priority.

Delightex Edu (formerly CoSpaces Edu) may suit educators who want a free tier capped at 29 students, two projects and one class. Merge EDU is another free classroom option, with its Classroom plan including both EDU and Creator suites, student seats and classroom management.

Choose Quiver for a free set of 10 AR coloring sheets without a subscription. Assemblr EDU offers a free plan with 400 3D objects, limited topics and Edu Kits, 30 MB storage, unlimited QR markers and 25 custom graphic AR markers.

Halo AR is worth comparing if its annual BASIC or $99 a year PRO plan fits your needs. Narrator AR offers free apps built around AR activity pages.

Verdict

Augmented Classroom is a strong fit for K–6 educators who want curriculum-aligned lessons with several teaching modes, mixed 2D/3D/AR content and room to author lessons. Its strongest case is the breadth of teaching material and the option to scale lesson-plan access with Pro. Look elsewhere if you need Basic to support student participation, or if per-student pricing does not suit your classroom budget.
