Instead of Gradescope
Gradescope alternatives
Gradescope covers assessments given online or in class, from problem sets and projects to worksheets, quizzes, bubble sheets, exams, and code submissions. Its flexible rubrics support detailed feedback and can be changed across work already graded; instructors can also use programming and math autograders, written-work OCR, question-level statistics, and data exports. The Basic plan costs nothing. Institutional features include AI-assisted grading, collaborative grading, LMS integrations, SSO, and administrator tools. Its Android and iOS app is for students submitting assignments and viewing grades, not instructor workflows.

An alternative may fit better if you need live classroom assessment, specialized math or coding tasks, adaptive practice, or self-hosted software. Compare the formats and response types, feedback and grading automation, analytics, LMS connections, and hosting choices each offers. Device support matters too: Gradescope has web and student mobile apps, while several alternatives focus on web, desktop, or self-hosting. Check whether a free option covers your workflow and whether a paid plan is needed for specific capabilities; some alternatives publish prices, while others do not.
