# EssayGrader > EssayGrader is a rubric-based AI essay grading platform for K-12 and higher-education teachers. It grades bulk-uploaded student essays against standards-aligned or custom rubrics, returns criterion-by-criterion feedback, and gives teachers final control over every grade before it is released to students. EssayGrader is sold two ways: as an individual teacher subscription (a free Basic tier, then Lite/Pro/Premium monthly plans) and as a school or district contract with centralized rubric management, admin dashboards, and district-wide analytics. The web app lives at https://app.essaygrader.ai, the marketing site at https://www.essaygrader.ai, and product support at https://help.essaygrader.ai (support@essaygrader.ai). Every plan grades against a shared library of standards-aligned rubrics (US state assessments, AP, Common Core, ACT) and integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology. ## Product - [Pricing](https://www.essaygrader.ai/pricing): Basic (free, 50 essays/month), Lite ($6.99/mo), Pro ($14.99/mo), Premium ($34.99/mo), and custom school/district plans for 25+ users. - [Free tools index](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools): directory of EssayGrader's standalone free tools. - [AI Grader for High School](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ai-grader-high-school) - [AI Grader for Middle School](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ai-grader-middle-school) - [AI Grader for Elementary School](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ai-grader-elementary-school) - [AI Grader for Texas STAAR](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ai-grader-texas-staar) - [College Essay Checker](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/college-essay-checker) - [Thesis Checker](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/thesis-checker) - [AI Rubric Generator](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ai-rubric-generator) - [EZ Grader (grade calculator)](https://www.essaygrader.ai/tools/ez-grader-grade-calculator) ## Features - [Bulk Upload](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/bulk-upload) - [Custom Rubrics](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/custom-rubrics) - [Default Rubrics](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/default-rubrics) - [Feedback Reports](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/feedback-reports) - [Performance Insights](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/performance-insights) - [Dashboard](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/dashboard) - [Classes](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/classes) - [Google Classroom Integration](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/google-classroom-integration) - [Canvas LMS Integration](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/canvas-lms-integration) - [AI Content Detector](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/ai-content-detector) - [Plagiarism Detection](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/plagiarism-detection) - [AI Content Summarizer](https://www.essaygrader.ai/features/ai-content-summarizer) ## Curriculum & standards rubrics - [Rubrics library](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics): index of standards-aligned writing rubrics. - [STAAR Writing Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/staar-writing-rubric) (Texas) - [FAST Writing Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/florida-fast-writing-rubric-best) (Florida) - [NJSLA / PARCC Writing Rubrics](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/njsla-parcc-writing-rubrics) - [SBAC Writing Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/sbac-writing-rubric) - [ACT Writing Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/act-writing-rubric) - [AP Lang Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/ap-lang-rubric) - [DBQ Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/dbq-rubric) - [LEQ Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/leq-rubric) - [AP Seminar IWA Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/ap-seminar-iwa-rubric) - [AP Research Paper Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/ap-research-paper-rubric) - [AP Gov Argumentative Essay Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/ap-gov-argumentative-essay-rubric) - [Narrative Writing Rubric](https://www.essaygrader.ai/rubrics/narrative-writing-rubric) ## Who it's for - [District Essay Grading Software](https://www.essaygrader.ai/district-essay-grading-software): centralized rubric deployment, district-wide analytics, and state-assessment alignment for administrators. ## Trust & accuracy - [AI Grading Accuracy Center](https://www.essaygrader.ai/ai-grading-accuracy-center): published accuracy studies, methodology, and benchmarks against experienced-teacher scoring, including stated limitations of AI grading. ## Comparisons - [EssayGrader vs Class Companion](https://www.essaygrader.ai/blog/essaygrader-ai-vs-class-companion) - [EssayGrader vs MagicSchool AI](https://www.essaygrader.ai/blog/essaygrader-ai-vs-magicschool) - [EssayGrader vs GPTZero AI Reviewer](https://www.essaygrader.ai/blog/essaygrader-ai-vs-gptzero-ai-reviewer) - [How to Use ChatGPT to Grade Essays](https://www.essaygrader.ai/blog/how-to-use-chat-gpt-to-grade-essays): frames ChatGPT's limitations against a dedicated grading tool. ## Company - [About](https://www.essaygrader.ai/about): founding story, leadership (Chan Yerneni, Founder & CEO; Suraj Reddy, Co-founder & CTO), and parent company Tech Nest Ventures Inc. - [Testimonials](https://www.essaygrader.ai/testimonials): named teacher and district users across the US and Canada. - [Book a demo](https://www.essaygrader.ai/demo) - [Feature updates / release notes](https://www.essaygrader.ai/feature-updates) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.essaygrader.ai/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.essaygrader.ai/terms-of-service) ## Blog - [Blog](https://www.essaygrader.ai/blog): ongoing articles on essay grading, assessment, feedback, and classroom AI use for teachers.
