Alternative

A Brisk alternative built from your national curriculum

GradeAid does what Brisk does — lesson plans, slides, worksheets and quizzes — and then sends the work to your students, marks the quizzes and keeps the data in the EU. Here is what changes if you switch, checked against Brisk’s own pages.

A browser extension that adds AI to the tools teachers already use — Google Docs and Slides, YouTube and the LMS: lesson plans, quizzes, presentations, feedback on student writing in 50+ languages, and Brisk Boost, an AI students can interact with. Widely used in US districts.

Brisk pricing: Free for teachers, with the extension, 20+ tools and Brisk Boost; Premium and Intelligence are custom-priced for schools and districts and add more tools, faster models, unlimited feedback uploads and, on Intelligence, curriculum-informed outputs. Checked against their site in September 2026.

Why teachers switch from Brisk

What GradeAid does that Brisk has not published, or only in part:

Built from national curriculum standards
Brisk: partial
Standards integration and “Curriculum Intelligence” are district-plan features; no European national curriculum is named.
Auto-graded quizzes
Brisk: partial
Brisk generates quizzes into Google tools; whether they are taken and marked in Brisk is not published.
Send to students as homework
Brisk: partial
Brisk Boost lets students interact with an AI; assigning a worksheet or quiz and collecting the submissions is not published.
EU-based company & GDPR-native data handling
Brisk: partial
Brisk is a US company that describes itself as “GDPR aligned” with a 95% Common Sense privacy rating; it does not publish EU hosting.

On everything else the two are level — the full feature-by-feature table is below.

A hollow circle means partial support and a question mark means the company has not published an answer either way — we would rather say so than guess.

Which one fits your classroom?

Where Brisk fits

Brisk lives inside Google Docs, Slides and YouTube as a browser extension, with a strong focus on feedback on student writing. Schools that run entirely on Google Workspace and want AI layered over it, rather than a separate app, are its natural audience.

Why teachers pick GradeAid

Pick GradeAid if you want one place that plans from your national curriculum, builds the slides, worksheets and quizzes, and sends them to students — with no AI chatting with pupils, data hosted in the EU and a data processing agreement for your school.
