Alternative

A Chalkie alternative built from your national curriculum

GradeAid does what Chalkie 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 Chalkie’s own pages.

A teacher-first AI lesson creator built for US classrooms: pick a topic and a standard and it produces editable slide decks, differentiated worksheets, lesson series with recaps and quiz questions, vocabulary and suggested videos, with export to Google Slides, PowerPoint and PDF.

Chalkie pricing: Free plan with 5 resources and 10 AI edits a week, including Google and Microsoft export; Pro from $6.65/month (billed yearly at $79.80) and Max from $12.99/month, mainly adding more slides per lesson and higher limits; school pricing on request. Checked against their site in September 2026.

Why teachers switch from Chalkie

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

Built from national curriculum standards
Chalkie: partial
Chalkie names US frameworks — NGSS, C3 and state standards. Danish, Romanian, Spanish or other European curricula are not listed.
Auto-graded quizzes
Chalkie: partial
Chalkie generates quiz questions for the teacher to use; it has no student side, so nothing is taken or marked in Chalkie.
Send to students as homework
Chalkie: not published
Chalkie does not publish student accounts or homework submission.
EU-based company & GDPR-native data handling
Chalkie: not published

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 Chalkie fits

Chalkie is built for US classrooms and standards, with themed slide decks and worksheets that export to Google Slides or PowerPoint. Teachers who work entirely inside Google's tools and already have their own route for getting work to students may find it a comfortable fit.

Why teachers pick GradeAid

Pick GradeAid if the resource is only half the job. GradeAid builds from named national curricula — Danish Fælles Mål, Romanian, Spanish, UK, Australian and US — in nine interface languages, then assigns the worksheet or quiz to your students, marks quizzes automatically and shows you who has done what. Aidly, the AI tutor for teachers, edits any of it in plain words. And the data stays in the EU: hosted in Belgium, with a data processing agreement for schools.
