A SlideSpeak alternative built from your national curriculum
GradeAid does what SlideSpeak 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 SlideSpeak’s own pages.
An AI presentation generator that turns prompts and documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) into slide decks. General-purpose rather than education-built, with a 25% academic discount.
SlideSpeak pricing: Free tier with 100 monthly AI credits; Premium at $29/month (1,000 credits); Premium Plus at $34/month (2,500 credits); Enterprise custom. Credit top-ups $10–$50. Checked against their site in August 2026.

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 SlideSpeak fits
SlideSpeak is a general document-to-slides converter rather than a teaching tool. It suits anyone turning a long report or spreadsheet into a deck, teacher or not, who needs neither curriculum alignment nor anything for students.
Why teachers pick GradeAid
SlideSpeak has no curriculum model, no worksheets, no quizzes and no student layer. If you want one tool for the whole lesson rather than a deck generator plus four other subscriptions, that is the difference.
