A Teachmate alternative built from your national curriculum
GradeAid does what Teachmate 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 Teachmate’s own pages.
A UK-built toolkit of 150+ AI tools for teachers — planning, resource creation and assessment, including a slideshow generator and worksheet generators — with a support team of former UK teachers and weekly CPD webinars. Also sold in Australia and the US.
Teachmate pricing: Free plan with 15 free tools; Pro at £6.99/month, or £59.88 for the first year (£72/year after); whole-school packages from £414.75/year for five licences. Checked against their site in September 2026.

EU-based company & GDPR-native data handling

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 Teachmate fits
Teachmate offers a very wide menu of small, specific tools, a support team of former UK teachers and weekly CPD. UK teachers who value that support alongside the software will recognise the appeal.
Why teachers pick GradeAid
Pick GradeAid if you want fewer, deeper tools that connect: a plan from your curriculum, the slides, worksheet and quiz from that plan, then homework sent to students and marked — in nine languages, with EU-hosted data.
