  1. 1.Curriculum selection is a core part of the flow, gated to the Pro tier.
  2. 2.Chalkie does not publish a student-account or homework-submission layer.

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 should you actually use?

Pick Chalkie if…

Chalkie is the closest competitor on this list and genuinely good at what it does. Its YouTube-to-slides flow and its export path into Google Slides and PowerPoint are cleaner than ours, and its themes are well suited to primary classrooms.

Pick GradeAid if…

The difference is what happens after the resource is made. GradeAid assigns work to students, collects submissions and gives you class progress — and it ships with an AI tutor students can use on the work you sent. Chalkie stops at the resource.
