Classroomscreen alternative

The classroom screen that remembers your setup

Want an all-in-one teacher screen that keeps your setup on the free plan without requiring annual billing? Classroom Group Generator saves your board on this device, offers Pro for $2.99 a month when you want cloud sync, and adds built-in AI writing and image tools.

Three reasons to consider switching

The same idea of one screen full of classroom widgets, with free local saving, monthly Pro billing, shared class rosters, and built-in AI tools.

Your setup is saved, even on free

Classroomscreen Basic does not save complete screen layouts. Here, your board is saved in your browser automatically, so it is still there tomorrow morning without an account.

Pay monthly, not a year up front

Classroomscreen Pro is billed once a year at $36. Our Pro is $2.99 a month with no yearly commitment, so you can subscribe for the months when you need cloud sync and AI tools.

AI extras in the same place

Write with AI, AI images and backgrounds, First-Then visuals, and custom AI stickers all work directly on your board. Classroomscreen's published widget and pricing pages do not currently list built-in AI generation.

Build your screen from these widgets

Every tool here drops straight onto a blank board. Add the ones you use, arrange them once, and your setup saves itself. Add the tools you need to one flexible whiteboard, arrange them around your lesson, and run the whole classroom without switching between separate apps.

How saving actually works

Classroomscreen Basic does not save complete screen layouts. Here is how saving works on our Free and Pro plans, so you always know where your boards live.

  • Free and logged out

    Your board configuration saves to this browser automatically as you build it. Close the tab, come back later, and the layout is still there on this device.

  • Pro and signed in

    Boards sync to the cloud and open on every device, organised into folders per class. After your Pro payment is confirmed, boards already saved on this device move to your account.

  • Built around your classes

    Instead of loose name lists, boards belong to a class with a real student roster, so the group maker, seating, and picker all pull from the same students.

Questions teachers ask

Still weighing the switch from Classroomscreen? Reach out and we will help you decide.

Get support

Is Classroom Group Generator really free?

Yes. Every core widget, including the group maker, random picker, timer, clock, noise monitor, traffic light, scoreboard, QR code, and poll, is free with no sign up. The free plan saves your board to this device. Pro ($2.99 a month) adds cloud sync, live QR polling, and 30 monthly credits for Write with AI, images, backgrounds, First-Then visuals, and custom stickers.

How is this different from Classroomscreen?

The two biggest differences are saving and billing. Classroomscreen Basic does not save complete screen layouts, and its Pro plan is billed annually. Here, your board is saved automatically even on the free plan, Pro is billed monthly at $2.99, and its AI credits cover writing, images, backgrounds, First-Then visuals, and custom stickers directly on the board.

Where is my data stored?

On the free plan, your board configuration is stored in this browser on the device you are using. After you upgrade to Pro and payment is confirmed, your boards sync to our cloud so you can open the same setup on your school computer, laptop, tablet, or phone. Your existing local boards are then moved to your account automatically.

Can I move my Classroomscreen setup over?

There is no automatic import from Classroomscreen. You rebuild your screen once here by dragging the widgets you use onto a blank board. After that, the complete layout is saved in your browser on Free or synced to your account on Pro.

Is anything better on Classroomscreen?

Yes. Classroomscreen currently has five widgets we do not offer as direct equivalents: PDF, Event countdown, Work symbols, Calendar, and Webcam. It also provides a larger template library and additional Pro customization options. Here, the tradeoff is free local board saving, monthly billing, class-roster workflows, seating charts, First-Then boards, and built-in AI writing and image tools.
