How credits & billing work

  • 1 credit = 1 graded submission. Re-grading a submission uses a new credit.
  • Credits reset each billing period — no rollover.
  • Hit your monthly cap? Grading pauses with an upgrade prompt — uploads and review are never blocked.
  • Every school is billed independently — its own invoices, billing portal and trial clock.
  • Running low? Credit top-ups (from $15 for 25 credits) never expire and kick in after your monthly allotment.
FAQ

Questions, answered

The things teachers and centre directors ask us first.

What exactly is a credit?

One credit grades one submission. A grading run for a class of 28 uses 28 credits; re-grading a student later uses one more. It's the simplest possible unit — no per-page or per-question maths to track.

How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial that includes 8 grading credits — enough to grade a small class set. Cancel anytime from your billing page.

What happens when I hit my monthly credit cap?

Grading pauses — uploading work and reviewing already-graded submissions are never blocked. Buy a credit top-up right in the app (from $15 for 25 credits — top-ups never expire) or upgrade your plan. Monthly credits reset each billing period and don't roll over.

Can I buy extra credits without upgrading?

Yes. Top-up packs — 25 credits for $15, 100 for $55 or 250 for $125 — are one-time purchases from your Billing page. They never expire, and they're only drawn on after your monthly allotment is used up.

Can I change or cancel my plan later?

Yes. Switch tiers, move between monthly and annual billing, update your payment method or cancel — all self-serve from your billing page. Changes prorate automatically.

We run multiple schools or campuses — can we keep them isolated?

Yes. Each school gets its own branded subdomain and isolated environment, with its own billing. Beyond the School tier's 500 credits a month, or several campuses under one agreement, talk to us about Enterprise — hello@gradingmate.com.

Can it grade handwritten or scanned work?

Yes — scanned pages are read with vision OCR, and you can correct the transcript before it's graded if anything was misread. Because scans cost more to process, there's a sensible per-assessment page limit on the trial and entry tier so a single huge upload can't run away with your credits.

Which subjects and grades are supported?

Any of them. You name the course yourself — there is no fixed catalogue to pick from — and the grader works from the assessment and marking scheme you upload rather than from a curriculum it was told about in advance. It has been exercised across maths, the sciences, English, humanities, business, computer science and languages, at every secondary grade.

Do I have to connect a learning-management system?

No — and you never will. The whole flow (upload, grade, review, export) is LMS-free by design. A Moodle connector is on our roadmap for schools that want one, but it isn't built yet and the core product doesn't depend on it.

Are the screenshots on this site real?

Yes — they're captured straight from the app, and every mark, comment and confidence flag in them was produced by the real grader. The class is invented: publishing a real student's work would be a privacy breach, so we wrote our own sample assessment and papers and graded those.
