Google Classroom is Google's free tool for handing out assignments, collecting work and grading. It's a great place to start: a familiar interface with Docs, Drive and Meet close at hand. But it's a class inside Google, not your platform: the interface is Google's, every student needs a Google account, and on a personal account parents get no summaries. EduSystem is a technology partner: a branded platform where students and parents sign in to a cabinet under your name and see lessons and progress. You build interactive lessons yourself in EduSystem Lab, no code needed. Our team sets the platform up and keeps adapting it to your needs. Up to 5 students — free forever.

To be fair: if your budget is zero and you don't need branding or interactive lessons, Classroom is cheaper. EduSystem's paid plans start at $12/month (Silver, up to 20 students). But a "free" stack costs money and time too — here's how much.
Offer: your first month on any paid plan and in Lab is free, plus a personal bonus from our team.

For the first time, I felt that no one was trying to squeeze money out of me — they were genuinely invested in growing my business. EduSystem took over half our routine work and even built two custom activities just for our school.
Unprompted review
For us, as a driving school, the result mattered most: the final exam matches the real format at the MVS service center one-to-one. Students arrive at the actual exam already prepared, instead of encountering the format for the first time.
Questions
FAQ about EduSystem and Google Classroom
Not in everything. Classroom is free and familiar, and for handing out assignments it's often enough. EduSystem makes sense when you want your own platform: students sign in to a cabinet under your brand, work through interactive lessons from EduSystem Lab and tasks like phonetics or the sentence builder, and parents see their progress. Plus a team that sets everything up for you.
Yes. Parents sign in to the student's cabinet and see which lessons are done and with what results. In Google Classroom, guardian email summaries aren't available on personal accounts — only in institutions on Workspace for Education. More on reporting progress to parents.
Yes — our team does it as part of the content setup service ($5/hour): we move your materials, quizzes and lessons and organize them into courses on your platform. Scope and timing are agreed upfront. That's how, for example, Kashuba Online moved to EduSystem from 16 Telegram groups.
Yes — that's what EduSystem Lab is for: a no-code builder for interactive lessons right inside the course, with interactive video (questions and hints over the video), quizzes, drag-and-drop tasks, an audio recorder and many other formats. Existing H5P files can be imported. Lab costs $7/month, the first month is free, and our team will help you with your first lesson.
You don't have to pay at all: the Free plan covers up to 5 students, forever and with no card. If you have more students, your first month on any paid plan is free, plus a personal bonus from our team. After that — from $12/month (Silver, up to 20 students).
