Autocrat vs GradeBook

Autocrat edges out GradeBook on rating (4.3★ vs 4.1★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

On pricing, GradeBook offers a free tier (Free of charge trial) while Autocrat starts at Not available. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly at low usage volumes where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered.

Autocrat has the larger user base (6,204 reviews vs 110), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. GradeBook's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to Autocrat; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — GradeBook's 110-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Autocrat's broader-but-shallower coverage.

Autocrat typically suits established teams with steady usage based on its published review base (6,204 reviews).
