What It Is

ClassCheck is a digital gradebook tool for teachers, designed primarily to replace paper records and Excel for managing classes, subjects, student grades, classroom performance, and periodic assessments. It runs in the cloud with no installation required, and offers a Demo that does not require registration. The product is developed in Austria, and its website clearly emphasizes European hosting, GDPR compliance, and encryption.

Core Features and Collaboration

The feature set is built around everyday grading workflows for teachers. Users can create classes and subjects, with support for +/~/−, 1-5, 1-6, A-F, percentages, points, and custom grading systems. Categories such as participation, tests, and written exams can be weighted, with averages calculated automatically. Data entry is fairly refined, including click-to-cycle input, keyboard shortcuts, column templates, absence/event counts, and handling of empty values. For reporting, ClassCheck can generate PDFs for individual students or entire classes, and can export to CSV, Excel, and PDF. On the collaboration side, subjects can be shared with colleagues; collaborators can edit, while deletion and invitation permissions remain with the owner. Real-time synchronization is also supported. It can also import test results from ClassTests and learning progress from ClassCards.

Pricing and Security

Pricing is very straightforward: an individual license costs €10/year/teacher, with the first 6 months free, no credit card required, and no automatic renewal. The school license costs €99/year for up to 40 teachers, and includes a school code, seat management, and invoices with the school address. After expiry, users can still view and export data, but can no longer add or edit entries. Security information is relatively comprehensive: AES-256 encryption, EU servers, no tracking cookies, GDPR compliance, and optional end-to-end encryption. The documentation also mentions 2FA, activity logs, GDPR exports, and account deletion.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are low pricing, a focused feature set, and a short learning curve, making it especially suitable for individual teachers, small schools, or teams looking to centrally purchase a low-cost grade management tool. Compared with Excel, it offers a more structured approach to collaboration, permissions, reporting, and privacy compliance. The limitations are that it is not a full SIS or academic administration system, and there is no obvious mention of an open API, mobile app, LMS integration, or deep Google/Microsoft integration. The permission model is also relatively simple, mainly centered on shared editing of subjects.

Access from China and Alternatives

The website does not provide information about China-specific access, ICP filing, payment, or local services, so its accessibility from China should be considered unknown. For payments, it clearly supports manual renewal, invoice requests, and bank transfer, but does not mention common domestic Chinese payment methods. If used in a Chinese school environment, network accessibility, data compliance, and cross-border storage requirements should be verified first. Alternatives may include Excel/spreadsheets, local academic administration systems, the Moodle gradebook, or domestic education management platforms.
