AI homework help that does not do the homework
Students already have AI homework help. The question is no longer whether to allow it, but what shape of help you are willing to defend at a parent meeting.
MagicSchool publishes two prices and quotes the third. What Free, Plus and Enterprise actually cost, and the number a district quote has to beat.

Short answer: MagicSchool publishes two prices and hides the third. The Free plan is $0 and covers 80+ teacher tools. MagicSchool Plus is $12.99 per month billed monthly, or $8.33 per user per month billed annually, which works out to $99.96 a year. MagicSchool Enterprise, the plan schools and districts actually buy, is quote only. MagicSchool publishes no per-teacher or per-student Enterprise number anywhere on its site.
Every figure below was checked against MagicSchool's own pricing and FAQ pages in September 2026, and the sources are linked. Coeducate is not affiliated with MagicSchool. We sell a different kind of product, and this article says plainly where MagicSchool is the better purchase.
| Plan | Who it is for | Published price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | An individual teacher | $0 | 80+ teacher tools, the Raina chatbot, quizzes, class writing feedback, basic support and professional development. |
| Plus | A teacher paying out of pocket, or a small team | $12.99/month, or $8.33/user/month billed annually ($99.96/year) | Unlimited generations and output history, 50+ student tools, student learning insights, advanced tool features, MagicSchool Labs. |
| Enterprise | Schools and districts | Custom quote, volume-based discounts | Custom data privacy agreement, SIS and LMS integrations, single sign-on, district alignment, tool management controls, advanced safeguards and moderation, admin dashboards, a dedicated customer success manager and professional development. |

Because MagicSchool does not publish one. The pricing page lists Enterprise as "Custom" and routes you to a quote request. The FAQ goes one step further and explains why: "For school and district Enterprise licenses, we offer volume-based discounts." A district of 4,000 teachers and a single campus of 30 do not pay the same unit price, so there is no single number to print.
This matters because several review sites publish confident MagicSchool Enterprise figures, usually somewhere around ten dollars per teacher per month or three to four dollars per student. Those numbers do not appear on any MagicSchool page. They are third-party estimates, often recycled between blogs that have never seen a quote, and a few of them contradict each other in the same paragraph. If you are building a budget line, do not use them. Request the quote, because that is the only number your business office can defend.
There is one price you can model without talking to anybody, and it is a useful ceiling.
If you skip Enterprise entirely and simply buy Plus for every teacher on annual billing, the math is $99.96 per teacher per year. For a 40-teacher school that is $3,998.40 a year. For 120 teachers it is $11,995.20. Enterprise should come in under that per seat, since volume discounts are the stated reason it exists, so treat the Plus-for-all figure as the number a quote has to beat.
What that ceiling does not include is the reason most districts move to Enterprise in the first place. A custom data privacy agreement, single sign-on, rostering through your SIS, and centralized controls over which tools students can reach are not features you can buy with a school credit card on Plus. If your procurement process requires a signed DPA, the free and Plus tiers are off the table regardless of price, and the quote is the only path.
MagicSchool is a teacher productivity platform first. The center of gravity is the tool library: lesson plans, rubrics, IEP goal drafts, parent emails, differentiated texts, exit tickets. The student side arrived later and runs through teacher-created Student Rooms, so a student reaches the tools through an activity a teacher set up rather than through a free-roaming account. On privacy, MagicSchool states that "student data is encrypted and never used to train AI models."
That shape explains who gets value. A school where teachers spend their evenings writing materials will feel the difference in a fortnight, and the free tier makes that easy to prove before any money changes hands. A school whose actual problem is that intervention students are not moving will not, because generating a worksheet faster is not the same job as finding out why a particular student keeps getting percentages wrong.
It is worth being precise about the unit of work before you buy anything. If what a teacher needs is one narrow task done well, say turning a chapter PDF into a usable set of questions, a dedicated quiz generator that works straight from the PDF covers it without a platform decision. Platforms earn their price when the requirement is ongoing and shared across staff.
We get asked to compare these directly, so here is the honest version. They overlap less than the category label suggests.
| Question | MagicSchool | Coeducate |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Help teachers produce materials and communications faster | Tutor a student through their own work and record what they mastered |
| Breadth of tools | 80+ teacher tools plus 50+ student tools | Narrow on purpose: tutoring and per-skill mastery evidence |
| Entry price | $0 free tier, Plus at $99.96 per teacher per year | No free tier. Classroom $89/month, School $349/month |
| School pricing model | Per user, quote for Enterprise | Per program, published: School is $349/month for up to 600 students |
| What you get after a session | A generated artifact the teacher edits | A dated card naming the misconception, the mastery state per skill, and the student's own sentence it rests on |
| Signed DPA, SSO, SIS rostering | Yes, on Enterprise | No signed state DPA and no SOC 2 report today. Stated plainly on our student privacy page |
| Adoption and community | Very large, with an active educator community | Small and early |
Read that table as written. MagicSchool wins on breadth, on adoption, on a free tier that lets a teacher try it this afternoon, and on the compliance paperwork a large district requires. A lot of schools should buy it. The places it does not answer are documentation and diagnosis: what a specific student understands, on which skill, on which date, with the evidence attached. That is the gap our MTSS progress monitoring software fills, and it is why a school can reasonably run both.
On cost, the comparison is less lopsided than it looks. A 40-teacher, 600-student school buying Plus for every teacher pays $3,998.40 a year. Our School plan is $349 a month, or $3,480 on annual billing, for up to 600 students with no per-teacher count at all. Similar money, different purchase. If you are also pricing Khan Academy, the Khanmigo cost breakdown for schools runs the same 600-student math, and the Khanmigo alternative comparison covers the tutoring side.
That last one is the question that tends to decide renewals. Usage dashboards tell you a tool was opened. They do not tell you a student who could not find the base of a percentage in September can find it in November. Ask both vendors for a screenshot of what they report after eight weeks, and compare those two screenshots rather than the feature lists. Ours is on the pricing page, with the plan limits next to it.
MagicSchool does not publish an Enterprise price. The plan is listed as custom and sold by quote, with volume-based discounts for school and district licenses. The practical ceiling to compare a quote against is Plus for every teacher, which is $99.96 per teacher per year on annual billing.
Yes. MagicSchool has a free tier at $0 that includes more than 80 teacher tools, the Raina chatbot, quizzes, class writing feedback, and basic support. The paid Plus tier adds unlimited generations, 50+ student tools and student learning insights. Schools that need a signed data privacy agreement or single sign-on need Enterprise.
Plus is an individual subscription at $12.99 per month, or $8.33 per user per month billed annually, that unlocks unlimited use and the student tools. Enterprise is the institutional plan and adds what an individual cannot buy: a custom data privacy agreement, SIS and LMS integrations, single sign-on, district-level tool controls, admin dashboards and a dedicated customer success manager.
No. MagicSchool states that student data is encrypted and never used to train AI models, and that student interactions are stored securely to support teacher visibility and classroom oversight. Coeducate does not train on student work either. Confirm the specifics in writing in the data privacy agreement attached to any quote, because that document, not a marketing page, is what your district is bound by.
MagicSchool is worth it for schools whose bottleneck is teacher preparation time, because the free tier proves the value before procurement starts and the tool library is genuinely broad. It is weaker value for a school whose bottleneck is intervention evidence, where the thing you need is a per-student record of what changed rather than faster material generation.
Purchase order billing is handled through the Enterprise plan and the quote process rather than the self-serve Plus checkout, which takes a card. If your district cannot pay by card, say so in the first quote conversation, because it changes which plan you are actually being sold.
