Comparison — Additio

Classroom Hub vs Additio App

Additio is the closest thing to a direct competitor we have, and it is cheaper — €13.99/year against our £49. It is a deeper assessment and planning tool. Classroom Hub is a deeper classroom tool: the board, the routine, the points and the rewards. Which one is right depends on whether your time goes on planning and marking or on running the room.

Where Additio wins

Best for: Teachers whose workload is assessment and curriculum planning — rubrics, competency tracking, unit plans aligned to a curriculum — and who want that at the lowest price.

It costs less than half what we do€13.99/year against £49. If your budget is the deciding factor, that is a real gap and we are not going to talk you out of noticing it.
Rubrics and assessment go deeperOver 10,000 ready-made rubrics, AI-generated ones, weighted competencies and custom formulas. If rubric-led assessment is the core of your marking, Additio is built for that in a way Classroom Hub is not.
It plugs into Google Classroom, Teams and MoodleIf your school runs any of those, that integration removes duplicate entry. Classroom Hub is standalone, which means you set your classes up yourself.
It works offline, and on AndroidAdditio runs on iOS, Android, web and Chromebook with offline sync. Classroom Hub needs a browser and a connection.

Where Classroom Hub wins

Best for: Teachers whose workload is the running of the classroom itself — the board, the morning routine, points, rewards and homework — with grading connected to it rather than separate from it.

It runs the room, not just the recordClassroom Screen puts the objective, the timer, the bell ringer and the name picker on the board. Additio is something you keep on your own device; Classroom Hub is also something the class looks at.
The exit ticket marks itselfRun it live at the end of the lesson and the scores land in the weighted gradebook category on their own. No collecting, no entering.
Points students can actually spendClass points feed a reward store, and achievements like Star of the Week add points automatically. That whole loop — the chart and the prize box finally connected — has no equivalent in Additio.
The primary morning routine is coveredTimetable, birthdays, class jobs, homework check-in and recent achievements on one dashboard. Additio is built around assessment; this is built around the first fifteen minutes of the day.

Common questions

Additio is cheaper. Why would I pay more for Classroom Hub?

You would not, if what you need is rubrics, competency tracking and curriculum-aligned planning — Additio does those better and for less. You would if the wall charts, the points chart, the prize box, the morning jobs board and the exit slips in your bag are the things eating your time. Those are what Classroom Hub replaces, and Additio does not do them.

Does Additio have a front-of-class mode like Classroom Screen?

Not as part of the product. Additio is a teacher-side gradebook, planner and assessment tool. Classroom Screen is the part of Classroom Hub the whole class looks at, with objectives, a timer, a bell ringer and a fairness-weighted name picker.

Can I use both?

You can, and if you are heavily invested in Additio rubrics it may be the sensible answer — keep Additio for assessment and use Classroom Hub for the board, the routine and the rewards. They overlap on the gradebook, so you would want to pick one place for marks and stick to it.
