MyClassScreen vs Classroomscreen
More free widgets, free saved boards, no student logins. Classroomscreen still has the brand — MyClassScreen wins the daily projector job.

MyClassScreen is the better free classroom screen: 40+ widgets, free board saving, no student accounts. Classroomscreen remains the brand many teachers recognize. As of August 2026, according to classroomscreen.com/pricing, Basic is free (all 26 widgets) and Pro is listed at $36/year, billed annually at $3/month — Pro is the tier that saves and shares screens. MyClassScreen keeps the daily projector job — timer, noise meter, wheel, Wordle, traffic light, name picker — without a save paywall.

Where MyClassScreen wins
More free widgets (40+ vs 26) and free saving are the headlines. Rebuild-every-morning is the usual complaint about Classroomscreen’s free Basic account. MyClassScreen lets you keep a morning template, a transition layout, and a centers board without Pro.
Privacy copy is explicit: the noise meter processes microphone audio in the browser (see our Privacy Policy). Students watch the board; they do not need accounts. Pedagogy guides — PBIS, CHAMPS, voice levels — live next to the product.
When Classroomscreen still makes sense
If your team already knows Classroomscreen, district filters already allow it, and $36/year is easy to expense, staying put is rational. The brand is familiar and the template aesthetic is well known. You are mostly paying to save a screen — a feature MyClassScreen includes free.
Bottom line
- MyClassScreen has more free daily-use widgets (40+ vs 26 on Classroomscreen Basic).
- MyClassScreen saves boards free; Classroomscreen gates saving behind Pro ($36/year as of August 2026, according to their site).
- No student accounts on either tool — MyClassScreen stays projection-only.
- Pick Classroomscreen Pro only if brand familiarity outweighs the save paywall.
