Classroomscreen pricing 2026: what free actually gets you

August 2, 2026 · 8 min read

As of August 2026, Classroomscreen Pro is about $36/year, and the feature teachers most often pay for is saving the screen they built — not a radically different widget set. Free still lets you project many tools; it does not keep your perfect morning layout until next period. This page clears up conflicting prices floating around teacher blogs and compares the save-gate to free alternatives.

Why prices look inconsistent online

Older posts still cite ~$29.90/year from earlier Pro pricing.
Some directories and review sites list $39–40 or local-currency equivalents.
School or multi-seat quotes may differ from individual Pro.

We treat ~$36/year Pro (August 2026) as the working individual number and link you to verify on the vendor site before you buy. Per our sourcing policy, we date this claim and will update when Pro pricing changes.

What free typically includes

On the free tier you can open Classroomscreen, add widgets, and project. That is enough for a one-off timer or a rebuilt board each morning. Teachers who design a careful layout — agenda text, timer, traffic light, background — hit the wall when that layout will not persist without Pro.

What Pro is really for

Across Reddit r/Teachers discussions and third-party reviews, the dominant complaint is the save-gate: build the perfect screen, close the tab, start over. Competitor Sage Teachers has summarized the feeling as: you build your perfect screen, and next lesson it is gone. Multiple reviewers describe paying Pro solely to save. If that matches you, $36/year may be fair — just buy it for the right reason.

Free tools that save boards instead

MyClassScreen — 18 widgets, free saving, templates ( full comparison).
Teacherstack — free saving with a rotations focus.

Should you pay for Pro?

Pay if you love Classroomscreen’s catalog, your school already standardizes on it, and $36/year is easier than switching.

Skip if the only upgrade you need is “remember my board,” and a free saver covers your widgets.
