A Few More Details
- MagicSchool: output history is limited on Free (the amount isn’t stated). Free includes “essential teacher and student tools”, and “50+ student tools” are listed under Plus. (MagicSchool pricing, checked Oct 17, 2026)
- SchoolAI: uploads are capped at 10MB within the Space session limit, the browser extension is limited, and LMS integration and rostering aren’t included on Free. (SchoolAI pricing, checked Oct 17, 2026)
In Plain Words
- If you mostly want help making stuff (plans, quizzes, feedback), MagicSchool’s free plan is mostly teacher tools. Just know MagicSchool doesn’t publish the generation cap.
- If you want SchoolAI Spaces, the free plan gives you 5 launches a year. For more than that, your school or district has to buy it, since SchoolAI doesn’t sell plans to individual teachers.
