The report card
Best for online tutoring on a shared paper
BitPaper is a browser whiteboard for tutoring, with multi-page papers, document import, audio, video and screen sharing. The free plan can only join papers others made, not create them, and the Individual plan is $15 a month, with Company accounts charged $1 per paper and $0.20 per call hour on top.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $15 a month billed monthly for Individual, which is above the category's dearer quarter at $10.95 but below its dearest tenth at $24.90. |
| Free plan and trial | D | The free plan can't create papers or calls. A 30-day Individual trial exists, and paid plans are billed by card; whether the trial needs one isn't stated. |
| Features | C | Multi-page papers, import, audio, video, screen share and an API. It does the tutoring job, but papers turn read-only if a paid plan is cancelled. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up papers and share links with students. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, but it has an API and white-labelling. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace BitPaper you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. BitPaper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
