The report card
Best for online tutoring rooms with a whiteboard
Scribblar is a teaching room built around a shared whiteboard with audio, video and chat, and it turns PDFs and slides into whiteboard pages. It has no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and every plan caps rooms, people per room and pages per file.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $19 a month for 3 rooms, $32 for 10 and $59 for 30. The category's dearer quarter starts at $10.95, but it's a teaching room, not just a board. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A 7-day trial with 3 rooms and up to 3 users, and the page doesn't say whether a card is needed. Nothing free after that. |
| Features | C | Whiteboard, audio, video, chat and document conversion. Rooms, users per room and pages per file are all capped by plan. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up rooms and upload lesson files first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Browser only, and no integrations are listed. |
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.
Who Scribblar is for
- Fits if you tutor one to one or in small groups online
- Works for teachers who want to turn existing slides and PDFs into lesson pages
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there's only a 7-day trial
- Tight if you grow: 3, 10 or 30 rooms, and 3, 5 or 15 users per room
- Tight if you have long files: conversion stops at 25, 50 or 100 pages per file
- Watch out: Enterprise has no published price

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 Scribblar 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: 91 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $228 a year.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- A slide editor.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
What this rests on. Scribblar’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.
