Chrome-extension AI that lives inside Google Docs and Google Classroom. Here is the honest, side-by-side comparison so you can pick the right one for your situation.
Where iTeachWise wins: iTeachWise is the dedicated workspace — not a sidebar — so it can carry full state-by-state ESA documentation, IEP tagging, and portfolio exports that a Chrome extension cannot.

When Brisk Teaching is the right pick
Teachers fully committed to Google Workspace who want AI inside the docs they already use. If that describes you, Brisk Teaching is a solid choice. Many teachers run both: Brisk Teaching for what it does best, iTeachWise as the planning + documentation workspace.
When iTeachWise is the right pick
iTeachWise is built for the full pathway K-12 educators and ESA families need — plan, differentiate, comply. If you need IEP-tagged lesson outputs, ESA-ready receipts, or an annual learning portfolio, iTeachWise is purpose-built for that work and Brisk Teaching is not.
- Save 10+ hours per week across planning, differentiation, and documentation.
- Trusted by 10,000+ educators across all 50 US states.
- One workspace instead of stitching together a lesson tool + a differentiation tool + a receipt tracker.
