A permanent free tier, then room to grow.
Innovation Assessments separates Active and Archived courses so you keep every lesson, rubric, and submission without paying for capacity you are not using. The free tier is not a trial. It is ongoing access with smaller limits, and you upgrade only when your live teaching load grows.
What matters most in this pricing model
Free means ongoing access. It is a real starting tier, not a countdown to forced payment.
Archived courses stay available. Keep your materials, submissions, and records instead of losing them between terms.
Upgrade when your teaching load grows. Pricing is meant to scale with active use, not pressure you early.
Innovation plugs into the LMS you already love.
Innovation tasks live alongside Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, or any platform that allows an external link or module embed. Drop a task URL into your LMS and keep grades, announcements, and rosters exactly where teachers expect them.
Why it matters
- Paste Innovation links into LMS assignments, modules, or daily agendas.
- Students click once, authenticate if needed, then complete Innovation tasks.
- Administrators keep district LMS usage stats intact while teachers enhance lessons.
Plan caps
Choose the tier that fits where you teach today. Upgrade only when you are ready to launch more active classes.
Every account starts on the free tier first. Upgrades happen later from inside the dashboard when you are ready for more capacity.

Innovation Assessments LLC contracts with third-party AI providers. Current integrations use OpenAI (ChatGPT) APIs, and pricing will reflect underlying market rates over time.
Shared resources within your organization
Educators in the same organization can publish tasks, rubrics, and prompts to a shared pool for colleagues to import.
List any resource to the shared pool so teammates can import and adapt it.
Free plan: up to 8 exports shared and 8 imports pulled from colleagues.
Pro plan: unlimited exports and imports across your organization.
Sharing stays inside your organization; attribution remains intact on import.
Course states
Archiving freezes activity and keeps your work available while your account remains active. Reactivation is one click once a slot opens.
Active courses
Where day-to-day instruction, grading, and AI-supported workflows happen.
- Enroll students, accept work, grade, and score.
- Add, edit, delete elements and reuse content.
- Use all AI features (generation, feedback, personalization).
Counts against
- Active course cap
- Student cap
- AI usage allocation
Archived courses
Keep every rubric, student artifact, and data story for the life of your account.
Free + Pro can
- View materials, submissions, and scores.
- Export grades and records.
- Provide read-only seasonal access to stakeholders.
Free plan cannot
- Enroll students or accept new submissions.
- Edit content or run AI actions.
- Reactivate without an open active slot.
Reactivation rule
Moving a course from Archived to Active consumes one available active slot. As soon as you archive another course or upgrade, you can reactivate instantly. No countdowns, no lockouts, no content threats.
Archived access depends on keeping your account in good standing and the service operating. We recommend exporting key records for your own backups.

FAQ
Simple answers about LMS pricing.
What does this pricing cover?
These plans cover the Innovation Assessments LMS platform and its assessment tools, classroom resources, and AI-supported workflows.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes ongoing access with smaller limits. It is not a trial, and you can upgrade any time.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Teachers can upgrade to Pro whenever they need higher limits or expanded AI usage.
Do archived courses keep my content?
Yes. Archived courses preserve your content while not counting against active limits.
Is the free plan a trial?
No. The free tier is ongoing access with smaller limits. It is meant to be a real permanent starting point, not a short countdown.
What happens when AI tokens run out?
Your classroom does not shut down. Instruction continues, your LMS workflow still works, and AI becomes available again on the next allocation or with added token capacity.
Can I still use Innovation inside my LMS?
Yes. Innovation is designed to plug into the LMS you already use through links and modules, so you do not have to rebuild your classroom around a separate system.
Can teachers share materials with colleagues?
Yes. Teachers in the same organization can share tasks, rubrics, and prompts. The free tier has limited imports and exports, while Pro removes those sharing caps.
What happens when I need more active course space?
You can archive a course to free a slot, reactivate when space opens, or upgrade to Pro for more live capacity. The goal is to expand when your teaching load actually grows.
Summary
Pricing is built for the Innovation Assessments LMS platform and scales with active teaching needs while keeping archived content accessible.
