Side by side
Scorafy vs Turnitin Feedback Studio
Feedback Studio is built around integrity and feedback: it tells you whether the essay is the student's own and gives the marker efficient tools to grade it. The marking itself is still done by the instructor. Scorafy's AI does the first-pass marking against your rubric, citing evidence for each criterion, then holds the result behind a release gate for the assessor to sign off. One protects the integrity of the submission; the other drafts the judgement on it.
AI-powered assessment platform that analyses each respondent's specific answers and generates a unique, personalised report with personalised strengths, development areas, and recommendations.
Free plan available. Self-serve paid plans from $39 USD/month (Starter) to $249/month (Pro), with Business and Enterprise plans quoted. Education and non-profit organisations get 40% off Starter, Growth and Pro. Per-respondent AI assessment is included on every paid plan.
Turnitin Feedback Studio is the institutional standard for essay submission, similarity checking and marking in higher education. Instructors mark with rubrics, grading forms and reusable QuickMarks, students see a similarity report and, where enabled, an AI-writing indicator, and everything runs inside the institution's LMS via LTI. Turnitin Clarity, its newer extension, adds a student composition workspace with educator-guided AI assistance and visibility of the writing process.
Institutional licence only, priced on quote - no individual or self-serve plan. Turnitin Clarity is an add-on to Feedback Studio. Checked 11 Sep 2026 - see turnitin.com for current terms.

Where each platform excels
An honest look at what each platform does best.
Turnitin Feedback Studio strengths
- The reference similarity database - decades of submissions, journals and web content behind every report
- Already licensed and LTI-integrated at most universities, so there is nothing new to procure
- Mature marker tooling: rubrics, grading forms, QuickMarks, audio comments, anonymous marking
- Clarity gives educators a view of how students used AI while writing, not only the finished essay
- Institutional data-processing agreements and accessibility conformance already in place
- The AI drafts each mark against your rubric with quoted evidence, so the assessor reviews rather than marks from scratch
- Release gate: results are held until a qualified assessor signs off, and every override is kept beside the original AI score
- Audit Pack export produces the complete record for a result in one file
- AI-marks audio, video and file submissions as well as essays
- Works outside the LMS and outside higher education: RTOs, certification bodies, workplace L&D
- Self-serve and free to trial, with EU data residency in Dublin and an optional Sydney region
Why choose Scorafy?
The fundamental difference is in how responses are analysed. Most platforms - including Turnitin Feedback Studio - treat responses as data points for aggregate reporting or template-based result pages.
Scorafy reads each respondent's specific answers - including free-text responses - and generates a completely unique assessment report. Every person gets personalised strengths, development areas, and actionable recommendations written specifically for them.

Our honest recommendation
Turnitin Feedback Studio is the right choice when the question is whether the work is the student's own and the marker wants efficient tools inside the LMS - and for most universities it is already there. Scorafy does no similarity checking and does not sit inside an LMS. Choose Scorafy when the question is what the work is worth against your rubric and you want the AI to draft that judgement with evidence, a reviewer to sign it off, and an audit trail behind the result. The two are complementary: integrity check in Turnitin, rubric marking in Scorafy.
