Peergrade served the market well. ChallengeMe was built for where peer assessment is going.
The EU AI Act takes effect August 2026. ChallengeMe's AI features are built with compliance in mind — transparent, auditable, and educator-controlled.
Your data stays in the EU. No transatlantic transfers, no Privacy Shield concerns. Critical for institutions with strict data residency requirements.
Full LTI 1.3 with automatic grade passback. Students never leave their LMS. Works with Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard out of the box.
ChallengeMe ships weekly updates. Peergrade stopped. You need a platform that's going to grow with your institution, not stagnate.
Everything institutions ask when switching from Peergrade to ChallengeMe.
Not directly via API (Peergrade's API is now closed), but our onboarding team helps you recreate your rubric structure in ChallengeMe's criteria system. Most rubrics map 1:1, and many instructors find ChallengeMe's weighted criteria more flexible than Peergrade's approach.
We recommend exporting all historical data from Peergrade before your access expires. ChallengeMe starts fresh — we don't import old submissions, but your rubric structures and workflows can be rebuilt quickly. Past submissions stay wherever you exported them to.
Most institutions are fully operational within 3-5 business days. The LMS integration setup takes about 30 minutes per LMS instance. Rubric recreation depends on complexity but typically takes 1-2 hours per course. We recommend starting between semesters for the smoothest transition.
No. ChallengeMe integrates via LTI 1.3, which means students authenticate through your LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard). They click an assignment link in their LMS and they're in — no separate registration, no new passwords.
Yes. ChallengeMe is a European company (founded in Montpellier, France) with EU-based data hosting. We're fully GDPR compliant and actively preparing for the EU AI Act requirements taking effect in August 2026. We sign DPAs with all institutional clients.
ChallengeMe offers competitive institutional licensing. Most institutions switching from Peergrade find our pricing comparable or lower, especially for larger deployments. We offer volume discounts and multi-year agreements. Contact us for a custom quote.
Peergrade acquired Eduflow and merged the products before shutting down. ChallengeMe's multi-phase challenge system covers the same ground: submission, peer review, self-assessment, and reflection — all in a structured flow that instructors can customize per assignment.
Absolutely. We encourage a pilot with one or two courses first. Our onboarding team helps set everything up, and you can evaluate ChallengeMe with real students before making an institution-wide decision. No commitment required for the pilot.
Tell us about your institution and we'll send a personalized migration plan — including timeline, feature mapping, and pricing.
No spam, ever. We'll only contact you about your migration assessment.
The semester doesn't wait. Get started with ChallengeMe and keep your students learning through feedback.
