MasteryMind vs Medly AI

AI marking of handwritten exam answers.

Medly AI is the closest feature match to what MasteryMind is actually for: photograph a written answer, get it marked against the mark scheme. If you are choosing between the two, you are choosing on price, breadth and what happens after the mark — whether the platform schedules the topic to come back, tracks it, and hands your teacher the same picture.

Pricing

Pro £9.99/month, Premium £14.99/month (handwritten marking is on Premium)

When to choose MasteryMind

Pick MasteryMind if you want the marking to lead somewhere — the topic returns on a schedule, the progress is tracked per topic, and a teacher can set the work and see who did it. And if £9.99–£14.99 a month beats the £24.99 Medly was reported to charge in July 2026.

When to choose Medly AI

Pick Medly if handwritten marking is the only thing you want and you would rather not carry a whole revision platform to get it.

Frequently asked questions

How is MasteryMind different from Medly AI?

The marking itself is a similar promise. What differs is everything around it: our marked answers feed a spaced-repetition schedule, a per-topic progress picture, past paper import, NEA coaching and a teacher view — and our vocational coverage runs to 200+ awarding bodies.

Which is cheaper?

On the figures a third-party round-up reported in July 2026 — not read from Medly’s own pricing page — Medly was £24.99/month or £180/year against our £14.99/month Premium, the plan that includes handwritten marking. That is the oldest and the least direct figure on this page, so check their site before deciding.

Can I try handwritten marking without paying?

The free tier gives you 10 questions a day with no card, and it does not include marking. Handwritten marking sits on the Premium plan.
