Where CleverNode is the better pick
- Your homework is not only on Canvas. Calculus on WebAssign, chemistry or physics on Mastering, accounting on McGraw Hill Connect, Office skills on Cengage SAM: Casper does not list any of them. CleverNode was built for exactly these sites.
- Your questions are not simple multiple choice. CleverNode answers a WebAssign question blank by blank, reads WebAssign's graph descriptions so "pick the right graph" works, ranks Mastering's drag and drop items, and answers McGraw Hill journal entries a row at a time. Casper's own site says complex formats need manual entry.
- You do not want to manage a ChatGPT account. With Casper, the answers come from your own ChatGPT account and its limits. With CleverNode the AI is part of the price, and there is nothing else to sign up for.
- You use more than one computer. A Casper license covers one computer. A CleverNode account works wherever you sign in.
- You want to try it first. CleverNode starts you with 10 free questions.
Where Casper may suit you
If your work is mostly Google Forms, or plain Canvas multiple choice, and you already pay for ChatGPT, Casper's weekly plan is a cheap way in. It also fills answers into the fields for you, where CleverNode shows the answer and leaves the choosing to you.
