Comparison
Auliqo vs TimelyGrader
Auliqo and TimelyGrader are both AI grading assistants that keep the instructor in charge of the final grade. Choose Auliqo if you teach on Canvas and want criterion-level scores backed by cited evidence, code and video submissions graded in the same review, and a product and docs fully in Spanish. Choose TimelyGrader if you need a D2L integration or student-facing revision rounds today.

The short version
Both tools draft grades and feedback from a rubric and let the instructor review them. The differences are in what they connect to, what they can read, and how they show their reasoning.
- LMS: Auliqo supports Canvas today, with Moodle and Google Classroom on the roadmap. TimelyGrader says it integrates with Canvas and D2L via API, and lists LMS API integration on its Institution plan.
- Evidence: Auliqo cites the passages, files or moments in the submission behind every criterion score, and flags criteria for manual review when the evidence is thin.
- Submission types: Auliqo reads PDFs (including handwritten scans), code repositories, demo videos, web pages and Google Drive files.
- Language: Auliqo's app, docs and support are available in Spanish and English.
Where Auliqo is different
Auliqo was built for instructors who have to defend every grade. Each criterion score comes with a rationale and citations, so you verify instead of re-grading. When a submission does not contain enough evidence, Auliqo asks for your judgment instead of inventing a number.
It also goes beyond grading: from the modules you already have in Canvas, Auliqo generates quizzes, assignments, pages and study guides that you review before publishing to your course.
Where TimelyGrader may fit better
If your institution runs D2L Brightspace, TimelyGrader lists a D2L integration and Auliqo does not support D2L yet. TimelyGrader also describes multiple rounds of personalized feedback that students can use to revise, and an agreement report comparing AI-suggested and human grades.
