BalanceBoard vs myHomework
myHomework is a solid homework tracker. But it doesn't sync with Google Classroom, and it doesn't have any wellness tracking. If those matter to you, here's how BalanceBoard compares.

If your school doesn't use Google Classroom, the sync advantage disappears and myHomework's clean interface and cross-platform support make it a strong choice. It's also more established, with a larger user base and longer track record. For students who want a straightforward homework list without wellness features, it works well.
For high school students on Google Classroom, BalanceBoard is the closest direct alternative — with Google Classroom sync that myHomework lacks, plus wellness tracking alongside homework management. For students not on Google Classroom, myHomework remains a solid choice.
Yes. This is the main feature BalanceBoard has that myHomework doesn't. Your assignments and due dates sync from Google Classroom automatically — no manual entry.
