Comparison
Algoryq Learn vs Google Classroom
Classroom is free, everybody already has an account, and it takes four minutes to start. It is also not a system of record, and does not claim to be.
9 rows: 6 favour Algoryq Learn, 3 favour Google Classroom, 0 are even. Every cell about Google Classroom carries the source we read and the date we read it.
What Google Classroom is genuinely good at
Zero friction. Everybody in the building already has a Google account, teachers need no training, and the whole thing works on the first day. For handing out and collecting work, nothing is faster to adopt.
This paragraph comes before the table on purpose. A comparison that gives the other product no wins is an advertisement, and nobody reads one twice.

Stay where you are if…
You need to hand out work, collect it and give feedback, and the rest of the institute is genuinely fine as it is.
People move when…
You need a record that outlives a term: enquiries, fees, attendance a parent can see, a certificate an employer can verify, and an audit trail.

The honest way to decide is to open both.
Ours is a sandbox with seeded data and no signup. Or twenty minutes with somebody who knows it.
Or open the sandbox (opens in a new tab) and click around first. No form.
