OpenRubric review
A focused judging workspace for shared rubrics, live scores, rankings, and exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenRubric is a web-based judging workspace for hackathon organizers and project event teams. It imports submissions from Devpost or CSV, supports shared weighted rubric configuration, invites judges, and maintains independent scoring records. Autosaved live scoring helps organizers monitor progress while the service calculates track and overall rankings. CSV exports cover submissions, scores, and rankings, giving event teams a structured way to handle results.
Its strongest fit is a managed event workflow that connects submission intake, judging, technical review, and result handling. GitHub integration adds commit timeline review, while AI-generated project summaries provide another way to organize project information during evaluation. Supabase is also listed among its integrations. The web platform keeps access focused on browser-based judging, and the published feature set includes bulk scoring and analytic rubrics rather than holistic rubrics.
OpenRubric uses event-based plans named Partner event and Managed event instead of recurring subscription tiers. The product includes setup, onboarding, live support, and CSV backups as part of its managed event approach. That makes it a practical choice for organizers who want judging infrastructure around a specific hackathon or project event. Teams looking for LMS integration, collaborative rubric authoring, or a broader education assessment system should choose an alternative. OpenRubric is better suited to event teams that value structured scoring, GitHub review, ranking workflows, and exportable results.
