LessonApp vs Lessonly

LessonApp helps teachers plan lessons, support student engagement, and reduce work outside the classroom. Its tools arrange lessons into pedagogically structured stages and offer research-based teaching methods. Teachers can browse lesson plans from other users; Premium users can keep lessons private and share them in groups. LessonApp says it is not tied to a particular curriculum and follows a socio-constructivist approach. The free Basic Licence includes 50+ teaching methods, up to 10 draft lessons, printing, and the ability to browse and apply others’ plans, with limited access to plans, videos, and pedagogy instructions. Premium costs $99 per year, equivalent to $8.25/month, with a one-year minimum; possible VAT is not included. It adds over 150 teaching methods, unlimited private lessons, full pedagogy instructions and videos, self-assessment, groups, and whole-unit design. Schools can request an offer for Premium features, volume discount, training, and the School Manager Dashboard. The app works on Android, iOS, and web, and requires an internet connection and browser.

Lessonly is a web-based AI lesson-planning platform for teachers and educators in the United Kingdom. Its AI generates curriculum-aligned lesson plans with differentiated content for different key stages. A dashboard supports class groups, student profiles and schedule organization, while teaching guides, progress tracking and a lesson-plan library support ongoing teaching work. The intended users include teachers, tutors, early career teachers and trainees. Listed capabilities include standards alignment, collaboration and AI lesson generation; mobile access is web-only. The free-forever plan costs nothing and does not require a credit card. Lessonly says prompts and generated content are not used to train AI models, though AI providers may retain submitted data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and safety. Account data remains while an account is active and for 30 days after deletion; user content is deleted within 30 days of account deletion. The service is not guaranteed to be continuously available or uninterrupted.
