SchEDU vs TeacherHero

SchEDU is a planning tool for teachers that turns subjects and class times into a term schedule and classroom activities. It spaces quizzes, orders performance tasks and exams, and accounts for review buffers and holidays. From lesson content, it can draft quizzes, written work, performance tasks and exams. Teachers can track each section separately, including its pace, plan status and completion. Existing PDFs and photos can supply text for lessons and activities, and uploaded templates let generated documents follow a school format. Activities and exams export as Word or PDF. SchEDU supports DepEd school-year calendars and college prelim-midterm-final terms; department heads can see teachers’ plans and progress in one dashboard. The Free plan includes 2 lesson plans for life, 2 subjects, 1 automated activity or exam per day and full-term auto-planning. Pro is $4.99 a month; Max is $9.99 a month. SchEDU says its Android soft launch is planned for the 2026-2027 school year; plan upgrades are available on the web.

TeacherHero is a web-based AI lesson-planning and instructional-coaching platform for K–12 teachers. It organizes courses into units, weeks, and lessons, then uses that connected curriculum context to generate lesson plans. Generated lessons follow six gradual-release sections: Warm-Up, I Do, We Do, Y’all Do, You Do, and Exit Ticket. Teachers can choose among 24 teaching strategies. Pro adds unit assessments, learning-target alignment checks, lesson audits, differentiation, rewrites, and source enhancements. Lessons can be exported as PDFs, slides, and Google Drive files; listed formats also include PowerPoint and Word. Google sign-in is available, and optional Drive access is limited to files the app creates. TeacherHero says it uses OpenAI’s API for every AI call, does not use curriculum or uploaded materials to train models, and sends uploaded excerpts to AI only after teacher confirmation. The maker says it does not collect student names, records, or work, and the product has no student accounts. A free account is available; Pro costs $8.99 per month after a 7-day free trial and renews monthly until canceled.
