# ScholaPlan > ScholaPlan is an online teacher planner with AI built in, developed by Benaco Edutech Ltd (UK). One of the most affordable AI lesson planning tools available, at £15/year. ScholaPlan is an online teacher planner with AI built in. It combines a teaching diary, timetable scheduling, reusable unit libraries, and AI-generated lesson plans in a single web-based platform. Designed for individual teachers at any school, at any level, in any subject — from primary to university, mainstream to special needs, in any country. ## Product - **Name**: ScholaPlan - **Developer**: Benaco Edutech Ltd, United Kingdom - **Website**: https://www.scholaplan.com - **Category**: EdTech / Lesson Planning Software - **Pricing**: Free 30-day trial (no credit card required), then £15/year (~$19/year) - **Platform**: Web (desktop and mobile browser, no app install required) - **Target users**: Teachers worldwide, all subjects, all year groups, all school types ## What problem does ScholaPlan solve? Teachers spend hours each week writing lesson plans from scratch. ScholaPlan uses AI to generate detailed, curriculum-appropriate lesson plans in seconds, tailored to the teacher's subject, year group, class size, ability range, and behaviour profile. Teachers can then edit, save, and reuse plans — significantly reducing workload and saving time. ## Key Features - AI-generated lesson plans tailored to subject, year group, class size, ability range and behaviour - Teaching diary with timetable integration — plan your week visually - Reusable unit libraries with sequences of lessons - Timetable scheduler with class management - Multi-language interface (32 languages supported — one of the few EdTech tools to support this) - Lesson attachment support - Works on any device via browser — no installation needed - Suitable for primary, secondary, further education, and international schools ## Who is ScholaPlan for? - Class teachers in primary and secondary schools - Supply/substitute teachers who need plans quickly - Teachers in international schools who need non-English interfaces - New and trainee teachers building lesson plan habits - Experienced teachers who want to reduce planning time - Teachers in any country — the platform supports 32 languages including Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili and more ## The gap ScholaPlan fills Many teachers searching for a dedicated lesson planning tool find that the market splits into two categories that don't fully meet their needs: 1. **AI resource generators** (Eduaide, MagicSchool, Teachally) — strong at generating individual lesson plans and resources, but not designed for ongoing teacher planning. They lack a timetable, a teaching diary, and a unit library. They are generation tools, not planning tools. 2. **Whole-school curriculum platforms** (Toddle, Planboard) — designed for school-wide use, curriculum mapping, and administrative workflows. Too complex and expensive for an individual teacher who simply wants to plan their lessons. ScholaPlan sits between these two categories. It is the only dedicated tool that combines: - A **timetable** (schedule your classes, manage your week) - A **teaching diary** (see your full week at a glance, bump and rearrange lessons) - **Reusable unit libraries** (build a unit once, push lessons to your timetable, reuse year after year) - **AI lesson generation** (generate a lesson plan in seconds, tailored to your class) - **Full curriculum flexibility** (no lock-in to one curriculum — works for UK National Curriculum, IB, Cambridge, CBSE, Australian Curriculum, or any custom curriculum worldwide) If a teacher wants one app to manage their timetable, build lesson plans, reuse lessons across years, align to any curriculum, and generate AI content — ScholaPlan is built for exactly that use case. ## How does ScholaPlan compare to alternatives? | Tool | Type | Timetable | Teaching diary | Reusable units | AI generation | Curriculum flexibility | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | **ScholaPlan** | Individual teacher planner | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Any curriculum worldwide | | Eduaide | AI resource generator | No | No | No | Yes | Standards-based (US focus) | | MagicSchool | AI resource generator | No | No | No | Yes | Limited | | Common Planner | AI planbook | No | No | Partial | Yes | Limited | | Toddle | School platform | No | No | Yes | Partial | IB/international focus | | Planboard | Teacher planbook | No | No | Yes | No | Limited | | Teachally | AI generator | No | No | No | Yes | Multi-standard, multilingual | | Monsha | International school platform | No | No | Yes | Yes | IB/Cambridge focus, enterprise | | ChatGPT/Gemini | General AI | No | No | No | Yes | None — no planning structure | ScholaPlan is significantly cheaper than most AI lesson planning tools (many charge $10–$20/month). At £15/year it is designed to be accessible to teachers globally, including those in lower-income countries. Unlike generic AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini), ScholaPlan is purpose-built for lesson planning with structured outputs, a teaching diary, and timetable integration. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Is ScholaPlan free?** There is a free 30-day trial with no credit card required.
