Planit Teachers is an AI platform focused on one thing above all — taking the slog out of lesson planning. Here's an honest look at what it does, what it costs, how it handles data, and whether it's right for your primary school.
What is Planit Teachers?
Planit Teachers is an AI-powered planning platform built to cut lesson-prep time. You choose a tool — lesson planner, quiz generator, story writer, marking assistant — enter your topic, year group and preferences, and it produces a personalised draft plus supporting resources in seconds. Its pitch is a comprehensive, age-appropriate resource library for all subjects, with multilingual and SEND support.
What makes it different from ChatGPT?
Like other tool-based platforms, Planit removes the need to know how to prompt — the structure is built in. Its focus is narrower than a sprawling toolkit like MagicSchool: it's centred on planning and the resources that flow from a plan, rather than trying to do everything. For teachers whose main pain point is planning, that focus can be a strength.
What are the tools for?
- Lesson planning — personalised plans from a topic and year group
- Quizzes and assessment — questions and marking support
- Study and pupil resources — supporting materials for lessons
- Differentiation — adapting for different levels and needs
- Multilingual and SEND support — accessibility built in

What does it cost?
Planit Teachers offers a free trial, with pricing for individual teachers, schools and districts. Notably, its headline pricing is largely quote-based rather than published, so you'll usually need to request a figure for a whole-school arrangement. Reported school pricing starts in the region of ~£1,000+/year depending on accounts — check directly for a current quote.
How does it handle data and safety?
As with any AI platform handling school use, apply the standard checks: confirm its GDPR position and data handling before rolling it out, and keep identifying pupil data out of the tools unless genuinely necessary. Planit is a smaller, less UK-institutional product than Teachmate, so due diligence on data is especially worth doing. See using AI responsibly.
One thing to know before you start: Planit's pricing and reviews are less transparent than the bigger players, and its traffic is modest. That doesn't make it bad — but trial it properly on your real planning before committing budget, and compare the output against a UK-native tool.
Who is it right for?
Planit Teachers suits teachers whose single biggest time-sink is planning and who want a focused tool rather than a sprawling toolkit. If you want broad, UK-native workload reduction across many tasks, Teachmate is the stronger all-rounder; if you want free and curriculum-aligned, try Oak's Aila.
