Where Flip Leads
What Flip does better
Methodology-driven lesson design
Flip structures every lesson around one of 48 research-backed pedagogies. Fobizz provides AI tools for content generation, but the pedagogical structure is left to the teacher.
SEL integration from the start
Self-awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making. Every Flip lesson maps to SEL competencies automatically. Fobizz focuses on digital skills, not social-emotional learning.
Offline-first, print-ready design
Flip lessons are built around physical classroom activities: debates, group investigations, gallery walks. Materials are ready to print and use without screens.
International curriculum coverage
Standards alignment across 10 countries. Fobizz is optimized for the German school system. Flip serves teachers in the US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and more.
Zero-friction start
Generate and preview a complete lesson plan in 60 seconds. Fobizz requires registration and school onboarding.
Active learning at the core
Every Flip output is a hands-on experience: students move, debate, create, and collaborate. The lesson format drives deeper engagement than a generated worksheet.
Honest Acknowledgement
Where Fobizz wins
We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.
Built for the German school system
Fobizz is designed specifically for German schools, with GDPR compliance, German-language support, and tools that fit the Bildungsplan framework. Flip covers Germany but is not Germany-specific.
Teacher professional development
Fobizz offers courses and certifications for teachers learning to use digital tools and AI in the classroom. Flip has no professional development offering.
Broad AI toolkit
AI chat assistants, image generators, text-to-speech, video tools. Fobizz provides a Swiss-army-knife set of AI tools for teachers beyond lesson planning.
