Active Learning for Every Classroom
EdCafe AI
AI EdTech Tool
Same topic. Same AI.
Very different outputs.
With Flip Education
Students use printed materials for a structured jigsaw activity. Each group investigates a different angle, then teaches the class. The timing, handouts, and SEL objectives are all part of one cohesive plan.
With EdCafe AI
The teacher generates a worksheet, a quiz, and a rubric in separate tabs. Each piece is a standalone PDF: connecting them into a meaningful lesson arc is left to the teacher.

Where Flip Leads
What Flip does better
A cohesive lesson, not just a pile of papers
EdCafe generates individual items: a worksheet here, a quiz there. Flip generates a unified lesson experience where objectives, activities, and SEL outcomes are designed to work in harmony.
Built on how students actually learn
Every Flip lesson follows one of 48 research-backed pedagogies. The methodology dictates the activity design and discussion prompts: EdCafe generates content, but Flip designs the learning journey.
SEL integrated by default
Social and Emotional Learning competencies are mapped to every Flip lesson. Teachers find self-awareness and relationship skills woven into the structure without needing extra tools.
Curriculum alignment for Indian classrooms
Standards alignment for 10 countries, including India, is built into the generation process. Teachers get lessons that naturally match their board requirements.
Designed for offline classroom delivery
Flip lessons work perfectly without student devices. Activities are physical: students debate, build, and collaborate. Print-ready materials are a core feature, not an afterthought.

Honest Acknowledgement
Where EdCafe AI wins
We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.
Wide variety of content types
EdCafe covers many individual assets like exit tickets and rubrics. If you only need to produce isolated content pieces quickly, EdCafe fits that workflow.
Fast content generation at scale
For teachers who need a high volume of separate resources in a short time, EdCafe is very efficient. Flip focuses on complete lessons, which requires more thoughtful generation.
Focused on assessment assets
If your immediate requirement is heavy on rubrics or formative check-in tools, EdCafe has a strong focus on these supplementary resources.
