Where Flip Leads
What Flip does better
Lessons, not presentations
Genially creates content for students to look at. Flip creates experiences for students to do. Debates, investigations, design challenges, and Socratic seminars get students actively learning.
Pedagogy shapes the structure
48 research-backed methodologies determine how a lesson unfolds, not a slide template. The format serves the learning objective, not the other way around.
Offline-first design
No projector, no student devices, no internet needed. Flip lessons work with printed handouts and face-to-face interaction in any Indian classroom.
SEL competencies built in
Every Flip lesson maps to social-emotional learning competencies: self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship skills. Genially has no SEL framework.
Standards alignment across 10 countries
Curriculum alignment is built into the generation process for India (CBSE/NCERT), the UK, Australia, and 7 more countries.
Zero design skills needed
Flip generates a complete, print-ready lesson in 60 seconds. No dragging, dropping, or formatting. Enter your topic, pick a methodology, click generate.
Honest Acknowledgement
Where Genially wins
We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.
Visual design flexibility
Genially's drag-and-drop editor creates polished presentations, infographics, and interactive images. Flip does not offer a visual design tool.
Interactive digital content
Hotspots, animations, embedded videos, and gamification elements create engaging on-screen experiences that Flip does not replicate.
Versatility beyond education
Genially serves marketing, corporate training, and creative projects. Flip is built exclusively for classroom teachers.
