Where Each Shines

Strengths and trade-offs

Flip Education strengths

Custom-built for your classroom, every time

Every Flip lesson is generated fresh for your exact topic, grade, and board. There is no need to search through thousands of results hoping something fits or to adapt a resource built for a foreign curriculum.

Pedagogy built into the structure

Choose from 48 research-backed methodologies like Socratic seminar, jigsaw, or gallery walk. The methodology shapes the entire activity arc, whereas TpT resources use whichever approach the seller preferred.

Free and instant

Generate a complete lesson plan in 60 seconds at no cost. TpT resources often require payment in dollars, and you still need time to browse, evaluate, and adapt them for Indian classrooms.

SEL and curriculum alignment are automatic

Every lesson maps to Social and Emotional Learning competencies and national standards like NCERT. On TpT, you have to manually verify if the alignment suits the Indian context.

Works across 10 countries

Standards from India, the UK, US, and Singapore are built into every generation. While TpT is heavily US-focused, Flip understands the requirements of Indian schools.

Offline-first active learning

Students debate, investigate, and create using printed materials. No expensive devices are required in the classroom: the learning happens through peer interaction, not a screen.

Teachers Pay Teachers strengths

7 million+ resources across every subject

TpT offers an enormous catalogue including worksheets, games, classroom decor, and bulletin boards. If you need materials beyond lesson planning, the selection is vast.

Created by experienced teachers

Every resource is made by a practitioner who has tested it in a real classroom. Peer reviews and ratings help you judge the quality before you commit.

Supporting fellow educators

Purchases directly support teacher-sellers. Many educators value the community aspect and the chance to help colleagues earn an income from their expertise.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Flip Education free?
Yes. You can try Flip Education for free. A free tier is available for regular use, with paid plans for higher volumes.
Can I find the same quality resources on TpT?
TpT has excellent resources created by teachers. However, TpT resources are often generic: built for a different classroom: while Flip generates custom plans tailored to your specific topic, grade, and chosen pedagogy.
Does Flip replace TpT entirely?
Not necessarily. TpT is useful for supplementary materials like classroom decor and games. Flip is purpose-built for generating complete active learning lesson plans. Many teachers use both for different requirements.
How does Flip handle curriculum alignment compared to TpT?
Flip automatically aligns to national curriculum standards, including CBSE/NCERT, during generation. On TpT, alignment depends on the seller's tags, and most resources target US standards.
