LearningFlow LearningFlow vs Diffit
Diffit turns a topic, a PDF or a YouTube video into a levelled reading passage with questions and printable activities, and it does that well. LearningFlow covers what happens after: a tool you build yourself, a spreadsheet with formulas, a narrated video, an app, and students with their own accounts.

Choose Diffit if
Choose Diffit when the job is the levelled passage itself, and the review that decides the purchase is the district's data-privacy one.
- A district review that opens with what student data you hold, where the only easy answer is none
- One teacher paying $14.99 a month on a card, with no wish to involve the school finance office
- The same chapter needed at three reading levels and in Spanish before Monday's lesson
Choose LearningFlow if
Choose LearningFlow when the work has to leave the teacher's laptop, reach a class, and come back as something the school keeps.
- A head of department who needs the tools to stay when the teacher who made them leaves in July
- Students who sign in with a join code, do the assignment, and leave a record you can query
- A marking sheet that has to arrive as a working spreadsheet, not a picture of a table
Where the two are built differently.
One part of the job, done well.
This is a good product at what it does. The question for a school is what else is on the invoice: each remaining job is another product, another bill, another set of logins, and a handover you do by hand every time.
Idea to a class that has done it.
One login, one pool of credits, one place the spending shows up. A video drops into a lesson, the lesson becomes an assignment, the assignment writes to a base and an app reads it — nothing is exported and re-imported.
What each one does.
Written from each product's own documentation. Where something is true only on a higher tier, the row says so.
| Diffit | LearningFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the work | Resources sit in the individual teacher's account, and no help article describes transferring or bulk-exporting what a leaver made. | The organisation is stamped on every object when it is created and never moves, so removing a member deletes the membership row and not the work. |
| Student accounts | Every account holder must warrant they are 18 or over and a teacher or administrator, so students work in Google Classroom or on paper instead. | Students get their own accounts, join a class with a code, and receive assignments from their teacher. |
| Choice of AI model | No model picker exists on any tier, and the model behind resource generation is not named in Diffit's public materials. | Flow Designer reaches Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek among others, and the list is not gated by plan or tier. |
| Running it from your own systems | No API, webhooks or developer documentation are published on any plan. | POST to /task/:taskId with an API key, stream the result, and top up credits per key; published apps also take signed webhooks and cron schedules. |
| Push into Google Classroom | One click sends a resource to Google Docs, Slides, Forms or Classroom, or to Word and PowerPoint, on paid plans. | You get the .docx or .pptx file back and upload it yourself; there is no one-click push into Google Classroom. |
| Standards and organisers | Paid plans align output to state standards, skills, MTSS tiers and DOK levels, and ship 60+ graphic organisers such as CER and Cornell Notes. | Nothing in the gallery aligns output to a state standard, an MTSS tier or a DOK level. |
| One source, many reading levels | One source text regenerates at any reading level and in 70+ languages, and Diffit Chat pushes the level up or down in place. | The gallery has text levelling and a YouTube questions tool, but Diffit does one source at many levels and languages better. |
| A record of what a student did | Students cannot hold Diffit accounts, so there is no roster and nothing comes back to you about who read what. | Results go to a learning record store over xAPI. Ingest a package, use the store LearningFlow hosts, or point at the one your organisation already runs. |
A role, not a set of switches.
Everyone inside gets the product. If a feature is not right for a group — thirteen-year-olds, or a department mid-pilot — the answer is to not give them an account at all.
Seven switches, per group.
Year 7 opens the library and can chat. They cannot build apps or reach the database. Change your mind at 9am and it is different at 9.01, for that group only — without removing anyone's account.
What comes with it here.
A spreadsheet, not a picture
Work with AI runs Python and LibreOffice on a real machine, so a marks sheet comes back as an .xlsx whose formulas still recalculate.
A narrated whiteboard video
One sentence becomes a narrated MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, with subtitles off, as a separate .srt file, or burned into the picture.
Apps over one shared database
A consent form, a nightly job and a webhook can sit over one shared database, each with its own contract limited to named tables, named columns and an expiry date.
A tool nobody built yet
The gallery holds 59 ready-made tools, and when the one you need is not there you build it on the canvas, which refuses a connection that would not work.
Where Diffit is the better choice
If the person who decides this purchase is your data-protection lead, Diffit answers the hardest question with a short one. Every account holder must warrant they are 18 or over, so students hold no accounts, there is no class roster to upload and no agreement to negotiate about minors, and the terms that rule out student accounts are public, so your review can read them before you buy. A single teacher who wants Tuesday's chapter at three reading levels and in Spanish is better served by $14.99 a month than by anything we build. Its free Basic tier is permanent rather than a trial, and differentiation is the whole product there, not a setting inside a larger one.
The whole stack against Diffit.
The table above compares the two at the job they share. This one runs every capability past both, because what a school is choosing between is usually a tool that does one job and a workspace that does many. Hover any mark to see what it means, and a partial one to see exactly what is limited.

Before they decide.
Can we keep Diffit and use LearningFlow for the rest?
Yes, and that is the common arrangement. Diffit stays the fastest route to a levelled passage; export it as a PDF or .docx, then paste that passage into a flow or hand it to a class as an assignment. There is no seat count to reconcile between the two, because LearningFlow bills credits rather than seats.
A teacher leaves in July. What happens to what she made?
In Diffit her resources sit in her own account, and the documented offboarding step is Remove User, which removes her premium access; nothing published describes transferring them. In LearningFlow the organisation is stamped on the object at creation and never moves, so removing her deletes the membership row and leaves the work. For tools in the org library, an admin can list the ones whose owner has left and reassign them.
Can results reach our own learning record store?
Yes. LearningFlow ingests an xAPI package, runs a self-hosted record store, or points at the store your organisation already runs. Diffit has no student accounts, so there is no record of who did what for it to send.
Our sources are scanned worksheets and videos. Which tool handles them?
Diffit. It takes an uploaded PDF, a URL, a YouTube video or a book as its source. Work with AI reads the text already stored in a PDF, but the machine it runs on has no internet connection and no character recognition, so a scanned page is just a picture to it.
Can our own software call it?
In LearningFlow, yes. Post to /task/:taskId with an API key, stream the answer back if you want it, top up credits per key and read usage. Published apps also accept signed webhooks and run on a schedule. Diffit publishes no API or webhooks on any plan.
