Diffit Review

Diffit is a teacher-only AI tool built around differentiation: it rewrites any text to a reading level or language and turns it into activities, tests, slides and lesson kits. Whether it suits you comes down to how mixed your classes are and whether you need the paid plan's exports to Google and Microsoft.

What is Diffit?

Diffit runs on the web and as a Chrome extension that lets you use it anywhere on the web. It is made for teachers, and students have no logins. Individual teachers can use the free Basic plan or Premium, and schools buy Diffit for Schools.

What Diffit makes for teachers

Differentiation is Diffit's core purpose. You paste text, upload a PDF, or drop in a URL or video transcript, and it builds resources from it. Images and web sources also work as input. From there you can use Chat to adjust the reading level, swap out activities, add a teacher guide or translate the content.

• Activities and lesson kits, including a mini lesson, guided notes, practice and exit ticket together, plus sub plans.
• Unit tests with multiple choice, short answer and extended response, and exit tickets.
• Slides with speaker notes and images.
• Writing activities with a prompt, planning organizer and rubric.

Diffit's focus is differentiated resources rather than full lesson plans. It builds resources for teachers and does not take in or grade student work.

Working with students and schools

Students never log in and there is no student AI. Resources are printed or shared, and finished resources can be sent to Google Docs, Slides, Forms, Classroom, Microsoft 365 or downloaded as a printable PDF. PDF download is free, and the Google and Microsoft exports, including the export to Classroom, are on paid plans.

Diffit for Schools is a flat-rate annual subscription tiered by student enrollment, and schools on the paid plan get dedicated support. A help center and a community hub are open to everyone.

Diffit pricing: what each plan gives

The Basic plan is free. It includes PDF download, printing and sharing, and it keeps the resources you made in the last 90 days. Exports to Google, Canva and Microsoft, standards alignment, curriculum grounding and full history need a paid plan. New accounts get a premium trial.

Premium for individual teachers is $12.50 a month billed annually, which is $149.99 a year, or $14.99 billed monthly.

Diffit for Schools is a flat annual price tiered by enrollment, priced by quote.

Privacy and security

Diffit is both FERPA and COPPA compliant. It is a signatory of the National Data Privacy Agreement and also signs the Student Data Privacy Consortium statewide agreements. It has received a Pass from Common Sense Media and carries out annual penetration testing, and it never sells data.

Support for schools on the paid plan is dedicated, while everyone else uses the help center and community hub.

Who Diffit suits

Diffit suits teachers with English language learners, special education students and mixed-ability classes, who need the same text or topic at several reading levels and in several languages. The print-ready layouts and the free Basic plan make it easy to try on one lesson.

It suits less well teachers who want students to use AI themselves or want feedback on student writing, since students have no logins and Diffit does not grade work. Anyone who wants exports to Google or Microsoft will need Premium.
