Teacher-controlled AI spaces for students to practise inside an institution.

Our verdict
SchoolAI is not a family chat: teachers create Spaces, constrain the activity and observe what happens. The free account gives only five Spaces per year, and serious use is sold to the institution.
Best for: Institutions wanting to provide AI inside teacher-defined activities.
What changed this week
Sweep of
No axis movement: SchoolAI still publishes no price for Pro and Scale, same as the previous sweep. Two medium-weight themes are added (compliance not very visible, narrower integration catalogue than MagicSchool), but they are nuances of already-known positioning, not facts that changed the product.
We have tracked it since August 1, 2026: 2 sweeps on record. We publish the latest change here; the full series is not published.
What the internet says
In this second read SchoolAI keeps the same pattern as a week ago, with no public price for the Pro and Scale plans, which are sold through a sales conversation to schools and districts, while the individual teacher's free plan still carries no expiration date and stays limited to 5 Space sessions a year. Independent reviews checked this week add two nuances, FERPA and COPPA compliance documentation is not as visible as the brand's trust page suggests, and the teacher toolkit and integrations are narrower than competitors like MagicSchool, though the student chatbot inside Spaces keeps getting recurring praise for its teacher oversight.
What the web repeats in favour
- Teacher-controlled Spaces with conversation visibility, guardrails and the school's own resources
What the web repeats against
- The free trial limits launches, while governance, LMS and full customisation are sold to schools and districts
- Independent reviews note that FERPA and COPPA compliance documentation is not prominently displayed despite the certifications claimed on the brand's trust page
- The teacher toolkit and its integrations are narrower than competitors like MagicSchool, mostly limited to Chrome and Google Docs

The real-class test
- Start from a source you already use and set level, curriculum and an observable objective.
- Check facts, ambiguity and bias before showing material to students.
- Measure minutes saved after correcting the draft; generating a lot does not necessarily save time.
