TeachKoala vs Kuraplan
An AI lesson, unit and worksheet planner for Australian and New Zealand teachers.Here's the honest difference — then try both and judge the work itself.
| 🐨 TeachKoala | Kuraplan | |
|---|---|---|
| What one generation makes | A complete lesson kit per generation: illustrated slides with teacher notes, Support/Core/Challenge sheets, quiz with answers | A lesson plan, unit outline or worksheet per tool |
| Curriculum verification | Codes validated against official ACARA v9 data — the generator is structurally unable to invent them | Aligned to AU/NZ curricula (verification approach not published) |
| Unit planning | Whole unit plans in the Queensland adjusted-unit format (achievement standard, assessments, week-by-week grid) | AI unit planner included, outline-style |
| Pricing | Free lesson monthly · Pro A$16.99/mo or A$44.99/term · yearly available | Free · Pro A$9/mo · Schools A$99/teacher/yr |
Where Kuraplan is genuinely strong
- •A genuinely deep free tier — lesson, unit and worksheet planners without paying
- •Covers New Zealand curricula alongside Australian
- •Simple, low Pro price
Where TeachKoala is different on purpose
- •TeachKoala generations are complete kits — illustrated slides with teacher notes, differentiated sheets and a quiz in one pass
- •TeachKoala's codes are enum-constrained against official ACARA v9 data, so an invented code is structurally impossible
- •TeachKoala's unit plans follow the Queensland adjusted-unit document format, built to hand to a HOD
