LessonPlan PH vs Lesson Planner (Symph)

Lesson Planner has DepEd partnerships — but we have deeper features.

💰 Freemium — 10 free lesson plans/month, credit top-up
👥 Regional adoption through DepEd Regions VII, VIII, XI

Lesson Planner by Symph has DepEd regional advisories and offers the most format presets in the market — 4A, 5A, 5E, 7E, and MATATAG. But these are all preset formats. You can't upload your school's own template, and you're limited to 10 free plans per month.

The Verdict

Our Take

If you want format variety and DepEd recognition matters to you, Lesson Planner is solid. But LessonPlan PH lets you upload your school's actual template, matches your writing style, gives you an AI copilot, and offers more free plans per month. If your school has its own DLL format, only LessonPlan PH can handle that.
