Read this first (we're biased)
We make Gyanmor, so we're not neutral. To keep this fair, we used only what each app or its maker says in public as of 10 November 2026, and where we couldn't confirm something, the table says 'not stated' instead of guessing. Offers and prices change often, and big companies sometimes run free offers in India, so check before you pay. If we got something wrong, write to us and we'll fix it.
The comparison
| App | Best for | Languages | Tied to your textbook page? | Parent view | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gyanmor | A tutor, tests and practice on the textbook pages you choose | Gujarati, Hindi, English | Yes: Guru answers only from the pages you tap | Yes: progress, every Guru chat, a daily time limit | Free plan; paid from ₹99 a month |
| ChatGPT Study Mode (OpenAI) | Exploring any topic with step-by-step questions | Many, including Hindi | No: you paste or describe the page | No | Free tier; paid plans |
| Gemini Guided Learning (Google) | Learning a topic in steps, with pictures and quizzes | Many, including Hindi | No: you paste or describe the page | No | Free tier; paid plans |
| DIKSHA (Government of India) | Free lessons, videos and practice linked to NCERT and state textbooks | Many Indian languages | Partly: scan the QR code in your book to open its material | Not stated | Free |
| PW (Physics Wallah) | Video classes and coaching batches, with AI doubt help | Hindi, English | Linked to its own courses and books | Not stated | Free videos; paid batches |
What each one is best at
- ChatGPT Study Mode: added in 2025, it asks you questions instead of handing over the answer. Good for exploring a topic in any subject. It doesn't know which page your teacher taught unless you paste it in.
- Gemini Guided Learning: also from 2025, it breaks a topic into steps with pictures and short quizzes. Same limit: it works from what you type or upload, not from your class's page.
- DIKSHA: the government's free platform. Scan the QR code printed in many NCERT and state textbooks to open videos and practice for that chapter, in many Indian languages, even offline.
- PW (Physics Wallah): known for video classes and coaching batches, with an AI tutor called AI Guru in its apps. A good fit if you want lectures and a batch to follow.
- Gyanmor: open a book (or add your board's free textbook PDF), tap up to 5 pages, and Guru answers from them, simply or in depth. Then practise, test yourself and fix your mistakes. Parents can read every chat, and there are no ads.
Where Gyanmor is not the best choice
Gyanmor has no video lectures or coaching batches, so if you learn best from a teacher on video, PW or DIKSHA fits better. For exploring topics far beyond your syllabus, ChatGPT and Gemini are broader. Gyanmor is for learning what your teacher taught, from the same page, in your language, and checking that you really know it.
ChatGPT Study Mode vs Gemini vs Guru, side by sideFor Gujarat board students: the GSEB comparisonHow to choose in one week
- Pick one homework question from today's lesson.
- Ask it in two apps, in the language you think in.
- Check whether the answer matches your textbook or says something else.
- Ask the app to test you on it. Could it?
- Keep the app that made you think, not the one that just gave the answer.
Whatever you choose, use AI to understand, not to copy. Your teacher, your textbook and your own effort still matter most.
