#SolutionQualityQuality from blind duels on LMArena: users choose between two anonymous answers. A difference of about 20 points is noticeable, a few points is noise. How we measurePriceGDPROur summary of what the provider itself publishes about your data. For a professional tool: whether the data is held in the EU, whether there is a certification or GDPR guarantee, and whether the provider is based in the Netherlands or the EU. For a general model: EU hosting, no training on your data and self-hosting. From Strong to Unknown; Caution only applies to a model with a documented problem. How we measure

Frequently asked questions
Related professions
What is the best AI for education?
It depends on your requirements. Field-specific solutions such as Eduface are built for education; general assistants such as Claude are more broadly usable and cheaper to get started with. At the top of this page you'll find our picks.
What is the difference between a 'field-specific tool' and a 'general assistant'?
A general assistant (such as ChatGPT or Claude) is a clever all-rounder you talk to directly. A field-specific tool is a ready-made product for education, often built on top of such an assistant, with its own subject knowledge, integrations and GDPR arrangements. The 'Quality' column shows which model a tool runs on.
May I use confidential data?
Mind pupil privacy and fair assessment. AI detection is unreliable; make clear agreements about permitted use.
What does the GDPR profile mean?
Our summary of what the provider publishes about data protection: EU hosting, no training on your data, certifications and provenance. 'Strong' = several safeguards published; 'Unknown' = the provider shares little, so ask them. It is a tool, not legal advice.
