At a glance
iTutor (itutor.study) is a learning platform built for studying. It answers from your uploaded materials, teaches step by step when you ask it to, remembers what you find hard in each subject, and adds flashcards, quizzes, study plans and voice. ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant that handles a much wider range of tasks.
When to pick what. Use ChatGPT for one-off questions and general conversation. Use iTutor when you want your study materials indexed, your progress tracked over weeks and months, and structured learning artifacts (quizzes, flashcards, study guides, curricula) built from your uploads.

Frequently asked questions
Is iTutor better than ChatGPT for studying?
For structured studying, such as working from uploaded textbooks, exam prep, progress tracking and flashcards, iTutor is built for the job. For general conversation or tasks outside studying, ChatGPT is broader. Many students use both: iTutor for course materials and ChatGPT for everything else.
Does iTutor run on ChatGPT?
iTutor uses a blend of leading AI models, chosen per task; which ones is an implementation detail we keep under the hood. What matters is the product around them: answers grounded in your files, a Teach me mode that checks your understanding, subject memory, flashcards, study plans and voice tutoring, rather than a blank chat box.
Can ChatGPT do everything iTutor does?
ChatGPT can explain, summarize and quiz you inside a conversation, and it has a study mode. What it does not give you is a study workspace: progress tracked per subject, saved flashcard decks, a study plan with spaced review built around your exam date, an LMS for teachers and SCORM export.
Is iTutor free?
Yes, there is a free plan: 30 tutor messages a month, plus flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and study plans with monthly allowances. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month and raise the limits.
