GDPR compliant and FERPA aligned, with COPPA-compliant access for students under 13.
Frequently asked questions
How is Flint priced, and what does the free tier cover?
Flint is free for up to 80 users, who can be students, teachers or administrators. Paid plans are annual per-school bands: $3,000/year up to 150 users, $4,000 up to 250 users, $6,500 up to 500 users, and custom above that. Paid plans add SIS/LMS integration, school-wide analytics and a dedicated customer success manager, and can be billed month-to-month.
Is student data used to train AI models?
No. Flint's security page states student data is never shared with third parties and never used to train AI models, is kept separate for each school, and is not accessible to the AI providers Flint runs on. It says the same rules apply to teacher and administrator data.
Which compliance standards does Flint meet?
Flint states it is GDPR compliant and FERPA aligned, and supports COPPA-compliant use by students under 13 through a school technology waiver that Flint reviews. It also audits its AI components under the EU AI Act. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or FedRAMP attestation is published.
How long does rollout take and what support is included?
Rosters sync in one click from Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Blackbaud, PowerSchool and dozens of other LMS/SIS systems through Edlink. Paid licenses include unlimited professional development, bookable 1-1 onboarding and support calls, and a dedicated customer success manager; live chat is offered 9:00 AM-9:00 PM U.S. Eastern.
Does Flint just give students the answer?
Teachers control the AI's behavior for each activity. By default Flint's AI challenges students with hints and steps rather than handing over answers, nudges them back to the teacher's learning objective, and grounds replies in teacher-uploaded materials. Every student AI interaction is logged and visible to teachers and administrators.
