What Snappet does

Snappet (legally Stichting Snappet) is a Dutch educational technology foundation headquartered in Utrecht that provides a cloud-based adaptive learning platform for primary education (basisonderwijs, grades 1-8). The platform delivers curriculum-aligned digital lesson methods for mathematics (rekenen), language (taal), and spelling, with recent expansion into reading comprehension (Begrijpend lezen) and a math fluency module (Automatiseren). Core technology includes a real-time adaptive learning engine that adjusts exercise difficulty to individual student performance, the Learning Goals Wheel (Het Wiel) for visual progress tracking, and an AI-powered teaching assistant (Snappy) plus an AI-enhanced planning dashboard (Copilot) that generate student reports, lesson suggestions, and intervention recommendations grounded in classroom data.

The company operates a freemium product-led growth model: Snappet Start is free with fair-use limits, while paid tiers Snappet Compleet (€74 per learner per school year) and Snappet Vertrouwd (€63 per learner per year under multi-year contracts) provide the full adaptive method with AI support and analytics. Optional physical workbooks (€5-10 per learner per year) and hardware device packages (tablets, Chromebooks) complement the SaaS delivery. Approximately 200 former teachers, education specialists, developers, and subject matter experts build and maintain the platform. Snappet sells directly to schools through self-service registration and consultation-led sales, and is active in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and the USA. The company holds GDPR/AVG and Edu-V compliance certifications verified by SIVON and participates in the NOLAI national AI-in-education lab, positioning itself within Dutch education policy and procurement frameworks.
