Choose Oral, SaaS, or private deploy

Three delivery options — full teaching product (SaaS / private) vs embeddable speaking (Oral).

Audience: decision makers / buyers · Applies to: selection

Goal: Choose by whether you already have a product and whether you need a full teaching suite.

How to choose

Your situation	Better fit	Next step
No teaching suite of your own; want to start quickly, platform-hosted	SaaS	Trial signup
Need the full teaching product in your own data center / dedicated cloud	Private deploy	Prep before deploy
Already have an LMS / app / content site; only need speaking practice and exams inside it	DodoSpeak Oral	What to prepare before you start

The three can coexist. Example: the school uses SaaS for teaching, while another product line embeds Oral.

The short table also lives under Quick start: SaaS, private deploy, and Oral. Oral is an Embedded AI Speaking Module; see What is DodoSpeak Oral.

	SaaS	Private deploy	Oral
What you buy	Full speaking teaching site	Same product, different deploy and data boundary	Embeddable speaking (API + Embed)
Who owns accounts	Org teachers and students on the platform	Same, in the customer environment	Your own identity system
What learners see	The DodoSpeak App	Same (domain/brand per contract)	Your product shell plus embedded practice/exam pages
Typical buyer	Schools that need to start teaching quickly	Strong compliance / data residency	Teams that already have a system and only need speaking

Private deploy ≠ a private edition of Oral. Private deploy is still the full teaching site. Oral is capability embed. Putting Oral in a customer data center is a separate project.
Oral ≠ iframe the whole admin console. You embed practice, tasks, History, and exams.
Oral Console’s four roles ≠ App student / teacher / organization. Console is Learner / Publisher / Manager / Developer, for integration contrast only. Production roles stay yours.
