Veracity Learning

Overview

Veracity Learning is an xAPI learning data platform for organizations that need to collect activity records across systems and work with them centrally. It suits teams that want analytics and deployment control alongside an LRS; its principal trade-off is that content playback does not make it a full LMS.

Cloud hosting keeps access browser-based, while on-premises installation gives organizations the option to run the LRS on their own network. Veracity Lite offers a free download for commercial or non-commercial use, with fewer features than the SaaS and on-premises editions.

Key features

Store, query, and analyze xAPI data

The LRS stores and retrieves xAPI statements, including signatures, binary attachments, and document stores. Default and custom dashboards, a chart builder, graph queries, and support for common xAPI profiles give teams several ways to examine activity. Advanced search, Veracity Query Language, and an LRS API add flexibility for technical users managing learners, lessons, other data objects, or content launches.

Move data and connect services

CSV and JSON imports and exports, URL-based data dumps, and statement forwarding between LRSs support data movement across systems. OpenID Connect integration includes Okta, GLUU, and Auth0. These tools make Veracity a stronger fit for organizations connecting an existing learning-data stack than for buyers looking for a self-contained course platform.

Separate tenants and deployment options

Multi-tenancy supports distinct LRS instances that do not share keys, analytics, or databases, useful when teams or customers need separation. The cloud service runs in a browser without local installation and uses AWS cloud services by default; the on-premises option runs on the customer's network. The Learner Portal plays content for other applications, but does not provide an LMS.

Pricing

Veracity has a free Lite download and paid plans starting at $100 per month. Pricing can be paid monthly or in bulk for the year. The tiers vary substantially in storage, statement volume, daily API calls, and number of LRSs, so the cheapest option is best judged against expected data load and whether self-managed infrastructure is acceptable.

Lite (Free): free, up to 5 LRSs, based on your infrastructure; a free LRS Lite download is also available. It is the entry point for organizations willing to run the software themselves and accept fewer features than the SaaS and on-premises editions.

Free: 3 LRSs, 100MB storage, 50k–100K xAPI statements, and 10K API calls per day; custom pricing. Its caps make it a limited starting tier for small deployments.

Starter: $100 a month for 5 LRSs, 1GB storage, 100K–1M statements, and 25K API calls per day. It raises the limits for a small production use case.

Pro: $400 a month for 10 LRSs, 5GB storage, 1–5M statements, and 100K API calls per day. The higher allowance is aimed at organizations with heavier activity and API usage.

Expert: custom pricing; unlimited LRSs, a dedicated server, 30GB storage, 5–30M statements, and unlimited API calls.

Enterprise: custom pricing; unlimited LRSs on dedicated, high-availability, geographically distributed hardware. Storage, statement, and API limits depend on infrastructure.

Enterprise (On-Premises): custom pricing; unlimited LRSs, with infrastructure and license based pricing.

White Label: custom pricing; unlimited LRSs, with infrastructure and license based pricing.

Platforms

Veracity supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Cloud hosting is browser-based; organizations can also install the LRS on their own premises. Veracity Lite is a downloadable option.

Who it's for

Veracity is a strong candidate for corporate, education, and government teams that need to store and analyze xAPI activity, keep separate LRS environments, or choose between SaaS and on-premises deployment. The company also serves commercial and government markets. Buyers who need a complete LMS should look elsewhere: the Learner Portal is a content player integrated with other applications.

Pros and cons

Pro: Broad xAPI handling, analytics, and query tools make it more than a passive statement store.

Pro: SaaS and on-premises deployment give organizations a choice about where the LRS runs.

Pro: Isolated tenant instances can keep keys, analytics, and databases separate.

Con: The free tiers have meaningful storage, statement, or API limits, and Lite has fewer features than the paid editions.

Con: The Learner Portal is not an LMS, so teams needing course administration must pair it with other software.

Verdict

Choose Veracity Learning if your organization needs a configurable xAPI store with analytics, data exchange, tenant separation, and a choice of cloud or on-premises deployment. Its breadth is the case for paying from $100 per month; look elsewhere if you need an LMS or a free tier with room to grow beyond its stated caps.
