Daisie vs HumHub

Daisie is a creative learning and collaboration platform for people looking to develop skills and creative careers. It offers live interactive workshops every day alongside pre-recorded video lessons that learners can watch on their own schedule. Listed subjects include film, fashion, art, photography, and design, with learning from industry creators. Learners can seek feedback from experts and peers, and the site also invites them to join its Discord community. Courses are online and can be taken from anywhere. Requirements depend on the course: one animation course calls for art equipment, Procreate on iPad, and Photoshop with the Animator’s Toolbar installed on an iPad, Macbook, or PC. That course does not guarantee direct instructor comments on student work. Daisie is available on web and iOS. It offers a free plan and a 7-day trial with full access; the listed Standard subscription is free, billed annually. Subscription refund requests can be sent to [email protected].

HumHub is an open-source intranet and collaboration platform for communication and knowledge sharing. It is intended for company intranets, knowledge bases, project hubs, and customer or partner communities. Built-in tools include personalized dashboards, activity streams, configurable notifications, granular permissions, full-text search, file management, and social interactions. More than 80 optional modules add choices such as News, Messenger, Calendar, LDAP, SAML SSO, surveys, and translation tools. The platform supports private spaces, events, and moderation, with integrations including OnlyOffice, Collabora Online, LDAP, SAML SSO, and a RESTful API. Organizations can host it on their own infrastructure or use managed SaaS on European servers. The maker says its SaaS hosting is GDPR-compliant and uses ISO 27001-certified servers; on-premise users retain data in their own environment. Community Edition is available free under AGPLv3 for self-hosting. Professional Edition is €144 a month, billed monthly, for up to 100 users with SaaS hosting and no onboarding. Networks with 1,000 or more users require a custom quote.
