Edpuzzle vs Interakly

Edpuzzle is an online learning platform for teachers and educational institutions to assign interactive video lessons and follow student progress. Teachers can choose a YouTube video, upload their own, or reuse another teacher’s lesson, then add voice recordings and questions. The Question Generator can insert multiple-choice or open-ended questions, though it may be unavailable if a video lacks enough information. Students can work at their own pace while teachers check progress in real time. Integrations include learning management systems such as Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, Blackboard, and others. The Google Classroom add-on lets teachers manage assignments there, and students can complete lessons without a separate Edpuzzle account. Progress tracking requires student accounts, except in open classes. Edpuzzle offers web, iOS, and Android apps, plus a Chrome extension for screen recording and importing YouTube videos. The free Basic plan includes 20 interactive activities and 10 supported assignments. Pro Teacher costs $13.75 a month and includes unlimited activities and 120 supported assignments. Extra supported assignments, up to 250 total, cost an additional $19.25/month on annual plans only.

Interakly is a free web platform for turning videos into interactive lessons and presentations. It adds quizzes, polls, hotspots, books, branching paths, and analytics, with 35 interaction types listed across video, quizzes, and interactive images. A lesson workflow can draft an explanation, checks, and a practice game from a teaching topic for review. Creators can use public or unlisted embeddable YouTube videos or upload MP4 files up to 40 minutes. Analytics provide per-question results, completion rates, score distributions, heatmaps, and CSV exports. Learning-management systems can connect through LTI 1.3 and AGS grade passback, while the free plan includes webhooks. Published videos are shared by unique link or iframe, and viewers need no account. Full branching paths and spatial activities such as hotspots require uploaded video; YouTube supports overlay interactions. The responsive interface works on desktop, tablet, and phone. The Free plan lists unlimited uploads and viewers, with all features during early access.
