Edpuzzle vs TouchPoint Studio

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.

TouchPoint Studio creates interactive videos with clickable hotspots, buttons, popups, and social links. It accepts video from a local drive, hosted MP4 URLs, YouTube, Vimeo, X/Twitter, and DaVinci Resolve timelines. Hotspots can be text, buttons, images, or invisible masks; popup setups can use booking links, iframe URLs, and add-ons for bookings, signup forms, payments, and reviews. A free DaVinci Resolve plugin for Mac, Windows, and Linux lets users mark hotspot points on a timeline and bring the video into Studio for refinement and publishing. Its Chrome extension can show hotspots on YouTube, Vimeo, and X videos when a TouchPoint code is in the description. The free tier allows unlimited Studio design and one public hotspot live. Usage analytics are listed at $10 per month per video. The separate Video Wall gallery supports TV, Chromecast, and AirPlay viewing but has no analytics. Studio requires desktop access, and its page says new accounts are not being accepted and it will reopen in 2027. The listed Pro plan is $39 a month and Agency is $97 a month; Wall is $5, paid once.
