In their own words
Jupiter
Jupiter is an open-source Learning Record Store (LRS) for collecting learning activity data using the xAPI and Caliper specifications. Its repository ingests Experience API and Caliper API payloads, and the maker describes it as scalable and fault tolerant. Jupiter includes Metis, an open-source interface for constructing queries and reviewing metrics. Metis presents results as tables or visualizations, exports them in multiple formats, and monitors cluster health with notices about network or hardware failures. The software can be self-hosted. Transcordia also offers Jove, a hosted LRS built on Amazon Web Services and powered by Jupiter; the maker says it can handle tens of thousands of learning events per second. Jove costs nothing for up to 1 million events per year. Above that allowance, the listed price is $1 a month for each 10,000 events per month. The repository identifies an MIT license, and the maker welcomes coding contributions and pull requests. Its stated audience includes educational institutions and research organizations.
Veracity Learning
Veracity Learning is a learning and performance data platform built around the Experience API (xAPI) standard. Its Learning Record Store stores and retrieves xAPI statements, including signatures, binary attachments, and document stores. Analytics include default and custom dashboards, a chart builder, graph query tools, and support for common xAPI profiles. Data can be imported or exported as CSV, JSON, or URL-based data dumps, and statements can be forwarded between LRSs. The product provides an advanced search API, Veracity Query Language, and an LRS API for managing learners, lessons, and other data objects or launching content. Separate LRS instances do not share keys, analytics, or databases. Customers can use cloud-hosted SaaS in a browser or install the product on their own network; the SaaS option uses AWS by default. Veracity Lite is a free download with fewer features. Starter is listed at $100 a month, with 5 LRSs, 1GB storage, 100K–1M xAPI statements, and 25K daily API calls. The Learner Portal is a content player, not an LMS.
