    Best for: Teachers who assign videos and want proof students watched and understood them

    Free plan + paidWeb, iOS, Android, Browser extension

    57.5

    score / 100

    Why switch from Socrative

    Builds questions into videos so students are checked as they watch, at their own pace.

    Pros

    • Per-student viewing and answer data for each lesson
    • Large library of ready-made lessons plus Edpuzzle's own Originals
    • Live Mode and Student Projects cover in-class use, not just homework

    Cons

    • Free Basic plan limits how many lessons you can store
    • Built around video, so it's weaker for live quiz games than Kahoot or Blooket
    • Aimed at schools; little fit for corporate training
