Why people look past Edpuzzle
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. Edpuzzle has a free tier, and starts at $12/month against a category median of $159/month. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.

What you would be giving up
Edpuzzle is most often brought in for flipped classroom, video assignments, formative assessment, remote learning. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Edpuzzle is broadly right and the question is cost, the Edpuzzle pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Learning Management category lists everything the directory holds, and best learning management tools ranks them.
Edpuzzle runs on web, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
