The short version
- Each has a real cost: Claroline two products share the name and the abandoned original, last released in December 2021, dominates search results, so institutions regularly install unmaintained software believing it is current.; Weet the free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
- They diverge on capability: Claroline covers Workspaces, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Claroline
- A French or Belgian training organisation that needs a francophone platform where the interface and support are French-first rather than translated.not Weet
- A public body required to keep learner data on European infrastructure under an open licence it can audit.not Weet
- A training provider assembling learning paths from a shared library of reusable resources across many client workspaces rather than duplicating courses.not Weet
- An institution already running the abandoned Claroline 13 line that needs to plan a migration onto the maintained Connect codebase before its dependencies become unsupportable.not Weet
Weet
- A life sciences or pharmaceutical team needing auditable GxP compliant training records rather than an untracked video librarynot Claroline
- An internal enablement team converting existing written standard operating procedures into video without filming anythingnot Claroline
- A distributed team building a searchable how to library so the same question is not answered live every weeknot Claroline
- A training function that needs completion statistics and quiz results, not just view countsnot Claroline
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Claroline
- Two products share the name and the abandoned original, last released in December 2021, dominates search results, so institutions regularly install unmaintained software believing it is current.
- The community is small compared with Moodle, so plugin choice, third-party integrations and the pool of people who can administer it in production are all thin.
- Documentation and community discussion are French-first and English coverage is partial and inconsistent, which raises the effort for any non-francophone team.
- The commercial hosting is offered by a small operator rather than a large partner network, so an institution depending on paid support has concentrated supplier risk.
- The workspace and resource model is different enough from a conventional course-based LMS that staff moving from Moodle or Canvas have to relearn how content is organised, and migrations do not map cleanly.
Weet
- The free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
- Quizzes, learning paths, single sign on and GxP compliance are all Enterprise only, so the features that distinguish Weet from a screen recorder are not available on the 24 US dollar Business tier at all.
- Pricing is per creator, so an organisation that wants many occasional contributors pays full price for people who publish twice a year, and in practice content production concentrates on a few seats.
- It competes against Loom and Guidde, which have far larger installed bases and integration ecosystems, so a team standardising on Weet accepts a smaller vendor in a category with heavy consolidation pressure.
- It is not a full learning management system, so an organisation with formal compliance training obligations beyond video completion still needs an LMS alongside it, which undercuts the case for a separate video tool.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Claroline: Which Claroline should I install?
Claroline Connect, the Symfony and React codebase currently on version 15. The original PHP Claroline stopped at 13.1.3 in December 2021 and should not be deployed.
Weet: Is Weet still operating?
Yes. The site and pricing page are live and maintained, and there is no sunset or shutdown notice.
Claroline: Is it still maintained?
Yes. Point releases in the 15.0 line continued into 2026 with active commits on GitHub.
Weet: What does the free plan include?
Up to three weets with AI avatars, recording, editing and transcription. Three is a very low ceiling, so evaluate on Business.
Claroline: Is it free?
The software is GPL and free. Hosted distribution with maintenance and support is a paid service from the commercial operator.
Weet: What is GxP compliance and who needs it?
It is the regulated practice framework used in pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing where training records must be auditable. It is on the Enterprise tier only and is the main reason a regulated company would choose Weet.
Claroline: Does it work in English?
The interface has English, but documentation and community support are French-first, so a non-francophone team will hit gaps.
Weet: Is it a learning management system?
No. It handles video training and quizzes, but formal compliance training programmes need a proper LMS alongside it.
Claroline: How big is the ecosystem compared to Moodle?
Much smaller. If you need a wide plugin market or an easy administrator hiring pool, Moodle is the safer open source choice.
