  • Each has a real cost: Degreed pricing is entirely quote-based with no public rate card, and third parties report annual floors around 25,000 USD and licence minimums as high as 150 seats, so a mid-sized organisation frequently cannot buy it at any sensible price.; Edpuzzle free tier limited to 20 videos maximum, with no storage increase from deleting
  • They diverge on capability: Degreed covers Content aggregation, Edpuzzle covers Video embedding.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Degreed

  • Pricing is entirely quote-based with no public rate card, and third parties report annual floors around 25,000 USD and licence minimums as high as 150 seats, so a mid-sized organisation frequently cannot buy it at any sensible price.
  • Degreed is a layer, not a replacement: you keep paying for the learning management system that runs compliance training and for the content subscriptions it indexes, so the licence is a third line on top of two you already have.
  • The skills data leans heavily on employee self-assessment, and self-rated skill is a weak signal; if managers do not validate ratings consistently the workforce capability picture that justified the purchase is not reliable enough to make hiring or redeployment decisions on.
  • Adoption is voluntary in most deployments, so unless the organisation ties learning to something consequential, usage decays after the launch campaign and the platform becomes an expensive search box.
  • Integrations with content providers vary in depth: some surface full metadata and completion write-back while others index only titles, so the unified record of learning the business case assumed can be patchy in exactly the sources employees use most.

Edpuzzle

  • Free tier limited to 20 videos maximum, with no storage increase from deleting
  • Primarily focused on K-12; less comprehensive for higher education video management
  • Advanced features require paid plan, limiting free users to basic interactivity

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Degreed: Does Degreed replace our LMS?

No. It is a discovery and skills layer over content. Compliance training, assignment and certification records generally stay in the LMS, and you pay for both.

Edpuzzle: What is the video storage limit on the free Edpuzzle plan?

Free accounts can store up to 20 videos. Deleting videos does not increase the limit. Upgrading to a Pro plan provides unlimited storage.

Degreed: What does Degreed cost?

It is quote-only. Third-party reports put annual floors around 25,000 USD with licence minimums that can reach 150 seats.

Edpuzzle: Can I use videos from YouTube in Edpuzzle?

Yes, Edpuzzle lets you take videos from YouTube, Khan Academy, Crash Course, TED-Ed, and National Geographic, then add interactive elements like questions and annotations.

Source
Degreed: Is the skills data trustworthy?

Only as far as your validation process is. It is built on self-assessment plus peer endorsement, so without manager validation it should not drive redeployment decisions.

Edpuzzle: How much does Edpuzzle Pro cost?

Edpuzzle Pro starts at $12 per month for individuals, or $162 per year. Professional license options are available for schools and districts at custom pricing.

Source
Degreed: Can individuals use it free?
