The short version

  • Only Edpuzzle has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Edpuzzle free tier limited to 20 videos maximum, with no storage increase from deleting; Linewize automated wellbeing flagging produces false positives on ordinary adolescent language, and each false positive is a recorded concern about a named child that the school must then handle and retain.
  • They diverge on capability: Edpuzzle covers Video embedding, Linewize covers Filtering on and off network.
  • 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.

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

Linewize

  • Automated wellbeing flagging produces false positives on ordinary adolescent language, and each false positive is a recorded concern about a named child that the school must then handle and retain.
  • Buying alerting without staffing it is a liability. If nobody reads the queue, the school has created evidence that it was told and did not act.
  • Off site monitoring of school devices extends school visibility into the home, and unless the school publishes the hours and scope, families discover it after the fact rather than at the point of consent.
  • The group sells both the school monitoring platform and a consumer parental control product to the same families, which is a commercial incentive to widen monitoring that the sales conversation will not surface.
  • Consolidation through acquisition means overlapping products from different codebases inside one group, and schools that bought a now acquired product face migration onto the group platform at renewal.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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

Linewize: Is Linewize the same company as Smoothwall and Qustodio?

They are all part of Qoria, the group formerly known as Family Zone Cyber Safety. Product roadmaps and renewals are coordinated at group level.

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.

Linewize: Does it monitor pupils outside school hours?

On school managed devices it can, and the school decides the scope. Define the hours and the data retention period in policy and tell families, because the software will not decide proportionality for you.

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
Linewize: Is it FERPA and COPPA aligned?

For United States deployments it contracts as a school official under FERPA with COPPA consent handled by the district. In the United Kingdom the relevant frameworks are UK GDPR and Keeping Children Safe in Education, which impose different retention and review duties.

Edpuzzle: Can I embed my own voice narration?

Yes, one of Edpuzzle's key features is the ability to add your own voice narration and explanations to any video, making content more personalized for your class.
