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; Sana workday completed its acquisition on 4 November 2025, so Sana is now an HCM vendor's capability; if you do not run Workday, the roadmap will be shaped around a platform you do not use and standalone availability is not guaranteed long term.
  • They diverge on capability: Edpuzzle covers Video embedding, Sana covers Sana Agents.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

  • Video assignmentsnot Sana
  • Formative assessmentnot Sana
  • Remote learningnot Sana

Sana

  • An organisation whose employees repeatedly ask the same policy and process questions in Slack and where the answer already exists in a document nobody findsnot Edpuzzle
  • A Workday customer wanting learning and an internal assistant on the same employee record rather than a separate LMS contractnot Edpuzzle
  • Onboarding at a fast-growing company where content goes stale faster than the training team can rewrite coursesnot Edpuzzle
  • Sales enablement where reps need an answer about a product or a contract term during a call, not a course to complete next weeknot Edpuzzle

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

Sana

  • Workday completed its acquisition on 4 November 2025, so Sana is now an HCM vendor's capability; if you do not run Workday, the roadmap will be shaped around a platform you do not use and standalone availability is not guaranteed long term.
  • Answer quality depends entirely on the state of your internal content, so an organisation with contradictory or outdated documents gets a confident assistant citing the wrong version, which is worse than not having one.
  • Permission-aware retrieval across many source systems is difficult to get exactly right, and a misconfigured connector can surface content to employees who should not see it, which makes the security review substantial.
  • Compliance-heavy training needs, such as certification tracking, regulator-mandated evidence and SCORM-based external content, are handled less thoroughly than in traditional learning management systems built for that purpose.
  • Pricing is unpublished and now negotiated in the context of a Workday relationship, which reduces a non-Workday buyer's leverage and makes a like-for-like comparison against a standalone LMS difficult.
