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
Skilljar
- Pricing is an enterprise annual commitment, so a first certification pilot costs more than it can demonstrate and teams should prove the programme elsewhere first.
- The commercial value depends on the Salesforce integration being properly configured, and companies with messy CRM data get engagement reporting joined to accounts that do not reflect reality.
- It is built for external audiences, so using it for internal employee compliance means paying for capability that internal training does not need.
- Content authoring is not a strength, so most customers licence an authoring tool separately and run two content workflows.
- Attribution remains contested. The platform shows that trained accounts renew better, but establishing that training caused the renewal rather than that engaged customers train more is a problem the reporting cannot solve for you.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Free accounts can store up to 20 videos. Deleting videos does not increase the limit. Upgrading to a Pro plan provides unlimited storage.
SourceSkilljar: How is Skilljar different from a corporate LMS?
A corporate learning platform reports on employees for compliance. Skilljar reports on customers for retention and expansion, and writes that activity into the CRM so account teams see it.
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.
SourceSkilljar: Do learners need accounts before they can browse?
No. Catalogues can be public so prospects and customers browse and enrol without a sales conversation, which is a large part of the self serve onboarding case.
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.
SourceSkilljar: Is it worth it for a small customer education team?

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.
