The short version
- Only Weet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: edX individual course costs not displayed; pricing requires enrollment to view; 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: edX covers Video lectures, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
edX
- Individual course costs not displayed; pricing requires enrollment to view
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.
