The short version

  • Only Google Slides has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Google Slides presentation recording and presenter camera embedding are only available on some Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plans, not on the free consumer version; LearnWorlds the $24 Starter plan charges $5 for every paid enrollment, so selling a cheap course can cost more in fees than the plan
