  • Each has a real cost: Moodle self-hosted deployment requires significant IT resources and technical expertise; Revue revue (the newsletter tool, at getrevue.co, not the unrelated revue.com photography magazine) was acquired by Twitter and shut down in January 2023; the Internet Archive's capture of getrevue.co on 3 January 2021 shows it was an editorial newsletter platform used by Vox Media, FastCompany and VentureBeat with subscription, sponsorship and ad-based monetization tools, sold via demo request.
  • They diverge on capability: Moodle covers Course management, Revue covers Newsletter creation.
