The short version

  • Only Weet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Podia mover tier charges 5% transaction fees on all sales; higher tiers offer fee-free processing; 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: Podia covers Course hosting, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Podia

  • Mover tier charges 5% transaction fees on all sales; higher tiers offer fee-free processing
  • Mover plan capped at 50 products maximum; Shaker at 150 products; only Earthquaker offers unlimited
  • Video storage limited by plan: 500 videos (Mover), 1,000 (Shaker), unlimited (Earthquaker)
  • Email subscriber limits tiered: 100 (Mover), 500 (Shaker), 1,000 (Earthquaker); overage model not stated
  • Annual billing required for all plans with 72-hour refund window; partial refunds excluded

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.

Weet: What is GxP compliance and who needs it?

It is the regulated practice framework used in pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing where training records must be auditable. It is on the Enterprise tier only and is the main reason a regulated company would choose Weet.

Weet: Is it a learning management system?

No. It handles video training and quizzes, but formal compliance training programmes need a proper LMS alongside it.
