The short version

  • Only Wakelet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Wakelet free Starter plan caps at 3 collections, 250 items and 1GB storage; YuJa nothing is published, and because the pricing is a bundle against enrolment, comparing YuJa with a video-only competitor requires unpicking which modules you would actually deploy rather than reading two price lists.
  • They diverge on capability: Wakelet covers Content curation, YuJa covers Lumina Video Platform.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Wakelet

  • Teachers and schools curating multimedia collections and student portfoliosnot YuJa

YuJa

  • A public university facing an enforceable web and document accessibility deadline that needs LMS content remediated and a dashboard it can show an auditor.not Wakelet
  • An institution replacing a per-user lecture capture licence where casual recorders push the seat count past what the budget supports.not Wakelet
  • A university that wants captioning, audio description and accessible alternative formats produced natively rather than routed to a third-party captioning vendor per hour.not Wakelet
  • A disability services office and IT department jointly procuring one supplier for accessibility remediation, website scanning and media captioning instead of three contracts.not Wakelet

Where each one falls short

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

Wakelet

  • Free Starter plan caps at 3 collections, 250 items and 1GB storage
  • Education Group plan is billed annually at $160/year for only 1 teacher and 30 students, with extra teachers at $40/year and extra students at $4/year
  • Group plan requires a minimum of 2 seats at $119.99 per seat per year
  • Enterprise plan is yearly billing only

YuJa

  • Nothing is published, and because the pricing is a bundle against enrolment, comparing YuJa with a video-only competitor requires unpicking which modules you would actually deploy rather than reading two price lists.
  • The suite is broad and the modules are not equally mature; buyers who choose it for the accessibility line should evaluate the video and proctoring products separately rather than assuming equivalent quality.
  • Storage and streaming are presented as unlimited, but unlimited in a quoted institutional contract is a negotiated position rather than a technical guarantee, and heavy adopters should get the fair use threshold in writing.
  • Proctoring is contested; student unions and academic staff at many institutions object to automated invigilation, so buying Verity as part of a bundle can trigger a governance argument the video purchase did not anticipate.
  • Bundling concentrates supplier risk: lecture capture, exam integrity and accessibility compliance in one contract means a single renewal negotiation where the institution has very little leverage.
