The short version

  • Only Weet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Echo360 no pricing is published for any component, so institutions cannot benchmark before entering a procurement, and the eventual figure depends on negotiated enrolment bands that vary widely between comparable universities.; 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: Echo360 covers Scheduled lecture capture, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

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

Echo360

  • A university with a legal obligation to caption teaching material, where automatic transcription across every recorded lecture is cheaper than commissioning captions per modulenot Weet
  • A department wanting to see which students stopped watching recordings before a failure point, and to act on it before the examnot Weet
  • A teacher training or nursing programme that needs time-stamped assessor feedback on student performance video, which GoReact is built fornot Weet
  • An institution replacing an ageing clicker estate and wanting polling on the same contract as lecture capture rather than a second vendornot Weet

Weet

  • A life sciences or pharmaceutical team needing auditable GxP compliant training records rather than an untracked video librarynot Echo360
  • An internal enablement team converting existing written standard operating procedures into video without filming anythingnot Echo360
  • A distributed team building a searchable how to library so the same question is not answered live every weeknot Echo360
  • A training function that needs completion statistics and quiz results, not just view countsnot Echo360

Where each one falls short

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

Echo360

  • No pricing is published for any component, so institutions cannot benchmark before entering a procurement, and the eventual figure depends on negotiated enrolment bands that vary widely between comparable universities.
  • The catalogue is assembled from mergers and acquisitions including Turning Technologies and GoReact, so the bundle is not one product: components differ in codebase, support and roadmap attention, and integration between them is uneven.
  • Room capture hardware and installation are priced separately from the software licence and often exceed it in year one, which is regularly missed in budget submissions that only cover the subscription.
  • Private equity ownership through Centre Lane Partners means roadmap and pricing decisions answer to an investment thesis, and universities on multi-year contracts have limited leverage if the strategy changes mid-term.
  • Automatic transcription accuracy on technical lecture content, accented speakers and poor room audio falls well short of what an accessibility obligation strictly requires, so institutions relying on it for compliance usually still pay for human correction on a subset of courses.

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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Echo360: Does Echo360 publish pricing?

No. Every component is quoted, generally as an institution-wide annual licence banded by enrolment, with hardware and installation separate.

Weet: Is Weet still operating?

Yes. The site and pricing page are live and maintained, and there is no sunset or shutdown notice.

Echo360: Is automatic captioning good enough for accessibility compliance?

Not on its own for high-stakes use. Automatic transcription handles search and general access well, but technical vocabulary and poor room audio degrade it, and most institutions budget for human correction where a formal accommodation exists.

Weet: What does the free plan include?

Up to three weets with AI avatars, recording, editing and transcription. Three is a very low ceiling, so evaluate on Business.

Echo360: What did the Turning Technologies merger bring?

The polling and clicker business, now sold as EchoEngage and PointSolutions, which is why polling appears alongside lecture capture on one contract.

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.

Echo360: Is GoReact sold separately?

Yes. GoReact can be bought on its own for a programme such as teacher training, or as part of the wider Echo360 bundle.

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.
