ClickView and Edpuzzle at a glance

Content

ClickView offers a huge, curated library of teacher-vetted K-12 videos (including videos produced in-house and the content from the world's best educational producers) mapped to State standards. Edpuzzle's content is mainly teacher-created or from open sources, while its Original Content is aligned to Common Core and is created for elementary schools only.

Quality & safety

ClickView's videos are high-production and ad-free, with strict editorial standards. Everything on ClickView is handpicked and curated by a team of educators. Edpuzzle videos depend on what teachers upload or find – they can include YouTube ads or off-topic material.

Standards-alignment

ClickView lets teachers search by standard codes and filter by grade level and subject. Edpuzzle's Originals are Common Core-aligned for elementary grades, but beyond that teachers must ensure alignment themselves.

Interactivity & analytics

Both platforms allow adding quizzes. Edpuzzle shines for creating interactive videos on the fly from any video teachers choose to upload. ClickView on the other hand provides 1000s of classroom-ready interactive quizzes created by our team of educators, along with powerful analytic tools. Teachers can also turn any video on ClickView into an interactive quiz.

Integrations

ClickView has native integrations (Google, Canvas, Clever, etc.) and apps for mobile/offline use. Edpuzzle also connects to Google Classroom and Canvas, but primarily through LTI links.

Cost

Both products are free at the teacher level, but ClickView's full platform is licensed to schools/districts. Edpuzzle is free for educators; its paid plans (individual or school-wide) are relatively low-cost.

Why choose ClickView over Edpuzzle?

ClickView addresses many of the challenges teachers and districts face when using Edpuzzle.

For teachers

• Video resources: Thousands of ready-to-use videos (K–12) mean less prep time. You don’t have to hunt YouTube for good clips – ClickView has them, complete with built-in interactive quizzes and teaching resources.
• Standards-aligned content: Easily search by topic, grade, or standard. ClickView’s videos are tagged to state standards so you can quickly find the exact video you need.
• Safe, age-appropriate: Content is vetted for accuracy and appropriateness, with no ads or distracting content. Students get a focused learning experience in a controlled environment
• Built-in interactivity: ClickView comes with 1000s of classroom-ready interactive videos, all of which have been made by educators, fact-checked, and aligned to State standards. Teachers can find a vast library of ready-made video quizzes, already vetted by educators. With Edpuzzle, teachers must build each quiz from scratch.
• Deeper analytics: ClickView shows you not just who watched the video, but how each class and school is doing. Identify common misconceptions or topics needing review through actionable data.

For librarians and IT

• Enterprise-level compliance: ClickView meets strict privacy and security standards (e.g. FERPA, COPPA, NY 2-D law). All data is encrypted and stored onshore. You won’t have to worry about random YouTube content or hidden ads bypassing school filters.
• Seamless integration & deployment: ClickView natively integrates with your LMS and SSO (Google, Clever, Canvas, Schoology, etc.). Setup rostering to automatically create and sync both staff and student accounts, and ClickView provides tailored onboarding to fit your systems. Unlike Edpuzzle’s mostly LTI setup, there’s no need to jump between platforms – ClickView just works with your existing infrastructure.
• Reliable Support & Training: Get tailored onboarding from ClickView Support to fit ClickView into your existing systems. ClickView offers unlimited free professional development, so your teachers won’t be left on their own. The feedback from schools and districts that subscribe to ClickView is that our training resources make adoption much smoother.

For school and district leaders

• Cost-effective, scalable solution: ClickView offers school-wide and district-wide licenses, covering all teachers and students. Pricing is on a per-school or per-student basis. Because ClickView is used by 10,000+ schools, you benefit from centralized support. Edpuzzle is free for teachers, but district-level plans still involve per-teacher fees, and support is mainly self-service.
• Curriculum coverage: With ClickView, you have a single platform that spans all grades and subjects. This ensures equity – no grade or subject is left out. If a teacher needs a math video or a history documentary, it’s right there, aligned to your State standards. Edpuzzle’s resources, by comparison, are less uniformly available, especially in non-core subjects.
• Governance & analytics: District admins get dashboards showing how video is being used by staff and students across your district. View usage data, compare performance between schools, and make data-driven decisions. This kind of district-level insight is something Edpuzzle doesn’t provide out of the box. It’s critical for evaluating ROI and directing professional development.

TL;DR

Both ClickView and Edpuzzle let you add quizzes to videos, but they serve different needs. Edpuzzle is great for quickly turning any video into an interactive lesson – it’s easy for teachers to adopt (it’s free and works with YouTube). ClickView, however, is a comprehensive video platform. It offers thousands of high-quality, standards-aligned videos (curated by education experts), not just user-uploaded clips. ClickView ensures all content is safe and ad-free, integrates natively with school systems, and provides robust analytics at class and district scales.

In short: Edpuzzle is strong on interactivity and freedom; ClickView is stronger on content breadth, quality and administrative features.

One last thing you should know

You scrolled all this way so it’s important to understand one big differentiator between ClickView and Edpuzzle.

ClickView does more than just empower teachers with interactive video tools. ClickView is built for teacher, school and district-wide success. Its biggest advantage is that it empowers everyone – not just teachers – with high-quality video resources and powerful video learning features.

With ClickView you get a single, secure platform that covers every grade, meets compliance needs, and grows with your district. In practice, that means fewer gaps in content, less vetting work for teachers, and actionable data for curriculum planning. In short, ClickView turns video learning into a managed, scalable program – something Edpuzzle’s mainly DIY teacher model can’t match.
