Emaze vs Genially (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Emaze if

• Fits if you want presentations that live as web pages with a link to share
• Works for teachers who qualify for the $1 to $2 education plans

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 5 projects, 3 quizzes and 1 month of analytics
• Pricey if you want premium templates, PowerPoint import or downloads, all on Pro at $9 a user a month
• Skip it if you do not have a .edu or .gov email, as the cheap education plans need one or a separate request
• Watch out: Business is quoted by sales, and the page shows a higher tier above it

Pick Genially if

• Fits if you teach or train and want lessons people click through, not just watch
• Works for eLearning teams publishing courses to an LMS, on the €40 Author plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need a PDF of your work for free, as downloads start at Pro
• Pricey if you want quiz results per student, because tracking needs Master at €20 a month, billed annually
• Not for you if you want prices in dollars up front, since Genially shows euros and prices vary by country
• Tight if you lean on AI on the free plan, as it gets 500 credits a year and image generation starts at Master
• Watch out: Master and Author are billed annually only, and single sign-on and groups need Enterprise

Emaze

• The free Basic plan caps you at 5 projects and 1 month of analytics.
• Premium templates, PowerPoint import and downloads are locked to Pro and above.
• Edu plans need a .edu or .gov email address, or a separate qualification request.

Genially

• The Free plan has no downloads: PDF, JPG and video start at Pro, HTML at Master, and SCORM or xAPI packages at Author.
• Brand kit, metrics, surveys, quizzes and tests need Master or higher, and Master and Author are billed annually only.
• Prices show in euros by default and vary by country; an archived September 2026 copy of Genially's price file lists US prices of $120, $300 and $600 a year for the paid plans.
• Single sign-on, groups, domain restriction and activity history are limited to the Enterprise plan.
