Veracity Learning

Overview

Veracity Learning is best suited to organizations that need a configurable store and analysis layer for xAPI activity across learning systems. Its strongest case is the combination of analytics, data exchange, and cloud or on-premises deployment; it is a poor fit for buyers seeking a complete LMS.

Key features

Store, query, and analyze learning data

The LRS stores and retrieves xAPI statements, including signatures, binary attachments, and document stores. Default and custom dashboards, a chart builder, advanced graph queries, and support for common xAPI profiles give teams several ways to inspect activity without treating the store as a passive archive. The advanced search API and Veracity Query Language add flexibility for technical users, though this is a data platform rather than a turnkey course-management workflow.

Exchange and manage records

CSV, JSON, and URL-based data dumps support moving records in and out, while statement forwarding between LRSs can connect separate stores. The LRS API can create and remove learners, lessons, and other data objects, or launch content. OpenID Connect support includes Okta, GLUU, and Auth0. The Learner Portal plays content integrated with other applications, but it is not an LMS.

Separate environments and deployment

Multi-tenancy allows separate LRS instances without shared keys, analytics, or databases, useful when different groups need isolated data. The stated tenant limit is five. Customers can use browser-based SaaS, which runs on AWS by default, or install the LRS on their own network. Veracity Lite is a free download for commercial or non-commercial use, but has fewer features than SaaS and on-premises editions. cmi5 is supported.

Pricing

Veracity has a free plan and paid plans from $100 a month. Costs can be paid monthly or in bulk for the year; the listed monthly prices are $100 a month for Starter and $400 a month for Pro.

• Lite (Free): free, up to five LRSs, based on your infrastructure. A free LRS Lite download is also available. Its reduced feature set makes it a sensible starting point when local infrastructure and a smaller feature set are acceptable.
• Free: custom pricing; three LRSs, 100MB storage, 50k–100K xAPI statements, and 10K API calls per day. This gives a smaller cloud allowance than Starter, but no listed price is attached to the plan.
• Starter: $100 a month; five LRSs, 1GB storage, 100K–1M xAPI statements, and 25K API calls per day. It suits teams needing a modest hosted capacity, with statement volume and API calls capped.
• Pro: $400 a month; 10 LRSs, 5GB storage, 1–5M xAPI statements, and 100K API calls per day. The higher limits fit heavier workloads, at four times Starter's monthly price.
• Enterprise (On-Premises): custom pricing, unlimited LRSs, with infrastructure and license based pricing. This is the on-site option for organizations that need more instances.
• White Label: custom pricing, unlimited LRSs, infrastructure and license based.
• Expert: custom pricing, unlimited LRSs, a dedicated server, 30GB storage, 5–30M statements, and unlimited API calls.
• Enterprise: custom pricing, unlimited LRSs, dedicated high-availability, geographically distributed hardware, with storage, statement, and API limits based on infrastructure.

Platforms

Veracity supports API, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and self-hosted use. The cloud option runs in a browser without downloads or installation; self-hosting is available for organizations that want the LRS on their own network.

Who it's for

Its stated markets include government and commercial organizations, with use across corporate, education, government, and other industries. It makes the most sense where teams need to collect xAPI data from multiple sources, analyze it, and control how LRS instances are deployed or separated. Buyers primarily looking for course delivery and administration should choose an LMS instead.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Multiple dashboards, graph queries, and xAPI profile support make the stored activity more useful for analysis.
• Pro: SaaS and on-premises deployment, plus isolated LRS instances, suit organizations with distinct hosting or data-separation needs.
• Pro: Import, export, forwarding, and API tools support integration and data movement.
• Con: The Learner Portal is only a content player, not a full LMS, so it does not replace a learning-management system.
• Con: Starter and Pro impose storage, statement, and daily API limits; higher-capacity options require custom pricing.
• Con: Lite has fewer features than the SaaS and on-premises versions, so its free status does not mean feature parity.

Alternatives

Compare Learning Record Store Software if you want to assess the broader category.

• SQL LRS is a free, Apache 2.0 open-source, self-hosted option; choose it if you prefer that model and can arrange implementation and support separately.
• Mosra is free during its launch period, with unlimited lessons and listed features and exports; its paid plans are planned but not live.
• GrassBlade LRS suits buyers looking for a paid option with a $12 a year Lite plan, 5,000 statements monthly, one instance, and a $7 per 1,000 statement overage fee.
• Sereni LRS offers a free plan with up to 100,000 xAPI statements or events, 1GB storage, unlimited LRSs, and unlimited reporting and analytics; consider it if those free limits fit.
• xh is another free option.
• SCORM Cloud LRS has a free, non-time-based trial with three courses, up to 5GB storage, and 10 resettable registrations; it is worth considering if a trial with those allowances fits your evaluation.
• Cluelabs LRS offers a freemium option with a free plan.
• xSTAGE LRS is a paid alternative with pricing available by contacting Ginger App.

Verdict

Choose Veracity Learning if you need xAPI storage with meaningful analytics and the choice of hosted or on-premises deployment. Its flexible querying and isolated LRS instances are the main reasons to favor it; look elsewhere if you need a full LMS or want uncapped capacity at a published price.
