Bujua vs Screencastify
Screencastify is popular in schools, with questions, polls and LMS integrations. Bujua works for classrooms too, with captions and transcripts on every plan, and for teams beyond education.
The short answer
For schools that need LMS integrations, in-video questions and district admin controls, Screencastify is built for that, with Starter at $7 and Pro at $10 per user a month on annual billing. Bujua gives teachers captions, transcripts and summaries on every plan, comments on the exact second and viewer insights, and covers up to 10 recorders for $49 a month.
