Veracity Learning is a learning and performance data platform built around the Experience API (xAPI) standard. Its Learning Record Store saves and retrieves xAPI statements, including signatures, binary attachments and document stores. Analytics tools include dashboards, a chart builder, graph query tools and support for common xAPI profiles. Data can be imported or exported as CSV, JSON or URL-based data dumps, and statements can be forwarded between LRSs. The product provides an advanced search API, Veracity Query Language and an LRS API for managing learners, lessons and other data objects or launching content. Separate LRS instances do not share keys, analytics or databases. Customers can use cloud-hosted SaaS in a browser or install the service on their own network; SaaS uses AWS by default. Veracity Lite is a free download with fewer features. The Learner Portal is a content player for integrating with other applications, not an LMS. Starter is listed at $100.00 USD per month; other plans may require a quote or have no listed price.

Veracity Learning: the full review
Veracity Learning centers on xAPI data storage, exchange and analysis, with cloud and on-premises deployment options. Its Learner Portal does not replace an LMS, and plan prices vary in availability.
Veracity Learning suits organizations that need to collect and work with learning activity recorded in xAPI, especially where technical teams want control over data flows or deployment. It brings storage, analytics, and exchange tools together, but it is not a substitute for an LMS.
Overview
At its core, Veracity Learning is a Learning Record Store (LRS) for storing and retrieving xAPI statements. It extends that role with analytics, query tools, and ways to move data between systems. Buyers can use its cloud-hosted service or install the LRS on their own network, making it relevant to both organizations that want a managed service and those that need on-premises deployment.
The Learner Portal plays content integrated with other applications, but it does not provide a full learning-management system. Organizations looking for course administration as their primary tool should choose an LMS instead.
Key features
Store and analyze xAPI data
The LRS handles statements, signatures, binary attachments, and document stores. Default and custom dashboards, a chart builder, advanced graph-query tools, and support for common xAPI profiles give teams several ways to examine activity. That makes the product more than a passive archive, although the emphasis remains on learning data rather than a ready-made course-management workflow.
Query, exchange, and manage records
An advanced search API, Veracity Query Language (VQL), and an LRS API support technical teams that need to query data, manage learners and lessons, or launch content. CSV and JSON exports, URL-based data dumps, imports, and statement forwarding between LRSs provide options for moving records. OpenID Connect support includes Okta, GLUU, and Auth0.
Separate environments and deployment
Separate LRS instances in the multi-tenant architecture do not share keys, analytics, or databases. This is useful when different groups need isolated environments, though the stated tenant limit is five. The SaaS option runs in a browser without downloads or installation and uses AWS cloud services by default; the LRS can also be installed on a customer's network. Veracity Lite is a free download for commercial or non-commercial use, with fewer features than the SaaS and on-premises editions.
Pricing
Veracity Learning uses a freemium model. The plan choices differ substantially in storage, statement volume, API-call allowances, and deployment terms, so buyers should compare those ceilings with their expected activity rather than treat the entry price as the whole cost.
- Lite (Free): 0.00 USD per free, with five LRSs based on your infrastructure; a free LRS Lite download is also available. It gives technically equipped organizations a no-cost way to run the reduced-feature edition, but infrastructure remains their responsibility.
- Free: custom pricing, with three LRSs, 100MB storage, 50k–100K xAPI statements, and 10K API calls per day. This is the smallest hosted-style allowance described, and its caps make it better suited to limited workloads than sustained or growing activity.
- Starter: 100.00 USD per month, with five LRSs, 1GB storage, 100K–1M xAPI statements, and 25K API calls per day. It is the lowest-priced paid option, but the storage and daily-call limits matter for teams with larger datasets or frequent integrations.
- Pro: 400.00 USD per month, with 10 LRSs, 5GB storage, 1–5M xAPI statements, and 100K API calls per day. The higher allowances make it a better fit for larger workloads than Starter, at four times the monthly price.
- Expert: custom pricing for unlimited LRSs on a dedicated server, with 30GB storage, 5–30M xAPI statements, and unlimited API calls. This targets organizations needing dedicated capacity and higher stated volume.
- Enterprise: custom pricing for unlimited LRSs on dedicated, high-availability, geographically distributed hardware; storage, statement, and API limits are based on infrastructure. It fits deployments where availability and distributed infrastructure are priorities, with capacity priced around the deployment.
- Enterprise (On-Premises): custom pricing for unlimited LRSs, based on infrastructure and licensing. It suits organizations that require installation on their own premises.
- White Label: custom pricing for unlimited LRSs, based on infrastructure and licensing. It is an option for buyers seeking a white-label arrangement rather than a standard named tier.
Starter and Pro are billed monthly, and costs can also be paid in bulk for the year. The listed plan terms do not establish a separate annual price. Lite and Free are both no-cost paths, but Lite is tied to your infrastructure while Free carries storage, statement, and API caps.
Platforms
Veracity Learning supports API access and web use, with Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms, as well as self-hosted deployment. The product supports cmi5 and JSON record export.
Who it's for
The product is aimed at organizations that need an xAPI data layer across learning or performance systems, including corporate, education, government, and other industries. Its combination of separate LRS instances, analytics, APIs, and deployment choices is most compelling for teams with technical capacity to manage integrations and data operations. Buyers who mainly need to deliver and administer courses should look for an LMS instead.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Cloud and on-premises deployment let organizations choose between a browser-based service and installation on their own network.
- Pro: Dashboards, charting, graph queries, VQL, and data export and forwarding give teams multiple ways to analyze and move xAPI records.
- Pro: Separate LRS instances do not share keys, analytics, or databases, supporting data isolation between environments.
- Con: The Learner Portal is a content player, not an LMS, so organizations still need another system for learning-management functions.
- Con: Starter and Pro impose storage, statement, and API-call ceilings; organizations exceeding them may need a custom-priced tier.
- Con: Veracity Lite has fewer features than the SaaS and on-premises versions, and its free plan depends on the customer's infrastructure.
Alternatives
Learning Record Store Software is the broader category to compare when you want to review other LRS options.
- SQL LRS is a free, Apache 2.0 open-source, self-hosted option; choose it if open-source licensing and self-hosting matter more than Veracity's described analytics and hosted choices. Implementation and support services are quoted separately.
- Cluelabs LRS is another freemium option with a free plan; consider it when its Android and iOS platform support is a better fit for your environment.
- Mosra is free during its launch period, with unlimited lessons and all listed features and exports; it may suit buyers who prioritize that current free offer, while paid plans are planned but not yet live.
- Sereni LRS offers a free plan with up to 100,000 xAPI statements or events, 1 GB of storage, unlimited LRSs, and unlimited reporting and analytics; choose it if those stated free-tier allowances meet your needs.
- GrassBlade LRS has a paid Lite plan at 12.00 USD per year for 5,000 statements per month and one instance, with a $7 fee per 1,000 statements over the allowance; consider it when that smaller, explicitly priced allowance matches your volume.
- xh is a free option for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android.
- itslearning is a paid LMS with yearly licensing based on users and requirements; choose it when a full LMS is the priority rather than an LRS-centered data platform.
- ADL Open Source LRS is another free option.
Verdict
Choose Veracity Learning if your organization needs an xAPI store with built-in analytics and data exchange, and values a choice between cloud and on-premises deployment. Its strongest reason to buy is the breadth of data tools around the LRS; its clearest reason to look elsewhere is that the Learner Portal is not an LMS, while higher-volume or dedicated deployments move into custom pricing.
