Comparison for higher education · as of November 5, 2026
LehrPuls or Vevox?
Vevox, from the United Kingdom, is a cloud service for universities and companies with many question types, a questions wall, and learning platform integration; since September 2026 it has been part of Wooclap but continues separately for now. LehrPuls runs on the instructor's laptop without an account and without the cloud; participants answer in the browser of their smartphone. On estimation questions, segmentation, and LaTeX the two are level; the differences show in operation, analytics, and the pricing model.
The basis is the competitive analysis for LehrPuls 1.22 dated November 9, 2026. The information on Vevox comes from its public product, help, and pricing pages, last checked on November 5, 2026; the current state at the vendor is what counts. Every LehrPuls feature named here is included in every license.

When Vevox is the better choice
- The learning platform should receive grades through LTI, and instructors should sign in with their university account.
- Polls should run as an add-in in PowerPoint or in Teams and Zoom.
- Asynchronous answering over several days, built-in AI, and sharing sessions with co-hosts (paid plans) are a must.
When LehrPuls is the better choice
- Answers should stay on your own network — no account, no cloud, no data processing agreement; online encrypted via the relay.
- You need fill-in-the-blank, point budgets, image labeling, an idea wall, formula input with equivalence recognition, or sketches and photos as answers — not available in Vevox; two-round Peer Instruction and question blocks with a scenario exist there not at all or only in part.
- You want to know the quality of your questions: discrimination, distractor analysis, quality map, and analysis by topic are missing in Vevox.
- The export is included: in every license instead of paid plans only; Vevox's free plan allows 100 participants without export.
- You want to buy once and teach large groups: €79 one-time for up to 500 participants instead of €101.40 per year for up to 250.
