VoiceThread is a communications platform that transforms learning experiences by enabling students to connect with teachers and peers authentically, but without the anxiety-inducing experience of live online interaction found in zoom classes. In a VoiceThread discussion, the interpersonal interactions are just as warm as live sessions but are instead self-paced - giving students and teachers time for thoughtful reflection and practice.
VoiceThread has been awarded ESSA Level IV and Level III certification for its alignment with standards outlined by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and has a proven record of efficacy across a broad range of uses. There is likely no other EdTech tool with as broad a set of applications, nor as much third-party research conducted into efficacy.
The Active User License is an enterprise wide license that provides an unlimited number of user accounts for an entire university but bases your first-year cost on how many VoiceThread users you expect to use. You'll work with an account manager to find the correct first year entry level usage band and then at your renewal, we will use your first-year actual usage data (active users) to adjust your cost upwards or downwards for the following year. An active user is someone who comments, watches, or creates a VoiceThread.
Using this model means that you DO NOT have a cap on accounts within your license period. You can grow your VoiceThread community without worrying about incurring unbudgeted costs.
The license includes:
Automatic account creation
Single Sign-on
Automatic group creation and roster add/drop changes
Assignment builder
Grading interface
Customized training sessions
Expedited support
Management portal and Analytics

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing bills as a contract based on the number of active users at your institution. You choose one tier that matches your expected usage: up to 1000 active users, up to 1500 active users, or up to 2000 active users. Each tier sets a ceiling on how many active users the license covers. Pricing scales with that user ceiling, so a larger population maps to a higher tier. All three tiers cover the same higher education platform; only the active user limit changes.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one 'active user' for billing purposes?
An active user is an account that engages with the platform, where students and instructors speak, annotate, and respond to shared content. Each tier caps how many such users the license covers. Accounts that never engage during the term do not consume your active user allowance.
What happens if our institution's active user count exceeds the tier we selected?
Each tier sets a ceiling on active users. If you expect to pass your chosen limit, you move to a tier with a higher ceiling. The change is not automatic, so pick a tier that matches your expected active population before committing.
Does the tier price cover only students, or instructors and administrators too?
The license counts active users against your chosen ceiling. Instructors create and frame each conversation, while students respond and administrators manage institutional accounts. Any account that actively engages with the platform draws from your active user allowance under the tier you select.
