Genially: cost, fit and limits
Genially is a web-based interactive content tool made by GENIALLY WEB SL in Spain that builds infographics, presentations, quizzes and games with animation and live polling, plus an AI Builder that creates content from a typed prompt.
What to know first
Genially lists Free at 0 euros, Pro at 6 euros a month billed annually, Master at 20 euros and Author for teams at 40 euros per member, with Enterprise quoted. The free plan includes 500 AI credits per year, not per month, and blocks PDF, MP4, JPG and QR downloads. The privacy policy states storage in the EEA.

Who Genially is best for
Teachers and trainers
Quizzes, games and live questions sit beside infographics, so a lesson can mix explanation with a check of understanding in one creation.
Internal communicators
Analytics report visits, responses and interactions for each creation, which helps a team see whether an interactive guide is actually opened.
European buyers with residency rules
The policy says data is stored in the EEA, and prices are shown in euros, which keeps budgeting simple for teams outside the US.

What Genially does
- Interactive layers
- Elements can carry clickable content, hotspots and animation, so an infographic works as an explorable page where a reader opens only the sections that interest them.
- AI Builder
- A prompt becomes a game, quiz or presentation draft. Credits are counted yearly on the free plan, which shapes how often one person can generate.
- Brand Kit
- An uploaded visual identity is applied to every creation with one click, which keeps a team's classroom or company material looking consistent. Teachers can keep one look across lessons.
- Live presentation
- Questions and polls can run in real time during a session, turning an infographic into a participation exercise for a workshop or class. Answers are collected on the spot rather than in a separate survey tool.
- Co-editing
- Several people can edit the same creation and manage the team, which suits departments that produce shared training material. Review rounds happen in the same file, without exporting copies for comments.
How Genially handles your data
The privacy policy states that Genially stores data in the EEA and names AWS as host without giving a region. It says personal data is kept as long as needed for the purpose collected, and that K12 users' personal information is deleted after a year without activity. The policy does not say whether customer content trains models; it describes personalization from template use and searches, which requires consent. ISO 27001 is not claimed, SOC 2 appears only as a footer badge linking to a Trust Center, and GDPR compliance is stated but is not a certification.
Where Genially falls short in practice
- AI credits are yearly on Free. Five hundred credits per year spreads thin across a team or term, and the pages we read do not say how many credits one generation uses.
- Download formats are gated. Free blocks PDF, MP4, JPG and QR downloads, so a printable handout needs at least Pro. Free creations also cannot be hidden from search engines.
- Higher tiers are opaque. Master and Author prices are shown, but their feature lists were not visible, and Enterprise has no price, so mid-tier comparisons need a direct question to the vendor.

Alternatives to Genially
Genially: common questions
How much does Genially cost?
Free is 0 euros a month. Pro is 6 euros a month billed annually, Master is 20 euros and the Author team plan is 40 euros per member per month, all billed annually. Enterprise has no published price. The pricing page was not at the usual address, so we read the plans page.
Are Genially AI credits monthly?
On the free plan, the allowance is 500 AI credits per year, not per month. The pages we read do not state credit allowances for Pro, Master or Author, so ask the vendor before assuming a number. Treat the free allowance as a trial.
Where does Genially store my data?
The privacy policy says Genially stores data in the EEA and names AWS as the host, without giving a region. Buyers with strict residency rules should ask which AWS region is used, and whether backups stay in the same area.
Can Genially export to PDF?
PDF, MP4, JPG and QR downloads are listed as Pro features, so the free plan cannot produce them. If you need a printable infographic, plan for Pro at 6 euros a month billed annually. Cheaper tiers will not produce a printable file, so check this before building a handout for a class or a client meeting.
Does Genially have an API?
The pages we read mention a Developer Center and LMS integration without naming platforms, and we did not check the Developer Center itself. We therefore do not claim API access. Ask the vendor what the Developer Center covers. Until then, treat integrations as unverified.
