iSpring Free vs. iSpring Suite

The Free version is, of course, available to be used without demanding any charge while the Suite edition requires to be purchased. However, the Free bundle naturally offers fewer tools and features as compared to Suite. For the record, it is only ideal to organize quizzes and courses here.

Produce pleasing demos

iSpring Free grants you the power to easily create the classic PPT slides and convert them into interesting quizzes or course materials. These are presentable enough to be demonstrated in an educational institution. Although for better teaching demos, iSpring Suite is a much more packed software solution that you can consider buying if you need so. On the developer's website, you'll find tutorials and other relevant materials to master the utilization of the program.
