Both products start the same way: you describe what the workshop should achieve and get a timed agenda with methods. The difference is what happens after the agenda. Workshop Weaver hands you handouts and a participant agenda in PDF or DOCX. Metodic builds the rest of the session too.

Scope. Both generate a timed agenda from a goal. Workshop Weaver stops at handouts and a participant agenda in PDF or DOCX. Metodic also generates the worksheets, slides with speaker notes, facilitator guide and participant workbook, lets you run the session live, and exports the whole thing to Miro.
Metodic's library has 700+ curated methods plus 331 workshop activities, each with steps, timing, materials and facilitator tips, and every one of them is publicly documented at metodic.io/facilitation-methods. Workshop Weaver's site lists 488 documented techniques.
Metodic has a free-forever tier: 15 credits when you sign up and 5 more every month, enough for roughly one fully equipped session a month. Workshop Weaver's site offers a 7-day free trial without a credit card; we found no free tier listed.
Yes. Metodic runs as an MCP server, so you can design a session, refine it and generate the materials from inside Claude or ChatGPT, then open it in Metodic to run it. We found no equivalent listed for Workshop Weaver.
