The Verdict
Ghostfolio is built for privacy focused investors and self hosters, with a focus on portfolio-tracking and performance-analysis. Moodle targets universities and schools and leads with course-management and quizzes.
Pricing is close: Ghostfolio starts at $5.99/mo versus $9.17/mo for Moodle — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Ghostfolio offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Moodle takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Ghostfolio has a slight overall edge — but if free and open-source matters most to you, Moodle may still be the right call.
