The free version of the application (Netvibes Basic) provides total customization, automatic control on an unlimited amount of apps and reading articles and social media. Paid versions (Netvibes VIP / Evernote Premium) are also available and include many other functionalities, such as advanced search, analytics or support by the service provider.

| Symbaloo |  |
Symbaloo is a virtual desktop application that acts as a browser: it makes it possible to arrange web content and to access this content from any device that has an Internet connection. Thanks to an agreement with the Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (MECD), all Spanish centers in the public education system are granted free access to a Symbaloo PRO account over the 2016-2019 period.
Symbaloo is available for mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and in Windows and Mac desktop versions. A web version is also available. Its free version is different from the paid versions in several aspects: for instance, there is no control panel in the free version and only a webmix at a time may be shared (they cannot be shared simultaneously). Paid versions (PRO and PRO+) include other additional functionalities (exclusive URL address, the possibility to add users and to control access, included Lesson Plans…).
