For budget owners and procurement
Price your team's training before you talk to sales
Some libraries set a minimum spend before they'll say what's included. Our price is $10 per learner a month on the yearly plan, with no minimum seats. The terms you'd sign are on the site too.

What's in the price
Which plan includes what, line by line
Some admins end up building their own reporting on top of the library they bought. Our professional plans include team reports in the price of the seat. Essentials is the library on its own, for teams that run their own LMS.
Have to develop own reporting suite to monitor users and course attendees.

Leavers
Staff turnover won't add seats to your bill
One vendor bills its customers for a year's attrition on top of their headcount. Here a team of 20 that loses 3 people still pays for 20 seats, because each leaver's seat goes to the next hire.

Training budget
It fits in a software engineer's training budget
US companies spent $874 a learner on training in 2025, by one industry survey. A year on our yearly plan takes 14% of that. The rest is still yours to spend.
