The short version

  • Only 360Learning has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 360Learning the published Team plan at $8 per user per month covers up to 100 users; beyond that pricing is custom; SkySafari the three tiers are separate purchases, so upgrading from Basic to Plus or Pro later means buying again rather than paying the price difference.
  • They diverge on capability: 360Learning covers Collaborative authoring, SkySafari covers Tiered editions.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

360Learning

  • The published Team plan at $8 per user per month covers up to 100 users; beyond that pricing is custom
  • Business and Enterprise pricing is not published
  • Priority SLA, dedicated technical support and premium onboarding are Enterprise only
  • Business and Enterprise plans are typically annual contracts rather than monthly

SkySafari

  • The three tiers are separate purchases, so upgrading from Basic to Plus or Pro later means buying again rather than paying the price difference.
  • Even the Basic tier costs more than a comparable free or freemium app like Star Walk 2 for a casual user.
  • Telescope control only works with compatible motorised mounts, so it is useless to someone with a manual telescope or no telescope at all.
  • Pricing fluctuates with frequent promotional sales, so the list price is not a reliable guide to what most buyers actually pay.
  • The interface, particularly on the Pro tier, has a steeper learning curve than a simple AR sky map app aimed at casual users.
