Where each one falls short

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

Articulate 360

  • Priced annually per user at $1,749 for Teams and $1,449 for Personal, with no monthly option shown
  • The built-in LMS covers up to 300 active learners; larger audiences need the Reach Pro add-on
  • Learner analytics, API integrations and localisation are all paid add-ons
  • Collaboration features, including co-authoring and shared folders, require the Teams plan

Cyfe

  • Dashboards are the billing unit, at 2 on the $29 Starter plan and 5 on the $39 Standard plan
  • Users are capped separately, at 1 on Starter and 2 on Standard, so a two person team needs the second tier for seats alone
  • Unlimited users only appears on the $119 Premier plan
  • Additional dashboards beyond a plan are $5 each
  • The Agency plan includes 10 clients with further clients at $19 each
