Skilljar

Pricing is an enterprise annual commitment, so a first certification pilot costs more than it can demonstrate and teams should prove the programme elsewhere first.
The commercial value depends on the Salesforce integration being properly configured, and companies with messy CRM data get engagement reporting joined to accounts that do not reflect reality.
It is built for external audiences, so using it for internal employee compliance means paying for capability that internal training does not need.
Content authoring is not a strength, so most customers licence an authoring tool separately and run two content workflows.
Attribution remains contested. The platform shows that trained accounts renew better, but establishing that training caused the renewal rather than that engaged customers train more is a problem the reporting cannot solve for you.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

ChurnZero: How much does ChurnZero cost?

ChurnZero does not publish pricing online. You must book a demo through their website to discuss rates and plans with the sales team.

Source

Skilljar: How is Skilljar different from a corporate LMS?

A corporate learning platform reports on employees for compliance. Skilljar reports on customers for retention and expansion, and writes that activity into the CRM so account teams see it.

ChurnZero: What is ChurnZero's pricing model?

ChurnZero's pricing model is not publicly disclosed on their website, suggesting custom pricing based on organization size, feature requirements, or usage.

Source

Skilljar: Do learners need accounts before they can browse?

No. Catalogues can be public so prospects and customers browse and enrol without a sales conversation, which is a large part of the self serve onboarding case.

ChurnZero: Does ChurnZero offer a free trial?

Trial terms are not specified on the public website. You must book a demo to inquire about trial availability and evaluate the platform.

Source

Skilljar: Is it worth it for a small customer education team?

Usually not at the start. The contract floor assumes an established programme, so prove the value on a cheaper platform and move once retention or revenue evidence exists.
