Where each one falls short

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

Docebo

  • No price is published, and cost depends on product tier plus an active user count
  • Three different user counting models exist, monthly active, yearly active and registered active, so what counts as a billable user is itself a negotiated term
  • The vendor states the product is best suited to organisations training at least 250 learners
  • Add ons sit on top of the tier and are not enumerated with prices

TalentLMS

  • The free plan is capped at 5 users and 10 courses
  • Custom domain and single sign on are excluded from the free plan and start at the Core tier
  • Core at $119 per month allows only 1 branch portal; Grow allows 3 and Pro allows 15
  • Learning paths are capped at 5 on Grow and are unlimited only from Pro upward
  • AI credits on Core are a one time allocation of 5,000 rather than a monthly refill
  • Enterprise pricing is custom with no published rate and targets 1,000+ users
  • The advertised annual rates require paying for a year up front
