iSpring Learn
- The smallest published plan is 100 users at $8,286 a year, so there is no entry point for a small team
- Per user rates fall steeply with volume, from $6.91 a month at 100 users to $3.97 at 500, so smaller buyers pay nearly twice as much per head
- Billing is per active user, defined as anyone who logged in at least once in a month, so a single login costs a full seat
- Plans are sold in fixed user bands rather than by actual headcount
