Where each one falls short

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

LearnUpon

  • Pricing counts registered users, so a partner or customer audience with many dormant accounts pays full price for people who log in once a year, and the finance case degrades as the population grows.
  • The multi-portal design carries administration overhead that a single audience organisation pays for without benefit.
  • Reporting is adequate for completion and compliance and thin for measuring whether training changed behaviour, so organisations needing that add a separate analytics layer.
  • Content authoring is not included at the depth of a dedicated authoring tool, so most customers also licence something like an authoring suite and manage two vendors.
  • Complex competency frameworks, multi year programme structures and academic style progression are not modelled well, which limits it in regulated professions with formal qualification pathways.

Quizlet

  • Free tier limited to basic features; advanced study modes require paid subscription
  • Offline access only on mobile apps, not on web
  • Free version shows ads throughout the platform
  • Cannot export flashcard sets without upgrading to Plus

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

LearnUpon: How is LearnUpon priced?

By registered user tier and the number of portals, quoted rather than published. That unit is not comparable with per active user or per course pricing, so model your own population before comparing quotes.

Quizlet: Does Quizlet have a free version?

Yes. Quizlet's free tier includes unlimited flashcard creation, access to standard study modes like Learn, Flashcards, and Test, and the ability to share sets publicly. However, free users see ads, have limited offline study options, and cannot export sets without upgrading.

Source
LearnUpon: Can customers and employees be kept separate?

Yes, that is the main design point. Separate portals have their own branding, administrators and catalogues, while sharing courses from one library.

Quizlet: What is Quizlet Plus and what does it cost?

Quizlet Plus is the paid plan starting at $2.99 per month when billed annually ($35.99/year) and $7.99-$9.99 when billed monthly. It includes 3 practice tests per month, Q&A solutions, offline access on mobile, and ad-free studying.

Source
LearnUpon: Does it handle recurring compliance training?

Yes. Recertification cycles, automatic reassignment and per user dated completion records are built in and are a common reason for purchase.

Quizlet: Does Quizlet work offline?

Yes, offline study is available on iOS and Android mobile apps. The app automatically saves eight of your most recently used sets, and you can manually download additional sets. Study progress syncs automatically when you reconnect to the internet.
