The short version
- Each has a real cost: Sana workday completed its acquisition on 4 November 2025, so Sana is now an HCM vendor's capability; if you do not run Workday, the roadmap will be shaped around a platform you do not use and standalone availability is not guaranteed long term.; Schoox high workforce churn punishes any per registered user pricing, and organisations that do not actively archive leavers end up billed for a population far larger than their headcount.
- They diverge on capability: Sana covers Sana Agents, Schoox covers Mobile-first delivery.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Sana
- Workday completed its acquisition on 4 November 2025, so Sana is now an HCM vendor's capability; if you do not run Workday, the roadmap will be shaped around a platform you do not use and standalone availability is not guaranteed long term.
- Answer quality depends entirely on the state of your internal content, so an organisation with contradictory or outdated documents gets a confident assistant citing the wrong version, which is worse than not having one.
- Permission-aware retrieval across many source systems is difficult to get exactly right, and a misconfigured connector can surface content to employees who should not see it, which makes the security review substantial.
- Compliance-heavy training needs, such as certification tracking, regulator-mandated evidence and SCORM-based external content, are handled less thoroughly than in traditional learning management systems built for that purpose.
- Pricing is unpublished and now negotiated in the context of a Workday relationship, which reduces a non-Workday buyer's leverage and makes a like-for-like comparison against a standalone LMS difficult.
Schoox
- High workforce churn punishes any per registered user pricing, and organisations that do not actively archive leavers end up billed for a population far larger than their headcount.
- Enterprise analytics and competency modelling are lighter than in office focused corporate platforms, so buyers arriving from that market find reporting shallower than expected.
- Franchise deployments depend on franchisee cooperation that the franchisor cannot compel, so completion rates vary by location in ways the platform reports but cannot fix.
- Staff use personal phones and personal data allowances in many deployments, which raises fairness and in some jurisdictions legal questions the vendor does not resolve for you.
- Integration with human resources and scheduling systems is where most implementation time goes, and stale employee feeds produce training assigned to leavers and missed for new starters.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Sana: Is Sana still an independent company?
No. Workday completed its acquisition on 4 November 2025 for approximately $1.1bn; the integrated experience begins rolling out in 2026.
Schoox: Why does the pricing unit matter so much here?
Frontline turnover can exceed one hundred per cent a year. Per registered user pricing bills for accumulated accounts, per active user pricing bills only for monthly logins, and the gap between the two can be several times the annual cost.
Sana: Is it an LMS or a search tool?
Both, but the emphasis is on answering questions from your existing content. Traditional course delivery and completion tracking are secondary.
Schoox: Can staff without a company email address use it?
Yes. That is a core design assumption in this segment, and accounts can be provisioned without corporate email.
Sana: Does it work if we are not a Workday customer?
Currently yes, but the product direction now serves Workday's platform strategy, so weigh that in a multi-year commitment.
Schoox: Does it work for franchise networks?
Yes. Central content with local administration by franchisee is a standard configuration, though completion still depends on franchisee cooperation rather than on the software.
Sana: How is it priced?
Per employee per year, unpublished, and increasingly negotiated as part of a Workday agreement.
