Where each one falls short

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

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.

Udacity

  • Expensive compared to many online learning alternatives at $249/month or annual commitments
  • Course certificates lose value after subscription ends if not continuously maintained
  • Limited offline access to course materials
  • May lack breadth of non-tech courses compared to general learning platforms

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Udacity: How is Udacity priced?

Udacity offers subscription-based pricing: $249/month or $846 for 4 months (approximately $212/month with 15% discount). One subscription covers 500+ courses and all 80+ Nanodegree and Executive programs. Month-to-month subscriptions are cancellable anytime.

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.

Udacity: Does Udacity offer degree programs?

Yes, Udacity offers a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence ($199 enrollment fee plus subscription) and MBA in AI Product Management, both priced under $5,000 total, approximately 90% cheaper than traditional programs.

Source
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.
