Best Learning Experience Platforms in 2026
Degreed ranks first in learning experience platforms, followed by 360Learning and Continu. Learning experience platforms help employees find and follow training from many sources, with skills data and recommendations instead of only assigned courses.

1. DegreedFirst because it is built around the learner's own feed and skills rather than around course assignment, which is what separates a learning experience platform from an LMS.
2. 360LearningSecond because subject experts write the courses and L&D only reviews them, which keeps a small team's catalog alive without hiring authors.
3. ContinuThird because its AI agent answers learner questions inside Slack, Teams and SMS, which puts learning where employees already work.What is learning experience platforms?
A learning experience platform (LXP) is software that gives employees one place to find, follow and track learning from many sources, including internal courses, purchased libraries and videos. Unlike a traditional learning management system, it leans on recommendations, skills data and self-directed choice rather than only on assigned courses. Most LXPs connect to an HR system, record completions, and report on skills and participation for managers and L&D.
How we ranked these
A company with 50 to 1,000 employees usually does not lack training. It has a catalog in one system, a few subscriptions in another, and recorded sessions in a shared drive, and nobody can say where to send a new analyst on day three.
A learning experience platform tries to fix the finding problem. It pulls content together, recommends it by role and skill, and lets people pick what to learn instead of only receiving assignments.
We ranked eleven products for that buyer. We looked at how fast a small team can reach a live program, what the contract really costs, whether your records can leave, and how much the vendor controls your content.
Several products here are older learning management systems that added experience features, and we say so where it applies. The order is the verdict, and there is no score out of ten.
We wrote each entry from the vendor's own pages and say plainly where a fact could not be confirmed, such as a missing price or an unstated headquarters. That is a finding too: a buyer who has to ask for basics in a sales call should plan for that effort.
Setup: how long until people can find something useful?
We asked how many working days a two-person L&D team needs to go from contract to a platform where a new hire can find role-specific learning. Three things decide it. The first is content: a platform with a library built in, such as Go1 or LinkedIn Learning, is useful on day one, while one that relies on your own authoring starts empty.
The second is sync with your HR system, which keeps roles and managers correct. The third is services: Degreed lists professional services, Continu charges 10% of first-year contract value for implementation, and Docebo expects a trained administrator.
We favored products that a generalist can set up without outside help.
The real price: what the invoice looks like after the quote?
Only 360Learning and Mitti publish prices we could verify, at $8 per user per month for the 360Learning team plan and $24 per seat per month for Mitti Premium on annual billing. The rest are quote-based, and the quote is rarely the whole cost. Docebo sells analytics, AI credits, roleplay and skills as add-ons, Continu adds an implementation fee, and Valamis says in its own pages that the license is seldom the whole bill.
Ask every vendor for a three-year total that includes integrations, content, services and any per-learner overage, and compare those totals rather than the entry price.
Getting your data out: what leaves with you?
A learning platform keeps three things you may need later: course content, completion records and skills data. Courses built to SCORM can move to another system, while content built inside a proprietary authoring tool often cannot. Completion records matter most in regulated industries, where an auditor may ask for proof years after a vendor is dropped.
Before signing, ask for a sample export of learner records in CSV or xAPI, and ask who owns skills data inferred by AI. We rewarded vendors that describe standards, APIs or webhooks on their own pages, and we marked down those that say little about exit.
Independence from the vendor: how tied do you become?
Lock-in in this category comes from content and from data models. A bundled library, as with Go1 and Skillsoft, can disappear from your platform if the subscription ends, leaving gaps in learning paths built on it. A platform that aggregates content from many sources, as Degreed does, lowers that risk because paths point to several suppliers.
Ownership also matters: Mitti is a former EdApp brand now sitting in an operations suite, and EdApp was retired on 31 March 2026, which shows how product lines shift. Check who owns the company and what the contract says about changes of control.
Who it's for: which company gets the most from it?
An LXP pays off for companies with a spread of content and employees who are expected to direct their own growth, usually knowledge-work firms of 200 to 1,000 people. It pays off less for a company whose main need is assigned compliance training, which an LMS such as Valamis or Docebo handles with audit trails. Frontline employers, from retail to logistics, get more from mobile-first tools like Mitti and Fuse.
Very small teams under 50 rarely need a dedicated platform and can start with a content subscription and a spreadsheet of who completed what.

Skills-ledPathwaysContent aggregation
Why #1: First because it is built around the learner's own feed and skills rather than around course assignment, which is what separates a learning experience platform from an LMS.
- Best for
- Skills-led L&D teams with mixed content
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- None
- Headquarters
- United States
- Key features
- Degreed Learning (LXP), Maestro AI-driven learning, Open Library curated pathways, Skills+ skill data, Academies for group learning
- Falls short
- We could not confirm a price, so the first honest cost is a sales call.
- Wrong for
- A team that mostly needs mandatory compliance courses assigned and tracked, or one that needs a published price before talking to sales.
Full assessment of Degreed
Degreed describes its learning product as a learning experience platform, and that is the clearest description of the job in this list: it sits on top of the content you already pay for and gives people one place to find it. Its Open Library supplies curated pathways, Academies handle group programs, and Skills+ turns learning records into skill data a manager can act on.
It leads because a company with several content subscriptions and no wish to rebuild courses gets the most from a layer that unifies them.
Where it falls short
We could not confirm a price, so the first honest cost is a sales call. Degreed also lists professional services next to the software, which hints that rollout takes configuration work.
It is a layer over content and records, so compliance assignment and audit evidence are better covered elsewhere, and the headquarters city was not stated on the pages we opened. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A team that mostly needs mandatory compliance courses assigned and tracked, or one that needs a published price before talking to sales. An LMS such as Docebo or Valamis fits that need better.

Collaborative authoringAI course creationFrance
Why #2: Second because subject experts write the courses and L&D only reviews them, which keeps a small team's catalog alive without hiring authors.
- Best for
- Lean L&D teams that rely on in-house experts
- Pricing
- Per user / month
- Free option
- Free trial
- Headquarters
- France
- Key features
- Expert-led course authoring, AI course and roleplay builder, Learning paths, Skills tracking, Compliance reporting
- Falls short
- It is built as a collaborative LMS, so it is weaker at aggregating third-party content into one personalized feed than a pure learning experience platform.
- Wrong for
- A company that mainly wants to resell or curate external libraries to employees, or one without internal experts willing to author.
Full assessment of 360Learning
The product's bet is that the people who do the work know it best, so it gives them authoring tools and gives L&D an approval step. For a company of 100 to 500 people where sales leads, engineers and ops managers hold the real know-how, that turns scattered tips into reviewed courses quickly.
The published team price and monthly billing make it the easiest paid entry in this list to test, and the French base suits buyers who care about data location.
Where it falls short
It is built as a collaborative LMS, so it is weaker at aggregating third-party content into one personalized feed than a pure learning experience platform. Quality depends on the experts you recruit, and an L&D team without reviewing time will see drafts pile up.
Larger tiers move to quotes, so cost above the team plan is not public. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A company that mainly wants to resell or curate external libraries to employees, or one without internal experts willing to author. Go1 or Degreed suit a content-first approach better.
-
AI agentSlack and TeamsMulti-audience
Why #3: Third because its AI agent answers learner questions inside Slack, Teams and SMS, which puts learning where employees already work.
- Best for
- Slack or Teams centered tech companies
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- None
- Headquarters
- United States
- Key features
- AI course authoring, Learning tracks and journeys, Eddy AI agent in Slack, Teams and SMS, White-labeled portals, Workshops
- Falls short
- The 10% implementation fee on first-year contract value is a real addition to the quote, and nothing is published for a free plan.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who wants a free tier or a fixed price list, or a business whose staff do not use Slack or Teams.
Full assessment of Continu
Continu pricing by monthly active users suits companies where only part of the workforce learns in any given month, and the Growth tier is aimed at organizations below 1,000 active users. The Eddy agent lets an employee ask a question in chat and get pointed to a course, which lowers the barrier for people who never open a learning portal.
White-labeled portals also let customer or partner training run on the same system.
Where it falls short
The 10% implementation fee on first-year contract value is a real addition to the quote, and nothing is published for a free plan. The chat-first approach depends on Slack, Teams or SMS being adopted already, so it gives less to desk-less staff without those tools.
Skills data is thinner than at Degreed. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A buyer who wants a free tier or a fixed price list, or a business whose staff do not use Slack or Teams. Mitti or 360Learning gives a published price to start from.

Skills intelligenceMarketplaceExtended enterprise
Why #4: Fourth: the deepest feature set in the list, with skills intelligence and a marketplace of 30,000+ courses, but packaged for larger organizations.
- Best for
- Upper mid-market firms with a real L&D team
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- None
- Headquarters
- Canada
- Key features
- AI course creator, Skills gap detection, Content marketplace, AI roleplay, Extended enterprise portals
- Falls short
- Modules sold as add-ons make the real price hard to predict, and there is no free trial: the vendor offers a proof of concept instead.
- Wrong for
- A company under about 200 staff without a dedicated LMS administrator.
Full assessment of Docebo
Docebo covers almost every learning scenario, from employee onboarding to selling training to customers, and the breadth is why it appears in so many enterprise shortlists. Skills intelligence flags gaps against roles, the marketplace supplies content on demand, and 400+ integrations mean it connects to the systems a larger HR stack already runs.
It ranks fourth because the same breadth costs setup time that a 100-person company rarely has.
Where it falls short
Modules sold as add-ons make the real price hard to predict, and there is no free trial: the vendor offers a proof of concept instead. Administration takes a trained owner, and the interface carries more options than a small team will touch.
It is a learning management system first, with experience features added on top. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A company under about 200 staff without a dedicated LMS administrator. A lighter product such as 360Learning or Mitti reaches value faster for that profile.
-
Content libraryCompliance coursesIntegrations
Why #5: Fifth because one subscription opens a library from 300+ providers inside the tools employees already use, which solves the content problem before the platform one.
- Best for
- Teams that want to buy content, not build it
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- None
- Headquarters
- Australia
- Key features
- Content from 300+ providers, Courses in 120+ languages, Curated playlists, One subscription for L&D spend, Content discovery in existing tools
- Falls short
- Go1 is a way to buy content more than a place to build it, so authoring is not its focus.
- Wrong for
- A company that needs to teach internal processes, tools or product knowledge, because that material has to be authored by you.
Full assessment of Go1
Go1 starts from the library: one contract gives access to compliance and skills content from over 300 providers in more than 120 languages, which saves an L&D team from signing separate agreements. Curated playlists and discovery inside existing tools mean employees do not have to log into yet another site.
For a buyer whose main fear is an empty catalog, that is the fastest route to a populated platform.
Where it falls short
Go1 is a way to buy content more than a place to build it, so authoring is not its focus. Pricing runs by investment level and a sales call, with no figures published, and security details were not on the homepage we opened.
The library's breadth does not guarantee depth on your own role-specific material. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A company that needs to teach internal processes, tools or product knowledge, because that material has to be authored by you. 360Learning or Continu suit it better.
-
FrontlineMobile appAI assistant
Why #6: Sixth because it blends structured training with feed-style discovery and a mobile app for frontline staff, but offers little public detail on price or security.
- Best for
- Retail and frontline teams needing mobile learning
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- None
- Headquarters
- United Kingdom
- Key features
- LMS replacement, Lyra AI assistant, Mobile app for frontline workers, Compliance tracking and certifications, AI tagging of legacy content
- Falls short
- The homepage names no security certifications and gives no price, so a procurement team has to collect those in a call.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who needs named security certifications visible on the vendor's site before shortlisting, or one that wants a pure content-aggregation LXP.
Full assessment of Fuse
Fuse sells itself as one ecosystem that covers both assigned training and self-directed learning, which suits organizations that want to replace an old LMS without losing compliance records. The mobile app is aimed at frontline workers, and AI tagging helps audit legacy content during a migration.
Its Lyra assistant answers questions on demand, so a store employee can look something up between customers.
Where it falls short
The homepage names no security certifications and gives no price, so a procurement team has to collect those in a call. We could not confirm the headquarters from an opened page, and the results quoted on the site are the vendor's own claims, so we did not use them.
The blend of LMS and LXP can mean it does neither job as deeply as a specialist. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A buyer who needs named security certifications visible on the vendor's site before shortlisting, or one that wants a pure content-aggregation LXP. Valamis or Degreed are the closer matches.
-
ComplianceAudit recordsFinland
Why #7: Seventh because it is a compliance-oriented learning system with an audit record and three clear tiers, more an LMS than an experience layer.
- Best for
- Regulated firms that must prove training
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- Free trial
- Headquarters
- Finland
- Key features
- Role-based learning paths, Skills mapping, Authoring tool, Event management, Mobile app
- Falls short
- The vendor states that the license price is rarely the whole cost, since integrations, migration and services change it.
- Wrong for
- A company that only wants a content library without compliance or audit workflows.
Full assessment of Valamis
Valamis describes itself as an enterprise LMS, and it earns a place here for the learning-path and skills-mapping side rather than for a social feed. Compliance workflows and an audit record of certifications will appeal to companies in regulated industries, and it lists ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
More than 500 integrations, including SAP SuccessFactors, cover the HR plumbing most mid-sized buyers need.
Where it falls short
The vendor states that the license price is rarely the whole cost, since integrations, migration and services change it. Nothing is published per learner, and the free option is a trial or demo arranged through sales.
Because it is an LMS by its own description, it will feel formal next to a feed-driven platform. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A company that only wants a content library without compliance or audit workflows. Go1 gets there with less administration.
-
MicrolearningOfflineFrontline
Why #8: Eighth: very good mobile microlearning with offline lessons and a free tier, but built around frontline operations rather than a full learning platform.
- Best for
- Crews learning on personal phones
- Pricing
- Per seat / month
- Free option
- Free plan
- Headquarters
- Australia
- Key features
- AI course creation from files, 1,000+ editable free courses, Offline mobile lessons, Translation into 100+ languages, Certificate expiry tracking
- Falls short
- It is a mobile training app attached to a frontline operations suite, so skills mapping, career paths and a unified feed over external content are limited.
- Wrong for
- An office-based company that wants career development paths and curated external content in one place.
Full assessment of Mitti Training (formerly EdApp)
Mitti's training product is the cheapest thing in this list to try, because the free plan covers 10 seats and the Premium price is public. Lessons are short, run offline, and can be generated from existing documents with AI, which suits crews who have two minutes between jobs.
Certificate expiry tracking and a training matrix give managers the proof they need without an administrator.
Where it falls short
It is a mobile training app attached to a frontline operations suite, so skills mapping, career paths and a unified feed over external content are limited. EdApp was retired on 31 March 2026 and the features moved into the new brand, so older reviews describe a product that has changed.
Desk-based knowledge workers get little from the format. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
An office-based company that wants career development paths and curated external content in one place. Degreed or Go1 are better matched to that need.

- United States
- Key features
- Program builder for self-paced and cohort courses, Community with events, chat and groups, Gamification, Automations and reporting, AI for quizzes and program generation
- Falls short
- The platform is built around academies and communities, so a corporate LMS feature set is not its focus.
- Wrong for
- An enterprise team that needs SCORM-level compliance tracking and audit reports.
Full assessment of DISCO
DISCO is worth a look when learning is a social, cohort-based activity: a leadership program, a new-manager academy or a customer education hub. It combines a course builder with community features, live events and gamification, and AI helps draft quizzes and programs.
The integrations with Slack and Zoom let a cohort stay in the tools it already uses.
Where it falls short
The platform is built around academies and communities, so a corporate LMS feature set is not its focus. We did not open a pricing page and could not confirm the headquarters from the vendor's site.
Security measures were not described on the homepage, which a security review will want answered in writing. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
An enterprise team that needs SCORM-level compliance tracking and audit reports. Valamis or Docebo are the safer picks.

Major vendorContent libraryCoaching
Why #10: Tenth as a major vendor: a large content and coaching catalog, but Percipio is one of several product lines and the sales motion is enterprise-sized.
- Best for
- Large employers buying a broad content library
- Pricing
- Quote only
- Free option
- Free trial
- Headquarters
- United States
- Key features
- Percipio platform, Coaching: one-on-one, group and AI-powered, Codecademy for Enterprise, Instructor-led tech training, Content Marketplace for curated paths
- Falls short
- The homepage lists many product lines, and the learning experience platform is one of several, so the buying conversation covers more than most mid-sized companies need.
- Wrong for
- A company under a few hundred staff that wants a published price and a quick start.
Full assessment of Skillsoft Percipio
Skillsoft presents itself as an AI-native skills management platform, and Percipio is the learning layer sold with its content library. The attraction is breadth: coaching, hands-on tech training through Codecademy for Enterprise and a marketplace of curated learning paths come from one supplier.
Large employers that want one vendor for catalog and coaching will find the package complete.
Where it falls short
The homepage lists many product lines, and the learning experience platform is one of several, so the buying conversation covers more than most mid-sized companies need. No price is published.
A broad catalog is also not the same as a catalog of your own material, so you will still need a way to host internal content. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A company under a few hundred staff that wants a published price and a quick start. Mitti or 360Learning are lighter and clearer on cost.

Major vendorCourse libraryCertificates
Why #11: Eleventh as a major vendor: a big professional course library with skill evaluations, but it offers no way to host your own material in the pages we reached.
- Best for
- Companies adding a content subscription to existing tools
- Pricing
- Quote only

- Key features
- 26,600+ courses, 1,300+ learning paths, Skill Evaluations, Role Guides for 35+ roles, Subtitles in 20+ languages

- No price is shown on the page, so cost depends on a sales conversation.
- Wrong for
- A team that needs to author its own courses or track mandatory training with audit evidence.
Full assessment of LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning is the simplest content subscription to add: a library of over 26,600 courses and 1,300 learning paths, with role guides for more than 35 roles and subtitles in 20 or more languages. Skill Evaluations and career goals give employees a reason to return, and partner-issued professional certificates add a credential.
It works best as the content supply behind a platform, not as the platform.
Where it falls short
No price is shown on the page, so cost depends on a sales conversation. The vendor's own page offers little about custom content, compliance workflows or admin reporting.
A library is generic by nature, so process and product knowledge unique to your company has to live somewhere else. Confirm the point in a trial before you rely on it.
Wrong for
A team that needs to author its own courses or track mandatory training with audit evidence. 360Learning or Docebo carry that load better.
What the data says about this market
Eleven products are in this ranking, and three of them are majors that cannot take the top places: two content-led enterprise suppliers and one professional network's library. Of the eleven, only two (360Learning and Mitti) publish a price we could confirm on the vendor's own pages, and the other nine sell by quote or contact. Four are based in the United States, two in Australia, and one each in Canada, Finland, France and the United Kingdom.
The line between LMS and LXP has blurred. Valamis calls itself an enterprise LMS, Fuse describes a mix of LMS and LXP, and Docebo and Continu began as learning management systems before adding AI and skills features. Only Degreed describes its learning product as a learning experience platform.
For a buyer this means the label on the website is a weak guide, and a demo using your own roles and content is a better test.
Content supply is the other clear split. Go1, LinkedIn Learning and Skillsoft sell libraries, 360Learning and Continu help you build your own, and Degreed and Docebo can aggregate both. LinkedIn Learning lists more than 26,600 courses and Go1 lists content from more than 300 providers on their own pages.
Library size is a vendor-reported number, and it does not tell you whether the material fits your roles.
Skills data is the newest layer. Degreed lists Skills+ and Docebo lists skills intelligence, while Valamis offers skills mapping and 360Learning offers skills tracking. The claim is that learning records can show which skills a team has and where gaps sit.
Treat it as a feature to test with your own roles, because the quality of the output depends on how well your job data is kept and on who maintains the skill definitions after launch. Ask each vendor to show a gap report for one real team.
How to choose
1. Decide where your content comes from
Start with the content question, because it decides which products stay on the shortlist. If you have subject experts and little time to curate, 360Learning or Continu fit. If you want to buy content and unify what you already own, look at Degreed, Go1 or Docebo.
If most of your need is mandatory training with proof, an LMS such as Valamis fits better. Write down how many courses you will author in year one, how many you will buy, and who owns the work, then drop any product that does not match that split.
Also decide whether the platform must double as your compliance system, because that single requirement removes most pure experience layers from the list and brings Valamis and Docebo forward.
2. Test with your own roles and records
Ask each finalist to set up three real roles, such as a new sales hire, a team lead and a frontline employee, using your own course titles and a sample of your HR export. Watch how long it takes and who does the work. Check that completion records, certificate expiry and manager reports behave the way your auditor expects.
Ask for a sample export of learner data in a standard format. A vendor that avoids this test during the sales phase is likely to be slower after signing.
Include one skeptical user in the trial, such as a team lead who dislikes training portals, and ask whether they would open the product on their own. Adoption is the number that decides whether the spend was worth it, and a demo run by the vendor's best presenter rarely shows it.
3. Compare a three-year total, not the entry price
Request a written three-year quote that lists the license, implementation, integrations, content, support tier and any overage by learner count. Add the internal hours of the administrator and the authors. Check the notice period, the change-of-control terms and the export rights.
For a company under 200 staff the smaller, published-price products often win on total cost, and for larger groups the breadth of Docebo or Degreed may justify the services spend. Ask the vendor which items in the quote are optional, and what the renewal uplift is in year two and year three, since entry discounts often fade.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best learning experience platform in 2026?
Degreed ranks first for a 50 to 1,000 person company that wants one place to find learning from several sources, with skills data on top. 360Learning is the better pick if your experts should write the courses, and Continu fits teams that live in Slack or Teams. Pricing for Degreed was not confirmed on the pages we opened, so ask for a written quote before you decide.
What is a learning experience platform?
A learning experience platform is software that gives employees one place to find and follow learning from many sources. It recommends content by role and skill, and lets people choose what to study. It differs from a learning management system, which mainly assigns courses and records completion, although many vendors now offer both in one product.
What is the difference between an LXP and an LMS?
An LMS assigns and tracks training, and is the stronger tool for mandatory courses with certificate expiry and audit records. An LXP focuses on discovery, recommendations and skills. In practice the labels overlap, since Valamis calls itself an LMS and Fuse mixes both.
Judge each product by the jobs it does in a demo.
How much do learning experience platforms cost?
Most vendors quote prices. In our list, 360Learning publishes $8 per user per month for its team plan up to 100 users, and Mitti Premium costs $24 per seat per month on annual billing. Docebo, Continu, Go1, Valamis and others are quote-based, so ask for a three-year total with services and content included.
Which platform is best for a company with 100 employees?
360Learning is the strongest fit, because its published team plan covers up to 100 users and experts can build courses without a large L&D team. Mitti is cheaper to test, with a free plan for 10 seats, but suits frontline crews more than office staff. Docebo and Skillsoft are sized for larger organizations.
Which platform is best for frontline employees?
Mitti Training is the best fit here, with offline mobile lessons, translation into 100+ languages and certificate expiry tracking. Fuse also offers a mobile app for frontline workers and a compliance tracker. Both work on a phone, which matters when staff have no company email or desk.
Can an LXP replace our LMS?
Sometimes, but check compliance first. If you need certificate expiry, audit evidence and mandatory assignments, confirm that the LXP records them in a form your auditor accepts. Fuse presents itself as an LMS replacement, and Valamis and Docebo are LMS products that add experience features.
Many companies keep an LMS for compliance and add an LXP for development. Run both systems in parallel for one compliance cycle before you retire the old one.
Do these platforms include course content?
Some do. Go1 gives access to content from over 300 providers, LinkedIn Learning lists more than 26,600 courses, and Skillsoft sells a library with coaching. 360Learning, Continu and Valamis include authoring tools so you can build your own.
Degreed and Docebo can combine both sources, so ask what is bundled and what costs extra. Check whether translated content, premium partner courses and certificates carry a separate fee, because library access and credential programs are often sold separately.
How long does implementation take?
It depends more on your HR data and content than on the product. A small team using a library-led product can be live within weeks, while an enterprise platform with HR sync, single sign-on and migrated records often takes a quarter or more. Ask each vendor for a named project plan and for the cost of services, which Continu states as 10% of first-year contract value.
Build in two weeks of internal testing before launch, and plan a pilot group of 30 to 50 people so that problems with roles, managers or content show up before the whole company sees them.
What should we ask about data export?
Ask for a sample export of learner records in CSV or xAPI, whether courses can leave as SCORM, who owns skills data inferred by AI, and how long data stays after cancellation. Valamis lists an audit record of certifications, which makes export questions especially relevant for regulated companies. Get the answers in the contract, not only on a call.
Also ask for the vendor's data-processing terms, since learner records count as personal data under GDPR.
Are the vendors in this ranking paid to be listed?
Vendors can pay for more visibility; paid placements are labeled and explained in our disclosure. No commission is earned on clicks or purchases, and we do not work as an affiliate. The order on this page reflects our judgment for a buyer with 50 to 1,000 employees, and the two major vendors are kept out of the top three by rule.
