  "notes": "(re-verified 2026-09-05 and again 2026-09-30 on their own pricing page) Starter $29/mo (or $24 annually) but with a $5 fee per paid enrollment — still the single most important number in this ladder; Pro Trainer $99/mo, or $79 billed annually, with no enrollment fee; Learning Center $299/mo, or $249 annually; Corporate quoted. The High Volume tier we recorded in August is gone: the ladder is now Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center and Corporate. Annual billing saves 20% and the trial is 30 days. Limits published alongside: 1,000 / 2,000 / 2,000 monthly active learners, 1 / 5 / 25 admins, 300 / 500 / 1,000 AI credits a month, email support 24/5 on Starter against 24/7 above it, and a 99.90% uptime commitment (99.95% on Corporate). All prices exclude VAT, which is added for EU customers unless a valid EU VAT number is given, and your payment gateway (Stripe at about 2.9% + $0.30) charges on top regardless of tier. A branded mobile app is still a separate add-on, but the page now lists it as having multiple price options and prints no amount, so the roughly $149/mo we carried in August is no longer confirmable. Two reading notes: the page opens by asking which of four goals brings you there and recommends a plan on that basis — the figures above were read with the branded-academy goal selected — and the plan cards print their numbers with no currency symbol at all, the only dollar signs on the page sitting on the $5 enrollment fee and the Stripe example. On 2026-09-30 every amount, limit and uptime figure above was unchanged. That day the page also ran a Q4 promotion, 15% off monthly billing for six months on Pro Trainer (84.15 instead of 99) and Learning Center (254.15 instead of 299), stated to end on 30 September 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT. On 2026-10-01 the pricing page moved that deadline to 5 October 2026 at 11:59 PM PDT; it is a short promotion, so do not budget on it.",
