Skilljar
An external LMS, now sold as Skilljar by Gainsight, built for branded customer and partner academies with certifications, commerce and CRM integrations.
skilljar.com8.5
out of 10
Best for: SaaS companies running a public customer and partner academy
Skilljar is the reference product for customer education teams at software companies. Gainsight now sells it as Skilljar by Gainsight, and the Gainsight customer education page presents it as the company's academy product, so it pairs with Gainsight CS for teams that want to tie course completions to adoption and renewal data. Every plan includes a branded Academy site, a low-code page builder, learner SSO, virtual instructor-led training, certifications and automated learner emails. Professional adds a second Academy, admin SSO, content syndication into customers' own LMSs and external management for resellers. Certification programs can use proctored exams, badges and re-certification flows, and a Stripe integration handles paid training in more than 100 currencies. The trade-off is cost transparency. Skilljar charges an annual subscription plus a fee per active user, and it publishes neither number. Add-ons such as the Data Connector, starting at $25k, raise the total for teams that want learning data in a warehouse.
Standout feature
Skilljar is the best choice for SaaS academies because every plan includes learner SSO, certifications and an Implementation Manager.
Use cases
SaaS customer education teams
Launch a branded academy with SSO from the product
Outcome: Customers find onboarding courses without a second login
Partner programs
Run proctored certification exams with re-certification
Outcome: A verifiable list of certified partner staff
Training leaders who sell courses
Sell training credits through Stripe and Salesforce contracts
Outcome: Training revenue booked with the main deal
Key features
- Essentials, Professional and Enterprise plans include 1, 2 or 3 Academy sites with custom themes
- Low-code page builder, SSO for learners, virtual instructor-led training, certifications and automations on every plan
- Content Syndication pushes Skilljar courses into a customer's own LMS (add-on listed at $10k)
- Native connections to Salesforce, Gainsight CS, Zoom, Webex, Zendesk, Marketo and 80+ more tools
- Native Stripe integration for subscriptions, a-la-carte purchases and training credits in 100+ currencies
Pros
- Purpose-built for external learners, with self-service enrollment and SSO for end customers
- Every plan includes an Implementation Manager and support with a guaranteed 24-hour response time
- Pricing counts only active users who consume lessons, not everyone who logs in
Cons
- No published plan prices; both the subscription and the active-user fee are quoted by sales
- Several key extras are paid add-ons: Data Connector starts at $25k and Language Packs at $10k for 5 languages
- Admin SSO and content syndication start at the Professional plan
Rank 2 · Runner-up
Docebo
An enterprise learning platform that runs customer education, partner enablement and employee training from one system.
docebo.com8.3
out of 10
Best for: Enterprises training customers, partners and employees on one LMS
Docebo is a full enterprise LMS that treats customer education as one of several audiences, next to partner enablement, member training and employee learning. For a SaaS academy that matters when the same team also trains staff and partners and wants one content library. Docebo Pages lets admins shape pages and menus per audience, permissions can be delegated across sub-domains, and the platform can sell courses through Shopify, Stripe and PayPal. Reporting includes pre-built dashboards, a custom report builder and Kirkpatrick-based evaluations, and Docebo says its analytics can connect learning data to product usage, satisfaction and renewal. Its customer stories cite Wrike and PowerDMS, where Docebo reports a 30% cut in customer onboarding time. Pricing is flexible on paper, with monthly, yearly and registered active-user models, but no figures are published. Expect a sales process and a longer setup than with a tool that only runs external academies.
Standout feature
Docebo is the best choice for multi-audience programs because it prices by monthly, yearly or registered active users.
Use cases
Enterprise education teams
Run customer and partner academies alongside employee training
Outcome: One content library and one vendor
Training businesses
Sell course licenses through Shopify or Stripe
Outcome: Training sold without a separate storefront
Customer success leaders
Compare trained and untrained accounts in Docebo analytics
Outcome: Evidence for the education budget
Key features
- Monthly Active User, Yearly Active User and Registered Active User pricing models
- Sell courses through integrations with Shopify, Stripe and PayPal
- Docebo Pages sets the look of pages and menus for each audience
- Pre-built dashboards, a custom report builder and Kirkpatrick-based evaluations
- Extended Enterprise, Communities, Headless Learning and a Content Marketplace with SCORM packages
Pros
- Three user-count models let you pay for active customers rather than every registered account
- One platform covers customer education, partner enablement and internal training
- Hundreds of integrations across CRM, HRIS, ecommerce, authoring and SSO
Cons
- No published prices; every plan is quoted
- Breadth of modules means more setup than a dedicated academy tool
- Ecommerce, Communities and Extended Enterprise are listed as separate advanced modules
Rank 3 · Also great
Intellum
An enterprise learning platform that gives customers, partners and employees separate academies on one instance, with AI agents and an hourly data connector.
intellum.com8.2
out of 10
Best for: Large software companies running academies for several external audiences
Intellum aims at companies whose academy is a major program, not a side project. Each audience gets its own branded academy, catalog, sign-on and administrators, while one course change updates every catalog that uses it. That suits a SaaS company running a customer academy, a partner certification and internal enablement from shared content. The platform bundles Evolve, a browser course studio, so courses do not need to be exported from a separate authoring tool. Intellum has added AI agents: Creator Agent turns up to ten PDF or video files into objectives, a lesson plan and assessment questions, and the Manager connector lets admins ask for reports or enrollments from Claude, Gemini or Copilot, approving each change. The Data Connector lands learning records in your warehouse every hour. Customer stories include Meta Blueprint, Pinterest Academy, X Ads Academy and Gusto. Pricing is not published, and the product is sized for enterprise programs.
Standout feature
Intellum is the best choice for multi-audience academies because one course change updates every customer, partner and employee catalog.
Use cases
Partner certification teams
Track credentials across reseller firms
Outcome: Audit-ready certification records
Customer education leads
Update one course used in customer and partner academies
Outcome: Every catalog stays current without re-uploading
Revenue operations analysts
Join hourly learning data with CRM renewals in the warehouse
Outcome: Renewal rates for certified versus uncertified accounts
Key features
- Customers, partners and employees each get their own branded catalog, sign-on, access rules and administrators
- Creator Agent drafts objectives, lesson plans, pages and assessment questions from up to ten PDF or video files
- Manager MCP connector lets admins run reports and enrollments from Claude, Gemini or Copilot, with approval before each change
- Evolve course studio publishes interactive courses with no export step
- Data Connector delivers learning activity to your warehouse every hour
Pros
- One course change updates every relevant audience catalog
- Hourly learning data in your warehouse makes renewal and certification comparisons possible
- Published customer stories include Meta Blueprint, which reached 2 million learners in 34 months
Cons
- No public pricing page
- Built for large programs, so small teams pay for capability they may not use
- AI agents are new features, so check availability by plan with sales
Rank 4
LearnWorlds
A course platform with a website builder, SCORM support and white-label academies, used for customer training and selling courses.
learnworlds.com8.1
out of 10
Best for: Mid-size SaaS teams that want a branded academy without an enterprise contract
LearnWorlds started as a platform for selling online courses and now markets a customer training solution, which makes it a practical middle ground for SaaS teams that want a polished academy but not an enterprise LMS contract. The website builder, interactive video and assessment builder are strong for a self-serve tool. For customer education the relevant plan is Learning Center: it removes LearnWorlds branding, adds single sign-on and API access, supports up to 10 client groups, includes 25 admin seats and 1,000 AI credits a month, and unlocks automations built from triggers, conditions and delays. Pro Trainer covers course certificates, up to 20 SCORM uploads and 50+ integrations. The limits are in the lower plans: Starter has one admin, 1,000 active learners a month and a fee on each course enrollment. Corporate adds 99.95% uptime, daily backups and a dedicated success manager. We could not confirm USD prices from our location.
Standout feature
LearnWorlds is the best choice for self-serve academies because its Learning Center plan includes SSO, API access and full white-label.
Use cases
Mid-size SaaS companies
Launch a white-label customer academy on their own domain
Outcome: A branded academy live without a sales cycle
Agencies and consultancies
Train up to 10 client groups from one school
Outcome: Separate client cohorts in one account
Product marketing teams
Publish interactive video walkthroughs of new features
Outcome: Self-serve feature education
Key features
- Learning Center plan adds full white-label, single sign-on, API access and up to 10 client groups
- Pro Trainer includes up to 20 SCORM uploads, course certificates and 50+ built-in integrations
- Built-in website builder, interactive video and assessment builder
- Automation engine with triggers, conditions and delays on Learning Center
- Corporate plan offers 99.95% uptime on premium servers and 24/7 phone support
Pros
- Self-serve plans, so a team can start building an academy without a sales call
- Learning Center includes 25 admin and team seats and 1,000 AI credits per month
- Sells courses through your own Stripe or PayPal account
Cons
- Starter caps at 1,000 active learners a month and charges a fee per course enrollment
- SSO and API need the Learning Center plan or higher
- Prices on the pricing page did not show a currency when checked from our location
Rank 5
Disco
An academy platform that combines learning programs, events and community chat for members, customers and partners.
disco.co8.0
out of 10
Best for: Teams that want courses and community in one customer academy
Disco frames itself as a platform to create and scale an academy, and its Create plan is pitched at training organizations teaching members, employees, customers or partners. What sets it apart from a classic LMS is that courses, pathways, live events and community chat live together, with member profiles and a directory. For a SaaS company that already runs a user community, that can replace a separate community tool. Create costs $399 a month billed annually, or $499 monthly, and includes 250 active members, one branded academy, unlimited learning products, Disco AI with MCP, automations, reporting and 100 hours of video storage. The catch for software companies is identity: single sign-on, API and webhooks, email white-labeling and branded mobile apps start on Scale, priced from $999 a month billed annually. That pushes academies that need login from the product into the higher tier. A 7-day free trial is available without a credit card.
Standout feature
Disco is the best choice for community-led academies because its $399 Create plan combines courses, events and community chat.
Use cases
Community-led SaaS companies
Run product courses next to a member community
Outcome: One place for learning and peer help
Partner managers
Host live partner training events with pathways
Outcome: Partners follow a set sequence and attend sessions in one hub
Small education teams
Launch a first academy for up to 250 active members
Outcome: A live academy within the trial period
Key features
- Create plan includes 250 active members, 1 branded learning academy and unlimited learning products
- Learning programs, pathways, events and community chat in the same academy
- Disco AI, MCP, automations and reporting on the Create plan
- Scale plan adds multiple academies, SSO, API and webhooks, email white-labeling and branded mobile apps
- 100 hours of video storage and 400 hours of video streaming per month on Create
Pros
- Published prices and a 7-day free trial with no credit card
- Community chat and member directory sit beside courses, so learners can help each other
- Create includes a live onboarding workshop and weekly office hours
Cons
- SSO and API are not on the Create plan; they start with Scale at $999 a month
- Create covers only 250 active members
- Annual billing is needed for the $399 rate; monthly is $499
Rank 6
TalentLMS
A cloud LMS with a free plan, branches for separate training portals and published monthly prices.
talentlms.com7.9
out of 10
Best for: Small teams starting customer training on a budget
TalentLMS is a general-purpose cloud LMS with dedicated pages for customer and partner training, and it is the cheapest way on this list to stand up a working customer portal. The free plan covers 5 users and 10 courses, enough to build and test an academy. Core costs $119 a month billed yearly for 1 to 40 users and already includes one branch, which is an independent training portal, plus a custom homepage, custom domain with SSL, single sign-on over SAML2.0, LDAP or OpenID Connect, the API, custom reports and LTI 1.3. Grow raises the limit to 70 users and three branches for $229, and Pro covers up to 100 users for $449 with $6 per additional user. Billing is based on unique users who log in each month. The limit is fit: TalentLMS has no commerce, certification exams or CRM-linked analytics on the level of Skilljar, so it suits early programs more than a mature academy.
Standout feature
TalentLMS is the best choice for budget customer training because its Core plan includes SSO and a custom domain for $119 a month billed yearly.
Use cases
Early-stage SaaS startups
Pilot a customer academy on the free plan
Outcome: A working portal before any spend
Support teams
Give customers SSO access to how-to courses on a custom domain
Outcome: Fewer repeat setup questions
Channel managers
Run a separate branch for reseller training
Outcome: Partners and customers see different catalogs
Key features
- Branches create independent training portals: 1 on Core, 3 on Grow
- Single sign-on with SAML2.0, LDAP and OpenID Connect from the Core plan
- Custom domain with SSL, custom homepage, API and custom reports on Core
- SCORM 1.2, Tin Can and cmi5 support with unlimited storage on all plans
- LTI 1.3 support, learning paths and group supervisors
Pros
- Permanent free plan for up to 5 users and 10 courses, no credit card needed
- Core plan already includes SSO, custom domain and API
- Pricing counts unique users who log in each month
Cons
- Built mainly for employee training, with customer training as one use case
- Core covers only 40 users, so a large customer base pushes you up the tiers
- Pro adds $6 per user beyond its included limit
Rank 7
Thinkific
A course and community platform with B2B seat sales, customer and partner training solutions and an enterprise Plus plan.
thinkific.com7.8
out of 10
Best for: Companies that sell paid training seats to customer organizations
Thinkific is best known for creators selling courses, but it now lists customer training, partner training and external training solutions, and an enterprise tier called Plus. Its advantage for customer education is commerce. Start includes unlimited courses, live cohorts with unlimited Zoom sessions, quizzes, assignments, certificates, memberships, subscriptions and payment plans. Grow removes Thinkific branding and adds what B2B academies need: bulk enrollment by CSV, API access and B2B sales and invoicing, so you can sell a block of seats to a customer company and collect payment by invoice. Expand adds unlimited group sizes, 10 communities, 1,000 GB of monthly video bandwidth and email white-labeling. There is no free plan; Thinkific offers a 30-day free trial instead. The page showed euro prices from our location, so we list pricing as pending. Teams that need deep CRM reporting or proctored certification should compare Skilljar first.
Standout feature
Thinkific is the best choice for paid customer training because its Grow plan adds B2B seat sales with invoicing.
Use cases
Software vendors with paid training
Sell bulk course seats to a customer company by invoice
Outcome: Training revenue without card checkouts
Customer education teams
Run live onboarding cohorts over Zoom
Outcome: Scheduled cohort training with attendance tracking
Partner programs
Host partner communities by tier or topic
Outcome: Separate spaces for each partner group
Key features
- Unlimited courses, live cohorts, unlimited Zoom sessions, quizzes, assignments and certificates on Start
- Grow adds B2B sales and invoicing to sell bulk seats to companies, bulk CSV enrollment and API access
- Expand adds unlimited group sizes, 10 communities and email white-labeling with custom SSL
- Memberships, subscriptions, bundles and payment plans for paid training
- Plus plan for enterprise programs, with custom app development on select Plus plans
Pros
- Strong commerce tools for academies that charge for training
- B2B seat sales and invoicing suit training sold to customer companies
- 30-day free trial covers the whole platform, including AI tools
Cons
- No free plan
- Thinkific branding stays on until the Grow plan
- Prices showed in euros from our location, so USD pricing is unconfirmed
Rank 8
360Learning
A collaborative LMS that covers employee upskilling and customer education, with a published per-user Team plan.
360learning.com7.7
out of 10
Best for: Teams training employees and customers on one LMS
360Learning pitches one platform "from workforce upskilling to customer education," and its FAQ lists partner enablement and customer education among its use cases. It suits a SaaS company whose L&D team already runs on 360Learning and wants to open courses to customers without a second vendor. The Team plan is published at $8 per user per month for up to 100 users, with a 30-day free trial. The more relevant plans for an academy are Business and Enterprise, which are custom priced and let you combine registered users for staff with monthly active users for external learners in one contract. Authoring is collaborative, with co-authoring and AI-assisted course creation, and delivery covers SCORM, instructor-led and virtual sessions. The integration list leans toward HR, with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and BambooHR, plus Teams, Slack and Zoom. Teams that need ecommerce, certification exams or CRM-linked reports will find dedicated customer education LMSs a better fit.
Standout feature
360Learning is the best choice for mixed internal and external training because Business contracts combine registered and monthly active users.
Use cases
L&D teams adding customer courses
Open existing product courses to customers
Outcome: One authoring workflow for both audiences
Product experts
Co-author feature courses with the education team
Outcome: Faster course updates after releases
Small software teams
Run a pilot academy on the Team plan
Outcome: Up to 100 learners at a known per-user price
Key features
- Business and Enterprise plans combine registered and monthly active users in one contract for internal and external learners
- Co-authoring and AI-assisted authoring
- SCORM player, instructor-led and virtual instructor-led sessions and blended learning
- Integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and Go1
- Smart recommendations and global training management
Pros
- Published Team price of $8 per user per month
- Mixed user models let external learners count as monthly active users
- 30-day free trial and no setup fees, per the pricing FAQ
Cons
- Team plan stops at 100 users, too small for most customer academies
- Mixed internal and external user models are only on custom-priced plans
- Integration list leans toward HR systems rather than CRM and support tools
Rank 9
EducateMe
An AI-native LMS with flat monthly plans by user count, used for employee and external training.
educate-me.co7.5
out of 10
Best for: Small teams that want flat-priced external training with AI roleplay
EducateMe is a younger LMS from a New York company that lists external training next to employee onboarding and compliance among its use cases. Its appeal is simple, published pricing. Pro costs $239 a month for 80 users, with $3 per additional user, and includes certificates, unlimited storage, branding, basic integrations and API access, plus AI features: an assistant, reports, search, practice and 10 AI roleplay sessions a month. Premium at $399 for 100 users adds a knowledge hub, custom SSO, custom domain and a custom email sender, which is the realistic floor for a customer-facing academy. Scale at $999 for 200 users adds SAML2 and Okta SSO, HRIS provisioning and white-glove migration. Annual billing saves 10%. The pricing page lists no ecommerce, proctored exams or CRM integrations, so EducateMe fits small onboarding programs better than a full certification academy.
Standout feature
EducateMe is the best choice for flat-priced external training because Pro covers 80 users for $239 a month.
Use cases
Customer onboarding teams
Give new accounts a short onboarding course with certificates
Outcome: A record of which customers completed setup training
Sales and success teams
Practice customer conversations with AI roleplay
Outcome: Rehearsed renewal and upsell calls
Small SaaS companies
Publish a help-style knowledge hub beside courses
Outcome: Courses and reference articles in one portal
Key features
- Pro includes certificates, unlimited storage, branding, basic integrations and API, and 10 AI roleplay sessions a month
- Premium adds a knowledge hub, custom SSO, custom domain, custom email sender and 40 AI roleplay sessions
- Scale adds SSO with SAML2, Okta and other IdPs, HRIS provisioning and white-glove migration
- AI assistant, AI reports, AI search and AI practice on every plan
- External training listed as a dedicated use case
Pros
- Flat monthly prices published for each user tier
- Annual billing saves 10%
- AI roleplay sessions are included rather than sold as an add-on
Cons
- Custom domain and SSO start at Premium ($399 a month)
- User tiers start at 80, so large customer bases cost more per extra user
- No commerce or certification exam features listed on the pricing page
Rank 10
Coassemble
A training platform and API for building courses and embedding them in your own product, including customer academies.
coassemble.com7.2
out of 10
Best for: Product teams that want training embedded inside their app
Coassemble has repositioned around developers: its pricing page describes plans for teams that build, and the entry Build plan includes the full platform, the full API with webhooks and events, every embeddable including the builders, SCORM 1.2 and 2004 export and SOC 2 Type 2 documentation. For customer education that means you can show courses inside your own product instead of sending customers to a separate academy site, while Coassemble still lists customer education, with training libraries and academies, as a core use. Build costs $250 a month on a 12-month agreement, or $2,500 when paid yearly, and Scale is $500 a month. The trade-off is effort. Embedding training takes engineering time, and the platform lists fewer packaged academy features, such as commerce and proctored certifications, than dedicated customer education LMSs. It fits product-led SaaS teams that want training in the app more than a standalone academy.
Standout feature
Coassemble is the best choice for in-app training because its $250 Build plan includes the full API and embeddable course builders.
Use cases
Product-led SaaS teams
Embed onboarding lessons inside the app
Outcome: Users learn without leaving the product
Platform companies
Let customers build their own training with embedded builders
Outcome: Training as a feature of the product
Education teams with LMS partners
Export courses as SCORM to partner LMSs
Outcome: One course reused across systems
Key features
- Full API with webhooks and events on the entry Build plan
- Embeddables, including builders, to put course creation and playback inside your product
- SCORM 1.2 and 2004 export
- Customer education solution for training libraries and academies
- Academy LMS and a Moodle plugin
Pros
- Published USD prices, with two months free when paid yearly
- API-first design suits training shown inside a SaaS product
- SOC 2 Type 2 security documentation on the entry plan
Cons
- Every plan requires a 12-month agreement
- Building embedded training takes developer time
- Fewer ready-made academy features, such as commerce and certification exams, than Skilljar or Thinkific
