How this page was put together
Alternatives are ordered by how close each is to LearnWorlds: the gap between lowest paid prices, then how many yes or no features match. The first one is the closest, not a judgement of quality.
Prices are each vendor's own list prices in US dollars before tax, for the lowest paid plan. Features come from the vendors' public pricing and help pages, linked in every cell. The monthly check re-reads those pages; a page whose data is older than 45 days is taken down until it is checked again. Spot something wrong? Send a correction.
