How this page was put together
Only tools whose lowest paid plan hosts courses, sorted by how many courses that plan allows (unlimited first), then by the lowest paid monthly price.
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.
