Why people look past EasyLlama

Plans are annual. Pay Per Course and seat plans have a 10-unit minimum and sell in increments of 5. There is no free trial.

What we noted

  • Annual billing only on published plans
  • 10-course or 10-user minimum
  • No free trial, only a demo

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a month-to-month public plan
  • Teams that want a free trial before paying

Worth keeping in mind: State-specific harassment courses plus AI reporting, phishing simulations, and HRIS sync on the same LMS.

What each one does differently

TalentLMS

$119/mo API

Why it comes up: General LMS with a published free plan and monthly seats.

Stands out: A straightforward LMS with a free plan and public Core/Grow/Pro prices, plus AI course helpers on every paid plan.

Watch out: Core is $119/month (or $1,428/year). Active-user caps apply; Enterprise is quoted above 1,000 users.

Best for

  • SMBs running onboarding and compliance courses
  • HR teams that do not want an enterprise LMS
  • Companies that will start on the free plan

Connecteam

$29/mo Free tier 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Hourly-workforce training plus scheduling in one operations app.

Stands out: A true free plan for teams of 10 or fewer, then hub-priced paid plans so you can buy operations without paying for HR or comms you will not use.

Watch out: The $29 Operations hub covers the first 30 users; extra users are per head, and Communications and HR are separate hubs. 14-day trial, no card.

Best for

  • Deskless and field teams
  • Small businesses under 10 people (free)
  • Companies that want time clock plus chat in one app

Workday

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Learning inside the HCM if you already run Workday.

Stands out: It is the system of record for very large companies; recruiting rides along with it.

Watch out: Recruiter sentiment is among the most negative of any platform here, and implementations run long.

Best for

  • Global enterprises already on Workday
  • HR IT teams standardising the HCM
  • Talent teams that must live in the system of record

4.5 on Capterra from 1,769 reviews

Rippling

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: HRIS with learning add-ons when payroll is the system of record.

Stands out: Payroll, IT device management and hiring on a single mid-market bill.

Watch out: Recruiting is one module of a much larger platform, not the product itself.

Best for

  • Mid-market companies unifying HR and IT
  • Teams that want payroll and devices on the same bill
  • Buyers replacing several separate tools
