Gloat from Sales-quoted

The short answer

  • Fuel50 : Career pathing and a company-specific skills ontology if you want FuelArchitecture more than a gig marketplace. From Sales-quoted
  • 365Talents : EU skills intelligence and marketplace, now under Docebo, if you want a European vendor. From Sales-quoted
  • MentorcliQ : MentorcliQ, which now owns Neobrain, if mentoring programs and ERGs should sit next to skills intelligence and the marketplace. From Sales-quoted
  • Cornerstone : Broader talent suite if marketplace is one module inside a learning and performance stack. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Gloat

This is an operating-system sale for large global employers (PepsiCo, Nestle, Novartis, HSBC are named). There is no SMB checkout.

What we noted

  • No public rate card. Deals are enterprise quotes
  • Implementation is measured in months on review sites
  • Overkill for a company that only needed an internal jobs page

Not the right fit for

  • Mid-market HR teams that need a published PEPM
  • Recruiters who only need an external ATS

Worth keeping in mind: The Workforce Graph is Gloat's deep-learning database of how work units relate, sitting under Talent Marketplace apps and Skills Foundation tools.

What each one does differently

Fuel50

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Career pathing and a company-specific skills ontology if you want FuelArchitecture more than a gig marketplace.

Stands out: Every module is all-in access with no gated features inside a module, and the vendor says incremental cost per employee falls as you add people or modules.

Watch out: fuel50.com/pricing is a talk-to-sales page. Cost follows employee count and which modules you add, not a printed PEPM you can check out.

Best for

  • Enterprises building a company-specific skills architecture before a marketplace
  • L&D teams that want Coach, Learn+, and Mobility as addable modules
  • CHRO groups that care about independently audited AI on matching

365Talents

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: EU skills intelligence and marketplace, now under Docebo, if you want a European vendor.

Stands out: Docebo says 365Talents remains a distinct product you can buy without the Docebo LMS, with existing contracts honored and no acquisition-driven price change promised in the near term.

Watch out: Pricing is a commercial proposal from employee count, modules (Skills and Job Architecture, Career Developer, Talent Marketplace, Workforce Intelligence), integrations, and support tier, often on a 3-to-5-year term.

Best for

  • European enterprises that want skills intelligence with 45-plus language support
  • HR teams that need job architecture and an internal marketplace in one vendor
  • Docebo LMS customers who want skills mobility without a forced bundle

MentorcliQ

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: MentorcliQ, which now owns Neobrain, if mentoring programs and ERGs should sit next to skills intelligence and the marketplace.

Stands out: Mentoring, ERGs and skills-based career mobility sit in one platform, so a mentor match can come from a skills gap rather than a job title, and every client gets a dedicated client partner and success coach.

Watch out: There are no public prices, free plan or self-serve trial, and onboarding is guided over a few weeks, so it suits enterprise programs rather than a small team. The Neobrain AI agents are still rolling out.

Best for

  • Large employers running several mentoring programs
  • HR teams managing ERGs and employee networks
  • Companies moving to skills-based internal mobility

4.9 on Capterra from 189 reviews

Cornerstone

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Broader talent suite if marketplace is one module inside a learning and performance stack.

Stands out: Cornerstone Galaxy AI is built on a large skills and labor data set, powering recommendations, growth paths, and AI assistants across Learn and Elevate bundles.

Watch out: There is no self-serve rate card on cornerstoneondemand.com. AWS Marketplace listings exist as representative-customer figures, not a checkout price.

Best for

  • Global enterprises that want LMS, LXP, performance, and recruiting in one TXP
  • L&D teams standardizing skills data rather than a department Moodle
  • HR orgs already comparing Workday Learning or SAP SuccessFactors
