Every LMS is priced per seat and assumes employees. Nonprofits run a churning volunteer roster. We checked what each vendor actually publishes, and found the one free option most nonprofits already qualify for.

Nine of ten partner training platforms publish no price. The one question that decides your bill is what the vendor counts: a login, an enrolment, or an account that exists. We got the answer for all ten.

One query, three product categories, and a 250-seat minimum hiding behind the top result. A buyer’s guide with the seat floors, the published prices, and the merger that reshaped this market nine days ago.

Most “best LMS for small business” lists publish no prices. This one publishes all of them, dated, with the monthly cost at 25 and 100 users and the entry floor that decides whether you can buy at all.

The customer education platform market just consolidated, and most roundups have not noticed. Ten platforms, verified and screenshotted, with real pricing where it exists.

Connect the mailbox you already have, Gmail, Outlook or your company address, and send your course invitation, verification and certificate emails from it. No domain, no DNS records, no third-party account.

The complete guide to automotive training software: what an automotive LMS is, the benefits and features that matter, and the 10 tools worth piloting, with the dealership and technician platforms generic lists skip.
