How we grade them
| 2.4GPAHeights PlatformFair | 1.8GPALearningSuiteWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CChallenge is $19 a month billed yearly but covers 1 challenge course for 100 students. Basic, with unlimited courses and 5,000 students, is $39, and no plan takes a fee on sales, so $2,000 of sales costs $39 a month: the middle of this category. | CNo price is published, so this sits in the middle by default. The vendor says you only see it in a demo call. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 30-day trial with no card needed, as long as any in this category. | FNo free plan and no free trial on record. |
| Features | BCourses and challenges with quizzes, assignments, certificates and badges, community channels, meeting rooms and live streams, email to students, fee-free checkout and Heights AI. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the job; a custom domain waits for Pro. | CA course editor, submissions and exams, video hosting, a community and app, and link hubs. Thin on detail beyond that. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. Heights AI drafts courses, quizzes and pages, but you're still building a school before the first student signs up. | CNo store rating is on record, and templates and courses have to be built. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, plus Mac and Windows apps, with Stripe, PayPal, Zapier, Kit, ActiveCampaign, Google Analytics and Dropbox. No iPhone or Android app, which an A needs, and the API is only on Academy. | BWeb, iOS and Android, with no integrations listed. |
| Best for | fee-free courses and challenges with live lessons | premium training programs for clients and staff |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
