• Works for companies with BambooHR or Salesforce

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a 30-day trial
• Watch out: no government, non-profit or academic discounts
• Watch out: plan changes go through iSpring Sales, and the Enterprise tier is not priced

Pick TalentLMS if

• Works for teams that need branches and reporting

• Tight if you stay free, as it stops at 5 users and 100 MB per file

• Watch out: the 1,000+ ready-made courses are priced separately, and self-serve pricing stops at 1,000 users
