- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $12 against $49.99 for the year
- Watch out: the Orai Journey training program is a separate $200 fee
- Watch out: Enterprise pricing is on request only
Why Orai gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$49.99 a year is about $4.17 a month, but the monthly price is $12. Lifetime is $149, which is under two years of the category's middle subscription.
- DFree plan and trialNo free plan, only a 7-day trial that asks for a credit card.
- CFeaturesPractice scenarios with real-time feedback and progress trends. A smaller job than slide making, done fully.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record and it needs an account and some setup of your own work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- BPlatforms and integrationsiPhone, Android and web, with no desktop app and no integrations listed.

Keep Orai, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing Orai does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
It costs $144 a year.
What you could not
- A slide editor.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Orai’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
