What our research says

Coursebox

Best value here is the unlimited-learner pricing: if you are training hundreds of people, Coursebox undercuts seat-priced LMSs badly. The generated first draft is a scaffold, not a finished course, and you will spend real time editing it.

Pros

Unlimited learners on every plan including free, so cost does not scale with audience
Authoring, hosting, grading, certificates and ecommerce in a single tool
Self-hosted SCORM and LTI 1.3 export on Pro + LMS means you are not fully locked in
Free tier is usable for evaluation: 3 mini courses, no card required

Cons

Five separate credit meters (pages, images, tutor messages, video minutes, voice minutes) make real usage hard to forecast
Free plan stamps a Coursebox watermark on course pages
Extra admin seats on Pro + LMS are billed per seat each month, so the cheap headline price only holds for a one-person team
SSO is a $3,000 USD a year add-on, and the API sits on the Enterprise tier

MEXTY

MEXTY's pitch is that authoring, delivery and tracking live in one system instead of three, and the SCORM export means you are not locked in if you already run an LMS. Since the pricing rework the two halves are bought separately: authoring per creator with a monthly credit allowance, the LMS per learner, so price both before committing.

Pros

Generates interactive simulations and assessments from a plain-language description
SCORM-compatible plus HTML export, so content stays portable
Source of Truth grounding against documents you supply
Free plan with 20 starter credits and no card; GDPR and EU AI Act readiness claimed

Cons

Credit-metered: 100 credits a month per creator covers about five courses built from scratch
Priced only in euros, so dollar buyers carry the exchange rate
No public API found on the site
