The panel's verdict
LearnWorlds is an LMS from LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd of Cyprus. Its strongest criterion is courses and content at 7: SCORM 1.2 and 2004 import, LTI 1.3, prerequisite paths, 18 question types and AI authoring are documented. Compliance training and integration and portability sit at 6, on retraining cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, each tracked separately, and sign-on via OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 with a documented OAuth2 REST API. Pricing transparency is weakest at 3-4: the pages name the Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center, High Volume and Corporate tiers but show no price figures, and Corporate is 'Custom Pricing tailored to your business'. Sovereignty spreads 4-6: the EU contracting entity, published data processing agreement and named subprocessors weigh against the privacy policy's 'Europe and in the U.S.A.' statement and the security page's US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore regions, no EU-only option stated. Onboarding and academies spans 5-7 between white-label external academies and thinner internal onboarding, where we found no public information on manager tasks or login for staff without a company email.
Speaks for it
- Retraining cycles triggered by certificate expiry, course due date or re-enrollment, each tracked as a separate cycle with past cycles viewable per learner
- SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (3rd and 4th editions) import with scores recorded in the gradebook, alongside LTI 1.3 and 18 question types
- Single sign-on via OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 with Azure AD, Okta and Google named, plus a documented OAuth2 REST API with webhooks
- White-label multi-academy management with up to 10 client groups on the Learning Center plan and a commerce stack of subscriptions, bundles, coupons and course licenses
- An EU contracting entity — LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd of Cyprus — with a published data processing agreement under GDPR Article 28(3), named subprocessors and standard contractual clauses
Held against it
- No price figures for any tier on the captured pages, with the Corporate plan quoted only as 'Custom Pricing tailored to your business'
- The privacy policy states storage on Google Cloud servers 'located in Europe and in the U.S.A.' while the security page lists US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore regions, with no EU-only option stated
- We found no public information on SCIM provisioning, on the HR system behind the 'native SSO & HR sync' claim, or on exporting courses as SCORM packages
- We found no public information on manager onboarding tasks, checklists, or login for frontline staff without a company email
- We found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification, on xAPI or cmi5 support, or on customer-configurable retention of learner records
Best for
- You sell training to customers or partners and want white-label academies with subscriptions, bundles, coupons and checkout on your own domain — a 30-day free trial is available
- You need recurring compliance recertification with cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, grace periods, reminder emails and a per-learner history of past cycles
- Your stack already runs on Azure AD, Okta or Google single sign-on and your team can build on the OAuth2 REST API and webhooks
- You rely on segment-heavy reporting — 95+ filters, custom user segments and scheduled email reports with quotas of 20 per month on the Learning Center plan and 200 on High Volume
Avoid if
- You must compute an annual budget from public pages — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your works council needs codetermination levers — we found no public information on switching off time tracking, aggregated or pseudonymised reporting, customer-configurable retention, or manager views restricted to their own team
- You require EU-only data residency — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your onboarding depends on HR-system triggers, manager checklists or login for staff without a company email — we found no public information on these paths

Courses, learning paths & content standards
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How learning is built and delivered: a course builder with video, documents, quizzes and assignments, import of SCORM 1.2 and 2004, xAPI, cmi5 and LTI packages, learning paths with prerequisites, assessments and question pools, certificates, blended learning with classroom or virtual sessions, a mobile app with offline access, multilingual courses and interface, accessibility (WCAG), AI-assisted authoring, and an off-the-shelf content library.
0 — Not a learning management system; courses cannot be delivered or tracked with it.
3 — Courses with video, documents and quizzes and a completion record; content standards, learning paths and mobile use are basic or not described.
5 — A course builder with quizzes and certificates, SCORM import, learning paths with prerequisites, scheduled instructor-led or virtual sessions, a responsive or native mobile app, and courses and interface in several languages.
8 — SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 or LTI documented, question pools and graded assignments, adaptive or branching paths, an offline mobile app, automatic translation of courses, accessibility conformance stated against WCAG 2.1 or 2.2, and AI authoring with the model and data use explained.
10 — A content platform an L&D team runs on: every major standard with a published conformance statement, a learning record store or xAPI export, skills tagged to content, multilingual versions managed as one course, and course content exportable as packages another LMS imports.
The Onboarding Lead
SCORM 1.2 and 2004 packages import with scores flowing into a gradebook, learning paths can enforce prerequisites, live sessions run over Zoom and Teams, and there is a white-label mobile app with offline support, with the interface offered in German, Spanish and Greek — which covers two of my three plant languages. The evidence tops out below the highest bar: we found no public information on xAPI or cmi5, question pools, or a WCAG conformance statement beyond an accessiBe accessibility widget; SCORM progress is tracked per package rather than per sub-module; and we found no public information on Czech as an interface language, which my Czech plant would need. AI authoring is documented with Microsoft Azure and OpenAI named as the processors and a statement that data from integrations is not used to train general models. 14 15 4 7 9 13 12
The Compliance Officer
The course builder covers interactive video, ebooks, assessments with 18 question types, certificates and surveys, and imports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 3rd and 4th Editions and Captivate packages, with LTI 1.3 for external tools. Learning paths with prerequisites, live sessions via Zoom and Microsoft Teams, an offline-capable branded mobile app, multilingual course and interface support, and AI course creation with a stated position that integration data is not used to train AI models are all documented. We found no public information on xAPI or cmi5 support, a WCAG conformance statement, or question pools, which keeps this below the top band. 14 15 7 3 4
The Customer Education Lead
The course builder covers interactive video, 18 question types, SCORM 1.2 and 2004, LTI 1.3, HTML5 and Captivate packages, prerequisite navigation and offline white-label mobile apps — more than enough to run an academy. It stays below the top band because accessibility is addressed only through an accessiBe widget rather than a WCAG conformance statement, xAPI and cmi5 are absent from the pages, question pools are not described, and translation arrives via a third-party widget; AI authoring is real and the privacy policy states data from integrations is not used to train models, though AI credits are metered per plan. 1 3 4 7 9 12 14 15
The Works Council Member
SCORM 1.2 and 2004, HTML5 and LTI 1.3 import are documented with scores flowing into a gradebook, alongside learning paths with prerequisites, branching scenarios, a white-label mobile app with offline mode, 18 question types and AI course creation. What holds it back from the highest level is what the pages do not show: we found no public information on xAPI or cmi5, question pools, a WCAG conformance statement, automatic translation of courses, or export of courses as packages another system could import. 3 4 5 7 9 14 15
The IT & HR Systems Admin
A real course builder with 18 question types, SCORM 1.2 and 2004 import, LTI 1.3, prerequisite-based paths, offline-capable branded apps, and AI authoring whose model chain (Azure, OpenAI) and no-training-on-our-data commitment are documented. What holds it back for us: accessibility is covered only by an accessiBe widget rather than a stated WCAG conformance, question pools are not described, imported SCORM is tracked only as a whole package with the final score or pass/fail, and I found no public information on xAPI, cmi5, or exporting our courses back out as SCORM packages if we ever leave. 3 4 7 9 12 13 14 15
The Skeptic
Course delivery is well evidenced: SCORM 1.2 and 2004 import with gradebook tracking, LTI 1.3, prerequisite-based paths, live sessions with attendance, an offline mobile app, 18 question types and AI authoring with the AI subprocessors named. It stops short of the top band because the pages show no xAPI or cmi5 support, accessibility is addressed only via a third-party overlay widget rather than a WCAG conformance statement, and I found no public information on exporting courses as packages another LMS imports. 1 3 4 7 9 14 15
Compliance training, recertification & audit trail
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether mandatory training can be run and proven: automatic assignment by role, department, location or legal entity, due dates with reminders and escalation to the manager, recurring recertification (annual data protection, IT security, anti-money-laundering, occupational safety instruction), attestations and acknowledgements of policies, attendance records for classroom sessions, course versioning with who completed which version, expiry of certificates, and audit-ready reports and exports for regulators or auditors.
0 — No way to assign mandatory training or record completion.
3 — Courses can be assigned with a due date and completions reported; recertification, escalation and audit evidence are basic or not described.
5 — Rule-based assignment by group or attribute, due dates with automatic reminders, recurring recertification with certificate expiry, policy acknowledgements, attendance for live sessions, and completion reports exportable for an audit.
8 — Escalation to managers, course versioning with the completed version stored per learner, an unalterable audit trail, e-signatures or attestations with timestamp, ready-made compliance dashboards by entity and location, and named regimes supported (occupational safety instruction, GxP or 21 CFR Part 11, FINMA or BaFin requirements).
10 — Compliance evidence that holds in an inspection: validated or certified for a named regulated use, every assignment, reminder, attempt and completion traceable to a timestamped record, retention of training records configurable per regulation, and the audit trail exportable in a documented format.
The Onboarding Lead
Recurring training is the strongest-documented area: retraining cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, grace periods, automatic reminder emails, each repeat tracked as a separate cycle with past cycles visible per learner, and scheduled compliance exports — that would replace my recertification spreadsheet. Assignment runs through automated group-based learning paths and smart groups. For proving it to an auditor, we found no public information on escalation to managers, policy acknowledgements, course versioning or an unalterable audit trail — the audit-log claim sits in a marketing comparison table — and the named use cases are AML, KYC and HIPAA examples, with no public information on occupational safety instruction regimes. 16 3 5 14
The Compliance Officer
Recurring training is genuinely well built: new cycles triggered by certificate expiry, course due date or re-enrollment, each cycle tracked separately with past cycles viewable per learner, grace periods, schedule preview and dedicated retraining emails. Assignment runs through rule-based smart groups and role or department paths, and SCORM reporting is explicitly framed as proving completion for audits with scheduled compliance exports. What I could not find anywhere: escalation of overdue training to the manager, course versioning that records which content version a person completed, policy acknowledgements or attestations, or an unalterable audit trail — the gradebook even allows manual score edits, progress resets and record deletion. 16 3 5 9
The Customer Education Lead
Retraining is genuinely built for expiring certifications: cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, each repeat tracked as a separate cycle with past cycles viewable, retraining notification emails, admin certificate revocation and even paid recertification, plus rule-based assignment via smart groups and automations, attendance through the live-training integrations and scheduled compliance exports. I did not find escalation to managers, course versioning with the completed version stored per learner, attestations or e-signatures, and the audit trail is described only as a marketing line about audit logs and tracking. 3 4 5 7 9 16
The Works Council Member
Recertification is genuinely built out — cycles triggered by certificate expiry, course due date or re-enrollment, each repeat tracked as a separate cycle, with grace periods, reminder emails, a per-learner history of past cycles and revocable certificates — and scheduled exports and audit-log claims sit alongside AML, KYC and HIPAA named as use cases. We found no public information on escalation to managers, policy acknowledgements with a signature, or course versioning, and the audit-trail claims appear as feature bullets rather than a documented, unalterable record an auditor could rely on. 3 5 16 20
The IT & HR Systems Admin
The retraining machinery is genuinely strong: recurring cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, grace periods, each repeat tracked as a separate cycle, past attempts kept in history with score-modification records, expiring and revocable certificates, scheduled compliance exports and rule-based smart groups for assignment. But I found no public information on manager escalation, policy attestations or e-signatures, and the audit evidence is a claim of "audit logs & tracking built-in" rather than a documented unalterable trail I could hand an auditor. 3 4 5 14 16
The Skeptic
Recertification is genuinely built: cycles triggered by certificate expiry or course due date, reminder emails, each repeat tracked as a separate cycle with past cycles viewable, expiring certificates, scheduled compliance exports and a score-modification history of who changed what and when. I miss escalation to managers, policy attestations, per-learner course versioning and named-regime support — HIPAA and AML/KYC appear as industry marketing examples, not stated certifications. 3 5 14 16
Onboarding, extended enterprise & academies
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Which audiences the product serves and how much runs without an administrator: onboarding journeys enrolled automatically from the HR system on the start date, manager and buddy tasks, frontline staff without a company email, multiple branded portals or tenants for customers, partners, franchisees or members, self-registration and SSO for external users, selling courses with checkout, subscriptions and coupons, partner certification programmes, and groups, branches and delegated administration.
0 — Serves no organisational audience; a personal course viewer only.
3 — Users can be grouped and enrolled by hand; automated onboarding and external audiences are basic or not described.
5 — Onboarding paths assigned automatically on creation of the user, groups or branches with their own administrators, a branded portal for external learners with self-registration, and either course sales with payment or several portals for different audiences.
8 — Onboarding triggered by HR-system events with manager tasks and checklists, login for frontline staff without email (username, QR code or kiosk), several branded tenants with separate content, reporting and administrators, course sales with subscriptions, bundles and invoices, and partner certification with renewal.
10 — Internal and external learning run from one platform at scale: unlimited tenants with their own domains and data separation stated, e-commerce with VAT handling and accounting integration, onboarding journeys that span HR, IT and the manager, and every audience reported on separately and together.
The Onboarding Lead
The automation engine with triggers, conditions and delays and step-by-step journeys is documented, and the external-academy side is strong — white-label portals, up to ten client groups on the Learning Center plan, self-registration, and a full commerce stack with subscriptions, bundles, coupons and course licenses. For my internal case, though, the native HR sync claim names no HR system, and we found no public information on manager or buddy tasks, onboarding checklists, or login for shift workers without a company email address, since the documented sign-up paths run through email forms and payment pages. This is the criterion that decides a rollout for me, and the day-one, HR-triggered path with a phone login in the worker's own language is not evidenced. 9 2 3 4 17 18
The Compliance Officer
Extended enterprise is real: white-label academies, centralized control across client portals with up to ten client groups on the Learning Center plan, custom user roles for team and external partners, and a complete commerce stack — checkout, subscriptions, bundles, coupons, gifts, bulk course licenses and off-platform payment with invoice download. Step-by-step automated journeys with triggers and conditions exist, and new users can self-register during purchase. We found no public information on onboarding triggered by HR-system events, manager tasks or checklists, or login for frontline staff without a company email. 4 9 18 17 2
The Customer Education Lead
This is close to my model: multi-academy management with centralized control across client portals, up to 10 client groups on the Learning Center plan, custom user roles for external partners, white-label apps, SSO via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, and full e-commerce with subscriptions, bundles, coupons and bulk course licenses. 2 3 4 7 9 18 22
The Works Council Member
For external audiences the offering is broad: white-label academies on a custom domain, self-registration at checkout, subscriptions, bundles, coupons, seat licenses and navigation across multiple academies with client groups. For a workforce like ours it is thinner — an HR sync and email-domain sign-up rules are claimed but no HR system is named, and we found no public information on manager tasks, onboarding checklists, or login for frontline staff without a company email address. 3 4 9 17 18
The IT & HR Systems Admin
External audiences and course sales are the strongest part: white-label multi-academy management, client groups (ten on Learning Center), self-registration with SSO, and full commerce with subscriptions, bundles, coupons, bulk course licences and invoice downloads. Internal onboarding rests on a single "native SSO & HR sync" comparison line with no named HR system and no manager or buddy tasks, and I found no public information on login for frontline staff without a company email. 2 3 4 9 17 18
The Skeptic
Extended enterprise is the heart of the product: white-label academies with custom domains, multi-academy management, client groups, self-registration at checkout, subscriptions, bundles, coupons, invoices and custom user roles for delegation. Internal onboarding is thinner — email-domain sign-up rules and an automation engine, but I found no manager tasks or checklists and no public information on login for frontline staff without email. 1 3 4 9 17 18
Reporting, learner data & works council
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the system shows about learning and about each learner, and how far the customer can limit it: dashboards and reports for L&D, managers and auditors, custom and scheduled reports, which learner data is recorded (completions, scores, time spent, logins), role-based visibility so managers see only their team, aggregated or pseudonymised reports, the option to switch off time tracking or scoring, retention and deletion rules, learner access to their own data, and material for a works agreement under §87(1) no. 6 BetrVG or the vendor's description of codetermination. Where the data is processed is scored under sovereignty.
0 — No reports, or individual learner activity shown to every administrator with no settings at all.
3 — Completion and progress reports exist and a privacy policy covers the product; what is recorded per learner and who sees it are basic or not described.
5 — Dashboards and custom reports with scheduled delivery, roles that restrict managers to their own team, the learner data recorded described, retention and deletion of learner records configurable, and a data processing agreement offered.
8 — Granular visibility per role and organisational unit, aggregated or pseudonymised reports for analytics, tracking of time spent or scores that can be switched off, automatic deletion after a set period, a learner data export, and a works council or codetermination guide, template works agreement or data protection impact assessment supplied.
10 — Learner data under the customer's full control and documented as such: every recorded field and every report listed with who can see it, privacy settings per country or entity, an audit log of who viewed learner data, and the codetermination position confirmed by a named works council, law firm or certification.
The Onboarding Lead
The Reports Center is deep and well documented — 95+ filters, custom user segments, scheduled email reports with per-plan quotas, XLS exports and a per-course trainer dashboard — enough to stop chasing completions by spreadsheet. What I need for the works council is thinner: we found no public information on restricting managers to their own team's data, aggregated or pseudonymised reporting, switching off time tracking or scoring, or any works-agreement material under German codetermination law. The retention rules we found are the vendor's own terms, such as deletion within nine months after the service ends, rather than configurable by the customer. 19 20 6 13 11 4
The Compliance Officer
The Reports Center documents user progress, engagement and registration analytics with 95-plus filters, custom segments, scheduled email delivery with plan quotas, and XLS export, and what is recorded per learner is described honestly, including that paused video time and hidden browser tabs are not counted. Custom user roles decide who accesses what, and a full GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement with pseudonymisation commitments is published. We found no public information on manager views restricted to their own team, configurable retention or deletion of learner records, switchable time tracking, or works council and codetermination material. 19 20 6 4 13
The Customer Education Lead
The Reports Center is strong: 95+ filters, custom user segments, scheduled emailed reports with per-plan quotas, exports, and unusual honesty about what is recorded — playing time only for videos, hidden tabs untracked, all SCORM activity time measured. For a works agreement there is nothing: I found no codetermination guide or template, no aggregated or pseudonymised reporting mode, no documented way to switch off time or score tracking, and visibility rests on general custom user roles rather than described manager-team scoping; retention rules are the vendor's own policies rather than customer-configurable. 4 6 13 19 20
The Works Council Member
The pages state plainly what is recorded about each learner — progression, exam results, survey answers, participation history, time spent in SCORM activities and video playing time — and a trainer dashboard surfaces exam scores and user behaviour per course, with 95+ filters, custom segments, scheduled XLS exports, role-based access and a published data processing agreement listing the processing purposes. For a works agreement under §87(1) no. 6 BetrVG the decisive levers are missing from what we read: we found no public information on switching off time or score tracking, aggregated or pseudonymised reporting, customer-configurable retention periods, or any codetermination guide or template works agreement. 4 6 12 13 14 19 20
The IT & HR Systems Admin
The Reports Center is solid for L&D: 95+ filters, custom user segments, scheduled reports exported as XLS to any number of email recipients, and an unusually honest account of what time tracking records (all activity for SCORM, playing time only for videos, hidden tabs never). But I found no public information on manager visibility restricted to their own team, on switching off time or score tracking, on customer-configurable retention, or on any works council or codetermination material I could take to our Betriebsrat. 6 12 13 19 20
The Skeptic
Reporting depth is real — 24+ charts, 95+ filters, custom and pre-made segments, scheduled email delivery with per-plan quotas, and a published data processing agreement — and the learner data recorded is described in detail. But I found no public information on restricting managers to their own team, on customer-configurable retention or deletion of learner records (retention appears as fixed vendor rules of two years), no option to switch off time tracking, and nothing on works councils or codetermination. 6 12 13 19 20
Integrations, administration & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the system fits the company and what leaving would cost: single sign-on (SAML, OpenID Connect) and user provisioning (SCIM) from Entra ID, Google or Okta, sync with HR systems (Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday), Microsoft Teams, Slack and video conferencing integrations, a documented REST API and webhooks, CRM and e-commerce connectors for academies, export of users, completions and certificates, export of courses as SCORM, open-source code, and a self-hosted or on-premise edition.
0 — No integrations and no export; users and records exist only inside the product.
3 — CSV import of users and an export of reports; SSO, an API and HR-system sync are basic or not described.
5 — SAML or OpenID Connect single sign-on, a documented REST API, a connector or documented sync for at least one named HR system, Microsoft Teams or video conferencing integration, and export of users, completions and certificates.
8 — SCIM provisioning, prebuilt connectors for several named HR, CRM and identity systems, webhooks, a public API reference with rate limits, a sandbox or test instance, courses exportable as SCORM, and a self-hosted or private-cloud edition with its own documentation.
10 — The customer can run, extend and leave the platform freely: open-source code under a named licence that runs fully self-hosted with feature parity stated, a complete export of users, history, certificates and content in open formats, and the return and deletion of all data on termination documented.
The Onboarding Lead
Single sign-on via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect against Entra ID, Okta or Google, a documented OAuth2 REST API with webhooks covering users, courses and certifications, and native Zoom, Teams, Webex and HubSpot connectors are all public. The gaps matter for us: we found no public information on SCIM provisioning or a connector for a named HR system such as Personio or SuccessFactors — the native SSO and HR sync claim names no system — and the security page states customer data is hosted on Google Cloud rather than on the vendor's premises, with no self-hosted edition documented and no public information on exporting courses as SCORM packages. 7 8 21 3 10
The Compliance Officer
Single sign-on via OpenID Connect and SAML 2.0 with Azure AD, Okta or Google, a documented OAuth2 REST API with webhooks, Zapier and Make automation, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and HubSpot connections, and export of user, progress and certification data via API are all documented, with a done-for-you migration off Moodle, LearnDash and others offered. We found no public information on SCIM user provisioning, a connector for any named HR system, API rate limits, or export of courses as SCORM packages, and the platform is offered as a cloud service on Google Cloud — we found no public information on a self-hosted edition. 7 8 21 3 13 10
The Customer Education Lead
SSO with SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect against Azure AD, Okta or Google, a documented OAuth2 REST API covering courses, users, payments and certifications, real-time webhooks, and a native HubSpot connector would cover my completions-into-CRM need. But no HR system is named anywhere, Salesforce works only through Zapier or custom API workflows, and I found no SCIM provisioning, no sandbox, no stated rate limits and no course export as SCORM — leaving the platform means extracting records one by one rather than taking the content with me. 7 8 9 21 22
The Works Council Member
Single sign-on via OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 with Entra ID, Okta and Google, a documented REST API with OAuth2 and webhooks, integrations for Teams, Zoom, Webex, HubSpot, Stripe and PayPal, and an API covering users, courses and certifications are all evidenced, with done-for-you migration off Kajabi, Moodle and others offered. We found no public information on SCIM provisioning or any named HR system for sync, and the vendor states it does not host customer data on its premises — so we found no public information on a self-hosted option, course export as SCORM, or API rate limits and a sandbox. 7 8 9 10 21
The IT & HR Systems Admin
SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect with Azure AD named among the identity providers, a documented OAuth2 REST API on Stoplight with webhooks covering users, courses and certifications on every plan, plus Microsoft Teams and HubSpot integrations — that covers most of our stack, and the DPA promises return of all personal data on request. But I found no public information on SCIM provisioning or any named HR connector (nothing on Personio), courses import as SCORM with no public information on exporting them back out as packages, and the platform is cloud-only with no self-hosted edition. 7 8 10 13 14 21
The Skeptic
OpenID Connect and SAML single sign-on, a documented OAuth2 REST API with webhooks covering courses, users, subscriptions and certifications, Teams and Zoom integrations, user-progress report exports and a DPA promising return of personal data on request are all evidenced. Leaving still costs: no SCIM provisioning, no named HR-system connector, no SCORM export of courses, no sandbox, and no self-hosted edition — the security page states customer data is hosted on Google Cloud rather than on the vendor's own premises. 7 8 10 13 19 21
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where learner data (names, completions, scores, certificates) is stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, video streaming, email, AI features, support and payment tools). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; learner records are employee data, so the whole chain counts, not only the database. A self-hosted or open-source edition the customer runs on its own European servers counts as the customer's chain, whatever the vendor's seat.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (video, email, AI features, support, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or a self-hosted edition documented that keeps every learner record on the customer's own servers.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or a self-hosted open-source edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Onboarding Lead
The contracting entity is European — LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd of Cyprus, with a published data processing agreement that lists its subprocessors — and a Frankfurt region exists on Google Cloud. The captured pages give different pictures of where learner data sits: the privacy policy says personal data is stored on Google Cloud servers in Europe and in the U.S.A., the security page lists US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore, and the data processing agreement names the hosting subprocessor as Google Cloud EMEA in Dublin. We found no public information on an EU-only hosting option, on the locations of most other subprocessors, or on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. 12 10 13
The Compliance Officer
The contracting entity is LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd in Cyprus with a published data processing agreement, and the subprocessor list names Google Cloud EMEA (Dublin), Cloudflare, Mailgun, Mixpanel, Freshworks, Zoom, Microsoft Azure and OpenAI, with standard contractual clauses and Data Privacy Framework safeguards stated. However, the captured pages give different figures for where learner data sits — the privacy policy says Europe and the U.S.A., while the security page lists US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore regions with no EU-only or EU-default option stated — and subprocessor locations beyond Google are not given; we found no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification statement. 13 10 12 11
The Customer Education Lead
The contracting entity is LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd in Limassol with a published data processing agreement, subprocessors are listed by name and purpose, and transfers rely on standard contractual clauses and the Data Privacy Framework. But the captured pages give different figures for where learner data sits — the privacy policy stores it in Europe and in the U.S.A., while the security page lists US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore servers with no EU-only option stated — only the Google Cloud subprocessor carries a location (Dublin), and the captured pages state no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. 10 12 13
The Works Council Member
The contracting entity is EU-based — LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd of Limassol — with a published data processing agreement naming subprocessors from Google Cloud EMEA in Dublin through Microsoft Ireland, OpenAI, Mailgun, Cloudflare, Freshworks and Zoom, and standard contractual clauses plus Data Privacy Framework listing stated as transfer safeguards. The captured pages give different statements on where learner data is stored — "stored on secure Google Cloud servers located in Europe and in the U.S.A." on the privacy page against four regions including the USA on the security page, with no EU-only option stated — and we found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. 10 12 13
The IT & HR Systems Admin
There is an EU contracting entity (LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd, Cyprus), a published data processing agreement under Article 28(3), subprocessors listed with their purposes — Google Cloud EMEA in Dublin, plus Cloudflare, Mailgun, Freshworks, Zoom, Mixpanel, and AI features through Microsoft Ireland and OpenAI — and standard contractual clauses plus Data Privacy Framework safeguards. But the captured pages give different pictures of where learner data sits: the privacy policy says Google Cloud servers located in Europe and in the U.S.A., while the security page lists regions in the USA, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore with no EU-only option stated; and I found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. 10 12 13
The Skeptic
The contracting entity is EU (LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd, Cyprus), the DPA is published with GDPR Article 28(3) clauses and audit rights, and subprocessors are named — Google Cloud EMEA (Dublin) for hosting, Microsoft Azure and OpenAI for AI, Zoom, Mailgun, Cloudflare, Mixpanel and Freshworks, with standard contractual clauses stated. But the privacy policy says personal data is stored on Google Cloud servers "located in Europe and in the U.S.A.", the security page lists US, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore regions with no EU-only option stated, and I found no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification on the captured pages. 10 12 13
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per tier by active or registered users, what counts as an active user, what happens above the tier, which features (SSO, API, HR connectors, extra portals, e-commerce, custom domain, content library) cost extra, the free tier or trial and its limits, implementation and support fees, the self-hosted edition and its licence, minimum term and VAT treatment.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, portals or features is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their price per user band and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (SSO, API, extra portals, HR connector, implementation) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (active or registered users, portals), the definition of an active user and overage stated, add-ons priced, the self-hosted edition's cost or licence stated, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of learners, portals and features, with every add-on, implementation, support and overage fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Onboarding Lead
Public and clear: a 30-day free trial with core features, up to 20% saved on annual billing, prices excluding VAT with reverse charge for EU VAT-registered businesses, 14-day refund terms, and named add-ons (branded mobile app, extra emails, AI credits) with per-plan AI credit allowances. But the captured pricing material names the plans — Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center, High Volume, and a custom-priced Corporate — while we found no public information on the actual price of any plan, on user limits, on how cost scales with learners, or on what the add-ons cost. As a buyer I could not compute the annual cost for 1,400 employees from these pages. 9 11 12
The Compliance Officer
Tier names and their feature inclusions, a 30-day trial, named add-ons (branded mobile app, extra emails, extra AI credits), VAT exclusion with EU and UK reverse-charge rules, refund and price-change terms, and the stated absence of setup and hidden fees are all public. But the captured pages show no price figures for any tier — the Corporate plan is simply 'Custom Pricing tailored to your business' — and how cost scales with users, seats or portals is not described, so an annual total cannot be computed from public information alone. 9 12 11 3
The Customer Education Lead
The tier structure is public — Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center, High Volume and Corporate — with a 30-day trial, VAT treatment (excluded, EU VAT number exempts, reverse charge), up to 20% annual saving and no setup fees. But the captured pricing pages show no price figures for any tier, only custom pricing for Corporate, no seat or active-user definition and no scaling rule for portals or learners, so I cannot compute the annual cost for 3,000 learners and 120 partner portals — exactly the doubling risk I am trying to avoid. 3 9 11
The Works Council Member
Plan names, a 30-day free trial, annual savings of up to 20%, VAT excluded with reverse charge for EU businesses, refund and cancellation terms and add-on names are public, and the vendor states there are no hidden or extra fees and no setup fees. The captured pages show no price per tier and no rule for how cost scales with users or academies, and the Corporate plan is quoted only as "Custom Pricing tailored to your business", so a real annual cost for our headcount cannot be computed from public pages. 3 9 11
The IT & HR Systems Admin
The pricing page is unusually open about what each tier contains — AI credits, SCORM limits, support hours, uptime and scheduled-report quotas per plan — plus a 30-day trial with all core features, VAT exclusion with reverse charge for EU businesses, no setup fees, and named add-ons. But the captured pages contain no price figures for the Starter, Pro Trainer or Learning Center tiers, the Corporate plan is "Custom Pricing tailored to your business", and nothing states how cost scales with users or portals, so I cannot compute our annual cost from public pages alone. 3 9 11 20
The Skeptic
The captured pricing page names four plans with their feature inclusions, AI-credit quotas, a 30-day trial, VAT treatment with EU reverse charge, no setup fees and refund and price-change terms — but no per-plan price figures appear in what I read, the Corporate plan is "Custom Pricing tailored to your business", and add-ons such as the branded mobile app carry "multiple price options" without figures. How cost scales with users or features is not described, so I cannot compute an annual cost from these pages. 3 9 11

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data processing agreement, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location. The same sentence says data is stored in Europe as well, and the security page (S4) lists servers in the USA, Frankfurt, São Paulo and Singapore, with no EU-default or EU-only option stated.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
