Edtch.: The Best Alternative to TalentLMS for Adaptive E-Learning at an All-In Price

TalentLMS is recognized as the most affordable LMS with flexible pricing, but Edtch. offers an even better value-for-money. Its all-inclusive plans appeal to businesses that are serious about creating custom courses for their teams, not only trying to create them.

Edtch. offers fully-flexible solutions for corporate training at a fixed price. Course authoring looks, feels and is easier with Edtch.

See for yourself:

Edtch. allows (literally!) drawing learning paths in its visual course builder. In contrast, mapping out a course in TalentLMS looks like a tiring work you have to do with a very basic tool.

Branching is included in all Edtch. plans, and the number of branches is unlimited. In contrast, TalentLMS only provides unlimited branches for Enterprise users, and that will cost over $459/mo (the price of the Premium plan+).

“Edtch. has an awesome course editor! It's visual and it allows building non-linear courses – when a user can go different paths depending on how she answered a question or whether she'd watched a video till the end or not.”

Pay a fixed price for an adaptable solution

Edtch. offers all its features with any plan you choose. You may need to pay extra for additional seats or storage, but you won’t have to compromise functionality if your budget is limited.

TalentLMS users, on the other hand, have expressed disappointment with the recent price increases and reduced features, including the removal of the popular and valuable branches feature.

With Edtch., there are no distinctions between active learners, registered but idle users, and admins. As a customer, you pay a fixed price and can be confident that your needs in an LMS will be met throughout the entire billed period. No hidden costs may arise when all your learners take a course you have tailored to each of them.

Achieved results	📒 Easier work for course authors ➡️ Lower price for in-house course production 😍 More personalized experience for learners with branching available at all plans ➡️ Higher engagement with training, higher knowledge retention and applicability in further work	👍 More flexibility at the start (when choosing a paid plan or staying with a free plan) 👎 More work at the course creation stage 💸 Probably, more money to pay when you face feature restrictions
