Credits are consumed when generating and refining courses; a single credit supports one course generation action. This means light users on lower-tier plans do not pay for capacity they don't use, and larger teams on higher tiers get proportionally more course output for their spend. Credit allowances per plan: - Free: 20 credits per month - Starter: 60 credits per month - Pro: 300 credits per month - Team: 700 credits per month Note: Free-tier credits reset monthly and do not roll over. Paid plans include roll-over policies as detailed in the account settings. Pay-as-you-go top-ups: Additional credits can be purchased on any plan (including the free tier) at $0.72 per credit, sold in packs of 25 for $18. This is designed for teams with variable or seasonal training needs that do not fit a fixed monthly subscription, or for one-off projects. Annual billing: Annual billing options are available on paid plans and offer a discount versus monthly billing. Contact sales for annual pricing.

    It is pretty well suited for information sharing. Where it lacks is training that requires discussions or a lot of complex thinking or decision-making. For content like that, we will usually host live sessions so we can facilitate discussions and actually hear from the learners on how they are using the material that they may have learned in a Rise course

    Pros
    Articulate Global Inc.
    • Each time I think of an idea for making the course more visually appealing or creative, Articulate 360 has already prepared the functionality.
    • The translation/localization feature is intuitive, fits our work flow, and works great.
    • The UI for Storyline and Rise are clear and intuitive.

    Cons
    Articulate Global Inc.
    • I would like to see features like video creating software within the tool.
    • Triggers could be made easier for new users. This may be solved with AI (i.e., tell AI what you want, and AI will create the trigger for you).

    This has been a huge time saver with all the new features. It has become a trusted platform for ease of use and reliability. Cost per license continues to stay at a good point for renewal. Using it to think outside of our current needs and innovate in a timely manner.

    Usability
    Articulate Global Inc.
    I love the tool and while I do use others, this is my go to for Rise and Storyline. While Rise is very easy to use, Storyline is a learned platform. I do not have anyone on my team, yet, and will need to catch new ID up to speed which is why I rated 9

    Support Rating
    Articulate Global Inc.
    I rate the overall support for Articulate 360 ​​with a 9. On the one hand because of the smooth and accurate support from Articulate's support team (usually within 24 hours) and on the other because of the commitment / use of a community (e-learning Heroes) where I have all kinds of insights from other helpful users.

    The online training options given by the online tutorials, forums, and "E-Learning Heroes" community are simply awesome. Examples galore, easy to understand descriptions including step-by-step guides, images, occasionally videos, and the "Articulate Insiders" sub-community give you more materials to learn about Storyline than you are likely to be able to read.

    Articulate Global Inc.
    Outside of having to dedicate a powerful enough PC for the installation and having to update Flash in our browsers there really isn't much pain involved in using Articulate. For the most part this is an easy to implement and roll-out product. The installation occurs quickly and smoothly with no additional steps needed.

    Articulate 360 is the industry leader for e-learning authoring. While we use the Adobe Creative Suite for artistic support, we find that when it comes to authoring tools, Articulate products are superior in both design and accessibility. Articulate 360 has strong support behind it and has deep educational resources for new and intermediate users.

    Return on Investment
    Articulate Global Inc.
    • The immersive 360 image activities allowed us to train our field engineers on dangerous topics and environments like electrical safety and on-site safety without even putting a hard hat on.
    • The new AI outline features have decreased our time-to-product by at least 30%
    • The use of a single suite of tools, (along with the creative cloud) led to decreased annual costs over alternative piecemeal solutions.
