Our verdict on Skilljar
Skilljar is a cloud-based learning management system for companies delivering customer, partner, or other external training. It combines branded Academy sites with courses, learning paths, personalized learner journeys, quizzes, knowledge assessments, proctored exams, completion certificates, and external certifications. Customer education teams can also connect enrollment, engagement, completion, and benchmark reporting with product adoption, customer success, and revenue programs. Its audience ranges from teams starting an Academy to enterprises scaling training across thousands of learners.
The published plans are Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise, with annual subscriptions and an active-user fee. Essentials includes one Academy Site with Custom Themes, unlimited seats and courses, standard integrations, the Skilljar REST API, learner SSO, and certifications. Professional adds a second Academy Site with Custom Themes, premium integrations, admin SSO, content syndication, and external management. Enterprise adds a third Academy Site with Custom Themes, premium integrations, and support for teams scaling to thousands of learners. Choosing among the tiers depends mainly on Academy Site requirements, administrative access, integration needs, and organizational scale.
Skilljar fits environments that need learning activity connected to a wider customer and partner ecosystem. Integrations include Salesforce, Gainsight, Zoom, Webex, GoTo, Zendesk, Stripe, PayPal, Google Analytics, Credly, Accredible, Okta, Microsoft Azure, Google Login, and OneLogin. REST API access and webhooks support learning-data connections and automation, while payments, subscriptions, credits, and promo codes support paid education programs. It is a strong match for organizations seeking a focused external LMS with monetization, certification, SSO, and reporting. Teams wanting a free starting tier or a non-web deployment should consider alternatives.
