Skilltype review
A training-led skills platform combining audits, recommendations, learning paths, and dashboards.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Skilltype is a web-based skills intelligence platform for organizations developing their people. It maps workforce skills, identifies gaps, organizes teams, curates training sequences, tracks learning progress, and provides recommendations. Its audience includes education, healthcare, government, nonprofits, associations, workforce programs, and other organizations using skills data for development and planning. The product is particularly suited to teams that want training recommendations tied to a structured skills ontology rather than a standalone course catalog.
Pricing is organized by employee bands rather than a per-seat charge. Branch starts at $1,500 per year or $156 per month and includes the Central Index, skills ontology and gap analysis, individual learning paths, basic reporting and dashboards, one admin seat, and SSO/SAML. Network costs $4,000 annually or $417 monthly, adding team and department analytics, manager dashboards, custom learning lists, three admin seats, and priority email support. System is $9,000 per year or $938 monthly, with consortium and alliance views, read-only API access, unlimited admin seats, phone and email support, and a dedicated success manager. Enterprise is $18,000 annually or $1,875 monthly, adding full API access, custom onboarding and migration, multi-site and consortium administration, and a 99.9% uptime target. Annual billing is lower than monthly billing on the listed plans.
The platform’s strongest fit is a training-led development program that needs skills inventories, talent audits, learning sequences, manager views, and scheduled recommendation digests in one system. Its web and API access, SSO/SAML, and expanding administration options support organizations that need structured access across teams or sites. However, Skilltype is less suitable for buyers prioritizing verified internal mobility or workforce-planning capabilities. Organizations with more than 1,500 employees need to contact sales for Enterprise+ pricing, and buyers needing write access through the API must choose Enterprise. Choose Skilltype when closing identified skill gaps through learning is the central goal; consider an alternative when broader talent movement or workforce planning is the priority.
