Pros & cons

Pricing

Enterprise is custom-priced. Site advertises 'NEW LOWER PRICES' from $18/mo annual.

Tips & Best Practices

1. Use SCORM export to embed videos directly in Articulate Storyline or Cornerstone LMS
2. Trigger auto-translation when the English master script is finalised — not before — to avoid redundant re-translations
3. Use Expressive Avatars for customer-facing content; standard avatars for internal training where cost is the constraint
4. Set up Brand Kit before inviting team members to prevent style drift across creators
