360Learning vs Gusto

360Learning is a corporate learning platform from Paris, founded in 2013 and led by co-founder and CEO Nicolas Hernandez. It raised a $200 million round in 2021 co-led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. Its core idea is collaborative learning: instead of a small L&D team producing every course, subject-matter experts across the company write and update content while L&D keeps oversight, and learners can comment and request courses.

The product combines an LMS, an LXP layer, customer and partner academies, skills management and AI tools. The AI Content Builder turns existing documents into interactive courses, AI translation localizes them, and recommendations connect learners with courses and internal experts. The Team plan costs $8 per user per month for up to 100 users with no annual commitment; Business and Enterprise are quoted and add flexible user models, advanced integrations and dedicated support. A 30-day trial is available.

It suits mid-sized and large companies with knowledge spread across teams: onboarding, sales enablement, compliance and frontline training. It is not built for selling courses to the public. Docebo is the closest enterprise rival with broader extended-enterprise options, TalentLMS is cheaper and simpler for SMBs, and Thinkific or LearnWorlds fit creators selling courses.

In October 2025 360Learning launched AI Companion, an in-platform assistant that starts with a search mode answering questions from company knowledge. Buying tip: pilot one use case on the monthly Team plan before negotiating a Business contract with HRIS integrations.

Gusto is payroll, benefits and HR software for small and mid-sized businesses in the United States. It was founded in 2011 in San Francisco as ZenPayroll, renamed Gusto in 2015, and has become one of the most common payroll choices for US startups, restaurants, agencies and accounting firms.

Full-service payroll calculates wages and deductions, files and pays federal, state and local taxes and produces W-2 and 1099 forms automatically. Around payroll, Gusto handles health insurance, 401(k) and workers' compensation through partner brokers, onboarding with offer letters and e-signature, time tracking, PTO policies, scheduling, compliance alerts and contractor payments in the US and more than 120 countries. Plans charge a monthly base fee plus a per-person fee: Simple for single-state payroll, Plus for multi-state teams with time tracking, Premium with HR support and compliance tools, and a Contractor Only plan.

Gusto fits US companies up to roughly 100 employees that want payroll to be easy and friendly, and accountants who manage many clients through its partner program. It only pays employees in the US; companies hiring abroad pair it with Deel or Remote for employer of record. Larger organizations that need IT, device management and a deeper HRIS move to Rippling, while ADP and Paychex suit those who want a traditional provider with more service options. Costs rise steadily with headcount.
