360Learning vs HiBob

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.

HiBob makes Bob, a cloud HR platform for mid-sized companies with distributed or international teams. The company was founded in Tel Aviv in 2015 by Ronni Zehavi and Israel David, opened a US headquarters in New York in 2018, and has offices across Europe, North America and Australia. In September 2026 Salesforce led a $166 million investment in HiBob, reportedly at a valuation of about $3.2 billion.

Bob combines core HR records, org charts, employee self-service, onboarding and offboarding workflows, time and attendance, and analytics with optional modules for performance and goals, compensation (including Mercer benchmarking), hiring, learning, skills and workforce planning. Payroll is handled natively in the UK and US, and through Payroll Hub, which prepares payroll data for local providers, elsewhere. Pricing is quote-based per employee, typically on annual contracts.

Bob fits companies of roughly 50 to a few thousand employees spread across several countries that want a modern, employee-friendly HRIS. It is expensive for very small teams, has no public pricing, and native payroll covers only a few countries. BambooHR is simpler for US-centric SMBs, Personio is strong in Europe, and Rippling goes further into IT and finance automation.

HiBob is pushing into AI: Bob AI answers people questions, an MCP server exposes HR data to AI tools, and a June 2026 Slackbot HCM integration lets employees query HiBob data inside Slack. In Turkey, plan on a local payroll provider alongside Bob.
