360Learning vs LearnWorlds

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.

LearnWorlds is an online course platform for professional educators, training companies and businesses that sell or deliver learning. It is developed by a European company and stands out for interactive video: you can place questions, notes, pointers and navigation inside a video, and the platform generates transcripts that learners can search and follow along with.

Courses can mix video, ebooks, quizzes, graded assessments, assignments and SCORM or HTML5 packages, and finish with certificates. A built-in website builder, sales pages, payment processing, coupons, bundles and subscriptions handle selling, while community spaces and a white-label mobile app add engagement. AI tools help draft course outlines, quizzes and ebooks. Plans start with Starter, which charges a 5 dollar fee per course sale, then move to Pro Trainer and Learning Center, which remove the fee and add advanced features, white-label options and user roles; Corporate is a custom enterprise plan.

LearnWorlds fits training businesses selling certifications, companies running customer or employee academies, and educators who care about learning design more than marketing funnels. The admin interface has a learning curve, good-looking sites take design effort, and the higher tiers cost more than simple creator platforms. Teachable and Thinkific are easier to start with, Kajabi focuses on marketing funnels for creators, and Podia is simpler for selling a mix of digital products.
