360Learning vs Perculus

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.

Perculus is a live virtual classroom and webinar platform built for teaching rather than generic meetings. Development started in Istanbul in 2008 under Zafer Gürel, with Cem Atacık among the founders, alongside Advancity, the Turkish distance-learning firm behind the ALMS platform. Perculus raised $400,000 from Boğaziçi Ventures in 2022 and was acquired in March 2025 by Constructor Tech, the Swiss edtech group behind Constructor University.

Instructors get a session planner for agendas, documents and activities, a multi-state whiteboard, breakout rooms, polls, games and achievements that keep students active, attendance tracking, recordings and post-session reports. Participants join from a desktop or mobile browser without installing an app, and sessions range from one-to-one lessons to webinars of around 1,000 people. Licenses are per named instructor (unlimited sessions, one at a time), with a free-forever plan and on-premise or white-label options.

Perculus fits universities, training departments and course providers that need classroom-specific tools such as attendance, activities and LMS-linked sessions. It is weaker as a general meeting tool and has a smaller ecosystem than Zoom, while Livestorm and BigMarker are better for marketing webinars with registration funnels and analytics for lead generation.

Perculus cites 350+ institutions, and acquisition coverage put its instructors above 200,000. Pricing and demo links on perculus.com now point to Constructor Tech's Constructor Groups, so confirm brand, contract and data location before you sign.
