## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. TalentLMS** - My default recommendation for a small business that needs internal employee training (onboarding, compliance, skills). It's the easiest to stand up without a consultant, publishes its pricing (free tier for ~5 users; Core from $119/mo, Grow $229/mo, Pro $449/mo billed yearly), and has no long-term contract.

> 
> **2. iSpring Learn** - Best if you already live in PowerPoint. Its authoring tool (iSpring Suite) turns slide decks into real courses with quizzes and branching scenarios, which is the fastest path to content if you have existing training materials and no instructional designer.

> 
> **4. 360Learning** - Worth it if you want employees teaching each other rather than a top-down course catalog. Transparent entry pricing (~$8/user/mo on the Team plan, capped at
