## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My actual shortlist
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT (formerly Curricula)** - my default recommendation for a small business. Story-based animated episodes that people genuinely don't hate, phishing simulations included, and it's built to be "set it and forget it," which matters when nobody at your company owns security full-time. Highest-rated in its category on G2 (4.8). Main knock: reporting depth is thinner than the old guard. ([comparisec review](https://www.comparisec.com/vendors/security-awareness-training/huntress-managed-sat-curricula), [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/huntress-managed-security-awareness-training/reviews))
> 
> **2. Hook Security** - the best price/effort ratio if you're under ~50 people: $999/year flat, or $2/seat/month. Fully managed, near-zero admin burden. Pick this over Huntress if you want published pricing and no sales call. ([Hook Security](https://www.hooksecurity.co/blog/best-security-awareness-training-small-business))
> 
> **3. usecure** - the one I'd name if you also need policy management and simple compliance evidence (cyber insurance questionnaires, SOC 2 lite). Transparent per-user pricing, includes a policy module so you're not buying a second tool.
