## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT** - my default pick for most small businesses. ~$2.08/learner/month billed annually, and it's genuinely *managed*: monthly episodes and phishing simulations get scheduled and run for you, so it survives the reality that nobody at a 20-person company owns "security training." It also has the strongest user reviews in the category (4.9/5 on G2), and directory sync means you stop paying for ex-employees. Its training content lineage is Curricula, which Huntress acquired - so if you were comparing the two, they're now the same house.

> 
> **2. KnowBe4** - pick this if you have a compliance driver (cyber-insurance questionnaire, SOC 2, HIPAA, a customer security review). Biggest content library by a wide margin and the best reporting for proving to an auditor that training happened. Published pricing runs roughly $1.30-$2.65/user/month across four tiers. The catch: it assumes someone will log in and configure campaigns. If no one will, you'll get less out of i
