> **1. Huntress Security Awareness Training (formerly Curricula)** - My default pick for most small businesses. It's story-based animated training that people actually finish, built specifically for SMBs rather than retrofitted from enterprise. Huntress [bought Curricula for $22M in 2022](https://www.huntress.com/press-release/huntress-acquires-curricula-for-22m-to-disrupt-security-training-market-elevate-cyber-readiness-for-smb-employees-0646f) and folded it into their platform, so if you're already using Huntress EDR/MDR (very common in the SMB and MSP world), it's one vendor, one bill, one console. Legacy Curricula reviews were strong - [4.8/5 on SaaSworthy](https://www.saasworthy.com/product/curricula-security-awareness/reviews), with users specifically calling out that the cartoons make it memorable.
> 
> **2. KnowBe4** - The 800-pound gorilla, and still the right answer if you need deep compliance reporting or the largest content and phishing-template library. Four tiers (Silver through Diamond), roughly [$0.90-$1.70/seat/month billed annually](https://www.spendhound.com/marke
