## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick flag on sourcing: several of the "best for SMB" roundups that surface first are published by vendors ranking themselves (Hook Security, Adaptive, KnowBe4 all run such pages), so treat the pricing below as starting points to verify on a quote, not gospel.
> 
> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT (formerly Curricula)** - My default pick for a small business. Story-driven, genuinely watchable episodes, fully managed, and priced for small teams (Curricula's published tiers were ~$15-20/user/year before the Huntress acquisition). If you already run Huntress EDR or your MSP does, it bolts straight on with no extra admin.

> 
> **2. KnowBe4** - The biggest content and phishing-template library by a wide margin, plus industry benchmarking that's useful for cyber-insurance questionnaires. The catch: it's built for someone with an admin seat and time to configure campaigns. Reported SMB pricing
