## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My short list
> 
> **1. Huntress Managed SAT - my default pick for most small businesses.** ~$2.08/learner/month, billed annually, no tiers or add-ons. It's the one built specifically for shops with nobody whose job is "run the training program": setup is minutes, the curriculum and phishing simulations run themselves on a schedule, and reporting is already packaged for an auditor or insurer. If you have fewer than ~100 people and no dedicated IT security person, start here.

> 
> **2. KnowBe4 - pick this if you need compliance breadth, not just phishing.** Roughly $1.30-$2.35/user/month across its Silver-to-Diamond tiers, and by far the largest content library (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, harassment, the lot). The catch is real: it's priced and designed for someone who will actually log in and administer it, and the cheap per-user rates assume meaningful seat counts.
