Consider this before you purchase

Pricing and seat‑based model

Trainual pricing starts at approximately €249/month for up to 25 users on the Small Business plan. For my clients I can offer 10% discount with the code GET10.

Costs scale up with team size: Medium at circa €279/month (26–50 users), Growth at roughly €419/month (51–100 users), and custom pricing beyond that. Additional seats or storage may incur extra charges. Teams should assess long‑term user count growth to avoid surprise overages.  

Ease of use and adoption

Users consistently highlight Trainual’s clean interface, intuitive content creation tools and AI‑assisted templates. It scores very highly for ease of use and onboarding, making it accessible even for non‑technical staff.  

Content structure and scalability

Trainual performs well for small and mid‑sized firms, yet its minimal folder structure and limited layout customisation can become a constraint as content volume grows. Larger organisations may find navigation and organisation less efficient at scale.  

Feature set and limitations

Core modules include SOP publishing, assignable training paths, quizzes, progress tracking, integrations via Slack/Zapier, and mobile‑friendly browser access. Reporting and analytics exist but lack deep customisation. The platform has fewer native integrations and limited course layout options versus some competitors.  

Value relative to alternatives

While reviewers appreciate Trainual’s convenience and reliability, some question the ongoing cost, especially for smaller firms. Alternatives and one‑off models (for example, building SOPs in Notion) may offer comparable value without a fixed monthly subscription.  

Trainual excels at making SOPs and training accessible, standardised and trackable—ideal for mid‑size service firms scaling client delivery or onboarding. But if your firm expects deep content libraries, complex workflows or tight budgets, you’ll want to compare lower‑cost or more flexible alternatives before committing.
