Trainual Plans: Seats, Hubs, and Qualifying Tiers

Choose your Trainual plan by mapping must-haves to qualifying tiers — seats, hubs, pools, and add-ons — not homepage “from” tiles.

Quick answer

Choose a Trainual plan by mapping must-haves for SOP knowledge-base and role training to a qualifying tier — seats, hubs, pools, and add-ons included — not by comparing homepage “from” tiles. Confirm AI assistance (Core+) is on the package you will actually buy. Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, hubs, and quote terms on /pricing/trainual/.

  • List day-one must-haves
  • Map to a researched qualifying plan
  • Price hubs / add-ons you will actually use
  • Confirm trial or free proving ground
  • Write the quote before you buy

Trainual packaging rules

  • Tiles are the bottom layer Researched plans: Core, Pro, Premium, Enterprise.
  • Gates change the bill Plan-gated in research: AI assistance (Core, Pro, Premium, Enterprise).
  • Free is a proving ground Our snapshot records no trial length for Trainual — ask for an evaluation window in writing before you commit seats.
  • Wrong cluster, wrong comparison Do not compare Trainual (SOP knowledge-base and role training) to a public course-commerce LMS, an ATS, or a time clock on a single price tile.

Trainual qualifying configuration

Trainual plan anatomy: seats, hubs, gates, add-ons.
Read Trainual pricing from must-have gates upward; confirm numbers on the pricing page.

1. List must-haves, then qualify

Must-haves should match assign one role path, complete a playbook, and check completion evidence with a sceptic manager. Research-supported features include frontline communications, SOP knowledge base, employee training paths, and LMS course commerce. Worked example: Northline Ops (growing managers documenting tribal knowledge) drops a cheaper tile when the must-have workflow unlocks only on a higher hub.

2. Compare like for like

Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, hubs, and quote terms on /pricing/trainual/. Worked example: Northline Ops (growing managers documenting tribal knowledge) totals the qualifying configuration at their headcount — not the marketing starter tile — then asks for the quote in writing.

Nice-to-have
  • AI / SMS / extra hubs

Trainual checklist

Bring these questions to every demo

Ask vendors to show the workflow live, not just describe it.

  • 1List day-one must-havesFeatures that must ship without an unused enterprise tier.
  • 2Map to a qualifying planUse researched plan names — not marketing starting tiles.
  • 3Get the qualifying quote in writingSeats, hubs, add-ons, and implementation fees.

3. Map must-haves to plan names in writing

Feature gates researched on Trainual: AI assistance (Core, Pro, Premium, Enterprise). Map each must-have to the plan that unlocks it.

Compare Core, Pro, Premium, and Enterprise on the same headcount assumption.

Worked example: Growing companies (roughly 25–1000 employees) documenting SOPs and role training screenshots the plan shown in demo and matches it to /pricing/trainual/.

4. Model seats, usage, and add-ons together

Build one sheet: seats, usage units, add-on SKUs, and overage triggers for Trainual. Compare totals — not entry tiles.

5. Get a written quote on the qualifying configuration

Ask Trainual for a quote that names plan, seats, usage band, and add-ons. Store it next to alternatives with the same assumptions.

Worked example: Growing companies (roughly 25–1000 employees) documenting SOPs and role training files quotes in the same folder with identical date and headcount headers.

12. Before you sign with Trainual

Confirm the qualifying plan, non-admin proof, and integration owners in writing. Store quotes next to /pricing/trainual/ and the evaluation scorecard so finance can audit the same assumptions at renewal.

13. Write the decision memo

Name the job, the qualifying Trainual configuration, and what you are not buying yet. If stakeholders cannot explain why an alternative lost, the trial was not fair.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does a free Trainual plan count?

    Our snapshot records no trial length for Trainual — ask for an evaluation window in writing before you commit seats.

  • Should we pay annually?

    Only after the qualifying configuration is written. Annual discounts do not fix the wrong hub.
