eCoach Combines LMS with Authoring Tool at Disruptive Price

InSeptember 2017, eCoach merged two products—a standalone authoring tool and alearning management system—to create a single integrated eLearning platform forthe creation and delivery of online training content.

Whatwere formerly separate plans for a cloud-based authoring tool and a learningmanagement system have been folded together to create a new, combined eLearningproduct. Pricing plans for the new offering range from a free account withunlimited authoring capabilities and a limited learning management system tofully featured enterprise solutions.

eCoachmade the decision to combine their product offerings after seeing frustrationwithin the industry at the disconnect between authoring tools and learningmanagement systems and realizing that there was a lack of combined offerings onthe market.

Themost affordable of the paid eCoach packages is the Starter plan. eCoach hopesthat the Starter plan will disrupt better-known LMS offerings in thesmall-scale training market thanks to a highly competitive pricing point andthe promise of an built-in authoring tool. For just $29 a month, Starter planaccount holders can create and deliver online training for up to 20 monthlyactive users. Alongside a cloud-based authoring tool, the Starter plan comes withall the features of a fully fledged learning management system, from granularreporting and analytics to user management and permission levels. The result isa one-platform solution for creating and delivering small-scale online trainingat under $350 a year.

eCoachis excited to show their new platform and range of pricing plans at theupcoming DevLearn 2017,with COO Ryan Macpherson commenting, “Never has the online training market hada one-platform solution starting at just $29 a month to develop, train, andreport on truly engaging eLearning … we are disrupting the big tools in priceand ease of use.”
