The short answer
Under the stated one-license-to-one-learner assumption, Allure Connect’s matching list plans are approximately 72% to 80% lower in the three approved scenarios. Treat that as scenario math, not a universal savings promise.
Choose by operating model
Which product fits the job?
Choose Allure Connect when…
- Your monthly usage maps to distinct active learners and fits an included Allure Connect allowance.
- The same learners take several courses and you want each learner counted once per period.
- You want published base pricing that also includes the Allure Connect runtime and delivery model.
Choose SCORM Dispatch when…
- The active-license model matches how you sell and administer access.
- Its published per-license band produces a better result for your real license volume.
- You have validated its operating model independently of this list-price comparison.
Published list-price scenarios
State the unit, then compare the price.
Assumption: one monthly active SCORM Dispatch license equals one distinct Allure Connect active learner. Taxes, annual terms, and usage outside the stated allowance are excluded.
| Scenario | Allure Connect | SCORM Dispatch | Result in this scenario |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 active units | Starter: $49 | SCORM Dispatch: $172.50 at $0.69 per active license. | Allure Connect is approximately 72% lower in this scenario. |
| 1,500 active units | Growth: $149 | SCORM Dispatch: $750 at $0.50 per active license. | Allure Connect is approximately 80% lower in this scenario. |
| 7,500 active units | Scale: $499 | SCORM Dispatch: $2,325 at $0.31 per active license. | Allure Connect is approximately 79% lower in this scenario. |
| Monthly active licenses | Price per active license |
|---|---|
| 150 to 499 | $0.69 |
| 1,000 to 2,499 | $0.50 |
| 7,500 to 9,999 | $0.31 |
Decision guide
Capabilities that change the decision
This is not a checklist designed to make one column win. It separates the operating models, strengths, and limits that matter after purchase.
| Decision | Allure Connect | SCORM Dispatch |
|---|---|---|
| Published billing unit | Distinct active learners in a monthly period, with one learner counted once even when that learner opens more than one course. | Monthly active licenses, priced per license within the published volume band used by each scenario below. |
| 250-unit scenario | Starter lists at $49/month for 250 active learners. | 250 active licenses at the published $0.69 rate total $172.50/month. |
| 1,500-unit scenario | Growth lists at $149/month for 1,500 active learners. | 1,500 active licenses at the published $0.50 rate total $750/month. |
| 7,500-unit scenario | Scale lists at $499/month for 7,500 active learners. | 7,500 active licenses at the published $0.31 rate total $2,325/month. |
| Comparison boundary | The scenarios use Allure Connect monthly list prices before any learner usage charges; course counts are capacity guidance and are not billed. | The scenarios assume one monthly active SCORM Dispatch license maps to one Allure Connect active learner. Confirm that mapping against your own licensing workflow. |
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is an active license the same thing as an Allure Connect active learner?
Not necessarily. The scenarios make a transparent one-license-to-one-learner assumption so the published list prices can be compared. Model how your actual license assignments map to distinct monthly learners before relying on the totals.
How were the SCORM Dispatch totals calculated?
Each monthly active-license count is multiplied by the USD per-license rate published for that volume band: $0.69 at 250, $0.50 at 1,500, and $0.31 at 7,500.
Does this comparison include Allure Connect usage charges?
No. The three scenarios stay within the included active-learner allowance of the matching Allure Connect plan, so they compare monthly base list prices. Course capacity and any usage above the included allowances should be modeled separately.
Map your real licensing unit before comparing totals.
Bring the monthly license count, distinct learner count, and course mix. We’ll show which Allure Connect allowance and usage terms fit that model.
