Common Questions
Q: Does 360Learning have a free plan?
A: No, 360Learning does not offer a free plan. It provides a 30-day free trial on its Team plan ($8/user/month for up to 100 users). After the trial, paid subscription is required. Enterprise pricing for 100+ users is custom and requires contacting their sales team directly.
Q: Does Slab have a free plan?
A: Yes, Slab's free plan supports up to 10 users with unlimited posts, 90-day version history, and real-time collaboration. It's one of the most generous free tiers in the internal wiki category. The paid Startup plan ($6.67/user/month billed annually) unlocks unlimited version history, advanced analytics, and priority support.
Q: How does 360Learning pricing change for large teams?
A: 360Learning is transparent up to 100 users at $8/user/month, but switches to opaque custom pricing above 100 users on the Business plan. There is no published price for Business tier — teams must contact sales for a quote. This makes budget forecasting difficult for growing organizations and is a common frustration among enterprise buyers evaluating the platform.
Q: What hidden costs should I watch for with Slab?
A: Slab's main hidden cost is capability-driven: the platform has no AI features, no custom domains, and no API access at any price tier, meaning teams that need those features must either stay with a limited tool or invest in migration later. Additionally, SSO and advanced security features require the unpublished Business plan, and Slab is not SOC 2 certified — which can trigger compliance-driven platform changes in enterprise procurement cycles.
Q: Can 360Learning and Slab be used together?
A: Technically yes — some organizations use Slab as a general internal wiki for company knowledge while using 360Learning for structured L&D courses and compliance training. They serve different use cases: Slab stores reference documentation; 360Learning delivers structured learning paths. However, maintaining two separate tools creates documentation silos and additional subscription costs. Teams frequently consolidate once they find a platform that handles both.
Q: Is there a better alternative to both 360Learning and Slab?
A: Yes — Docsie addresses the core gaps both tools share. Neither 360Learning nor Slab can deliver documentation to external customers, create multi-tenant branded portals, convert training videos into searchable documentation, or support 100+ language auto-translation. Docsie's workspace-based pricing ($199/month flat for teams of 15) also avoids per-seat cost inflation. It combines an AI-powered knowledge base, built-in LMS with certifications, multi-tenant delivery, and video-to-docs conversion in a single platform — making it a genuine alternative to running both 360Learning and Slab simultaneously.
Deep Dive
A closer look at three critical pricing dimensions — value for money, scalability costs, and hidden limitations — to help you make an informed decision.
Slab wins on raw affordability: $0 for up to 10 users and $6.67/user/month thereafter makes it the cheapest internal wiki on the market. But cheapest isn't the same as best value. Slab has zero AI features, no translation, no custom branding, and no API access — you're paying for a basic wiki editor and search. 360Learning at $8/user/month delivers meaningful additional value: AI course creation, SCORM compliance, HR integrations, social learning, and mobile access. For pure internal wikis, Slab is hard to beat. For L&D teams building structured training programs, 360Learning justifies its modest premium. Neither tool, however, justifies any spend if you need external documentation delivery.
Both tools hit a pricing cliff at scale. Slab's Business plan (for teams needing SSO or advanced security) carries no published price — you must contact sales. 360Learning follows the same pattern: transparent at $8/user/month up to 100 users, then opaque custom pricing for 100+ users with no published ceiling. Per-user pricing models compound quickly. A 200-person team on 360Learning's Business tier could easily exceed $20,000–$30,000 annually, depending on negotiated rates. Slab's per-user model scales similarly. Teams adding users frequently face unpredictable budget growth with no self-serve controls. Neither vendor offers usage-based or consumption pricing as an alternative.
Both tools have structural limitations that create hidden costs when teams outgrow them. 360Learning doesn't support customer-facing documentation portals, knowledge base management, or multi-tenant delivery — organizations building external training programs must purchase a separate platform entirely. Slab lacks AI writing tools, translation, custom domains, and API access even on paid plans; teams that need these features must either supplement with additional tools or migrate. For 360Learning, the jump from Team ($8/user) to Business (custom) includes no pricing guide, creating budget uncertainty. Slab's lack of SOC 2 may trigger a platform switch for enterprise procurement. Hidden integration costs for HR systems (on 360Learning) and the complete absence of automation capabilities (on Slab) are worth factoring in.
