Common Questions
Q: Is Dubble really free, and what are the limitations?
A: Yes, Dubble has a genuinely free plan that includes 25 guides with basic sharing — no credit card required. The main limitation is the 25-guide hard cap, which most active teams hit quickly. There is no free trial for paid features; you must upgrade to Pro ($18/user/month) for unlimited guides, video recording, custom branding, and PDF export.
Q: Does Trainual offer a free plan or free trial?
A: Trainual does not offer a free plan. It provides a 7-day free trial on its Build plan, which starts at $249/month for up to 10 seats. The Manage and Scale tiers require a direct sales conversation for pricing, meaning you cannot self-serve your way into Trainual's advanced features. Annual billing typically provides a discount over monthly rates.
Q: How does Trainual's pricing scale beyond 10 users?
A: Once you exceed 10 users, Trainual moves you to the custom-priced Manage tier, which requires contacting sales. This lack of pricing transparency makes it difficult to budget for growth. The Scale tier (which adds SSO and a dedicated CSM) is also custom-priced. Teams planning to grow beyond 10 people should factor in the likelihood of a price increase during the first renewal conversation.
Q: Which tool is cheaper for a team of 20 people?
A: For 20 users, Dubble's Team plan costs $240/month ($12/user/month). Trainual's Build plan only covers 10 seats at $249/month, so 20 users would require the custom-priced Manage tier — likely more expensive. Dubble wins on raw cost at this scale, but only for browser-workflow capture, not the structured training features Trainual provides.
Q: Can Dubble and Trainual be used together?
A: Yes, some teams use Dubble to create browser-based process guides and embed or link them within Trainual training playbooks. However, this creates a two-platform cost and maintenance burden. If your primary need is process documentation that feeds into training, a unified platform like Docsie handles both content creation and structured training delivery without duplication.
Q: Is there a better alternative to both Dubble and Trainual?
A: Docsie addresses the core gaps both tools share. Unlike Dubble, Docsie is a full knowledge base and documentation platform with version control, multi-tenant portals, and enterprise compliance — not just a screenshot guide generator. Unlike Trainual, Docsie converts any video (not just text-written playbooks) into structured documentation and delivers it to multiple client or department portals simultaneously, with a built-in LMS for completion tracking and certifications. Docsie's $199/month Premium plan covers 15 users with AI-powered content creation, 100+ language translation, and SOC 2 compliance — making it a stronger value than either tool for teams with serious documentation needs.
Deep Dive
Dubble offers genuine value at the low end — a free tier with 25 guides and a Pro plan at $18/user/month that unlocks video recording, custom branding, and PDF export. For a small team of five, the Team plan costs just $60/month total. Trainual's floor is $249/month for 10 seats, which pencils out to $24.90/user/month — more expensive per seat than Dubble Pro, and for a fundamentally different product category. Dubble wins on raw affordability, but its limited feature set means many teams quickly outgrow it and need an additional platform anyway.
Dubble's per-user model means costs grow linearly with headcount. At 25 users on Pro, you're paying $450/month — at which point Trainual's workspace model becomes more competitive. Trainual's Manage tier (10+ seats) is custom-priced, but workspace pricing generally scales more favorably than per-seat models for larger teams. However, Trainual's Scale tier (required for SSO and dedicated support) adds another pricing jump with no published rates. Both tools have cost cliffs as you grow — Dubble through seat count, Trainual through tier upgrades that require sales conversations.
Dubble's hidden cost is what it cannot do — no knowledge base, no analytics, no versioning, and no enterprise integrations mean most growing teams must purchase additional tools alongside it. Trainual's hidden costs are more structural — the $249/month Build plan excludes advanced reporting, role-based permissions, SSO, and a dedicated CSM, all of which require upgrading to Manage or Scale tiers with undisclosed pricing. Neither tool supports multi-language documentation, meaning global teams face a full platform replacement rather than an upgrade. Neither offers multi-tenant portals for serving multiple clients or departments from one system.
