Rustici has been a major player in the e-learning world for years. They contributed to the development of the SCORM standard and the innovative xAPI project, which earned them an excellent reputation. In addition to their work on standards, they offer tools and services like SCORM Cloud, SCORM Engine, and Content Controller.
SCORM Cloud, their most well-known product, enables organizations and content creators to host, manage, and share SCORM packages. It’s a robust solution, but its pricing strategy can be complicated—and might cost you more than it’s worth.
Linqur is the go-to solution for organizations working with e-learning standards like SCORM, xAPI, and LTI. Our tools help content creators and organizations easily share and manage their learning content across multiple LMS platforms. Whether you want to distribute SCORM courses, connect systems through LTI, or find a scalable way to manage your e-learning, Linqur provides the tools to make it happen.
Our clients are diverse, ranging from course creators who want to deliver training materials through their customers’ LMSs to businesses looking for seamless system integrations. At Linqur, we focus on simplicity and flexibility without sacrificing functionality or scalability.
With services like SCORM Proxy, LTI Provider Service, and our flexible pricing model, we make the complex world of e-learning standards accessible for everyone. At Linqur, it’s all about user-friendliness, transparency, and providing customized solutions where needed. This makes us an ideal partner for both small businesses and large enterprises with complex learning needs.
Rustici uses a subscription-based pricing model, where you choose a tier upfront. While this approach has its pros and cons, it may not always work in your favor.
Linqur offers a more flexible pricing model tailored to various organizations' needs:
Pay monthly: Like Rustici, we offer a monthly subscription, but we calculate costs based on actual usage at the end of the month. You’re automatically placed in the most cost-effective tier.
Credit-based system: Want to pay upfront and enjoy bulk discounts? Our credit model makes it easy.
Enterprise solutions: For larger organizations, we provide customized agreements, so you only pay for what you really need.
This model eliminates the complexity of overage fees and choosing an upfront tier. You always pay the lowest price based on your usage.
| Feature | Rustici | Linqur |
| Monthly Model | Fixed price, chosen upfront | Flexible pricing, calculated after usage |
| Extra Costs | High overage fees | No extra costs |
| Flexibility | Limited | Highly flexible: monthly, credit, or custom |
| Complexity | Relatively complex | Simple and transparent |
Imagine you subscribe to a plan for 50 registrations with both Linqur and Rustici. Mid-month, you unexpectedly need 50 more registrations, doubling your usage. What would this cost you?
With Rustici, your base subscription for 50 registrations costs €85. Adding 50 extra registrations results in €170 (50 × €3.40) in overage fees, totaling €255 for the month.
At Linqur, we do things differently. We assess your actual usage and adjust your pricing to the appropriate tier. For 50 registrations, the cost is €75. With 100 registrations, you automatically move to the 100-registration tier, costing €100.
Our pricing strategy is designed to make your life easier. We know no one likes overpaying, and you’d rather focus on your core tasks than navigating complex subscription tiers. With Linqur, you get simplicity, flexibility, and transparency, so you always know where you stand.
