FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nThreatcop is a strong first shortlist option if you want phishing simulations and targeted learning evaluated together. Compare it with a managed offering if nobody can operate the program, a self-service platform if you want direct control, and Microsoft Attack simulation training if your existing licenses include the required entitlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide compares 13 options for US small businesses, with product and pricing sources checked on October 21, 2026. The shortlist includes direct platforms and options available through an IT service provider. Confirm the purchase route before treating a vendor as available on the same terms to every business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Quick verdict: which option should you evaluate first?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Threatcop: start here when you want simulations, risk-based learning, tracking, and reminders assessed as one program rather than separate purchases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Huntress or Hook Security: compare managed delivery when the limiting factor is who schedules, maintains, and follows up on the program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- CanIPhish or Wizer: compare their free entry points and paid package boundaries when you need to start small and understand what an upgrade adds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- KnowBe4 or PhishingBox: compare campaign control, learning administration, reporting, and the term behind the published price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- usecure, Phin, CyberHoot, or Phished: evaluate automation and the service arrangement that will keep the program operating after launch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Microsoft Attack simulation training or ESET: consider the fit of an existing security relationship, while checking the actual training entitlement and scope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nThreatcop \u2013 Book a Free Demo<\/title>\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Outfit:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n<style>\n .tc-wrap , .tc-wrap ::before, .tc-wrap ::after { box-sizing: border-box;

What should a small business compare before price?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with 4 questions: who runs the program, how employees are added and removed, what happens after an exercise, and how you retrieve evidence. These questions reveal the work that a per-seat price does not show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 15-person consultancy, a 60-person distributor, and a 100-person software company can have different needs even when their employee counts fit the same pricing band. Shared devices, contractors, remote work, customer requirements, and your available IT support change the buying decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Buying question<\/th><th>What to request<\/th><th>Why it matters to a small team<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Who runs it?<\/td><td>Named ownership for schedules, content, exceptions, and reports<\/td><td>Automation still needs someone to handle changes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Who receives training?<\/td><td>Demonstration of joiners, leavers, groups, and exclusions<\/td><td>A stale roster creates missing records and wasted seats<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What does the employee do?<\/td><td>A lesson, an exercise, and the reporting path on actual devices<\/td><td>A feature only helps if staff can use it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What happens next?<\/td><td>Follow-up learning and overdue handling<\/td><td>Sending training is not the same as completing the program<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What can you export?<\/td><td>Dated, per-person training and campaign records<\/td><td>Evidence requests should not require manual reconstruction<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>What are you buying?<\/td><td>Package, minimum seats, term, support, and service scope<\/td><td>Two similar monthly totals may cover different work<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose an operating model before a vendor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-service gives your team control over campaigns and assignments. Managed delivery transfers defined recurring tasks to a provider. An MSP-delivered program is bought through your IT service provider, whose contract determines the work included. A native tool uses an existing platform entitlement but still needs administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of these models is automatically cheapest. An owner with no IT staff may prefer a service that handles scheduling and exceptions. An IT manager who wants to customize every exercise may prefer direct platform access and a more explicit internal workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threatcop’s <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/security-awareness-training-platforms\/\">security awareness training platforms guide<\/a> covers the wider category. This comparison narrows the decision to small-team affordability, ownership, and day-to-day operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_do_the_13_platforms_compare_for_small_businesses\"><\/span>2. How do the 13 platforms compare for small businesses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the table to identify a reason to evaluate each option. A published price is useful, but an undisclosed price is not evidence that the product is expensive. Likewise, a free plan is not evidence that it covers the program you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Platform<\/th><th>Useful buying reason<\/th><th>Small-business commercial check<\/th><th>Demonstration that matters<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Threatcop<\/td><td>Simulation and targeted learning across TSAT and TLMS<\/td><td>Request headcount, package, service, and term details<\/td><td>Exercise to learning to follow-up report<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KnowBe4<\/td><td>Broad SAT ecosystem and published US price bands<\/td><td>Published bands begin at 25; rates use a 3-year term<\/td><td>Roster changes, reminders, and export<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Huntress<\/td><td>Managed training and phishing program<\/td><td>Direct\/reseller minimum differs from MSP route<\/td><td>Tasks handled by Huntress, partner, and customer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hook Security<\/td><td>Managed program for small businesses<\/td><td>Quote; under 50-seat annual option described<\/td><td>Recurring schedule and exception ownership<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CanIPhish<\/td><td>Self-service entry with a free tier<\/td><td>Free up to 10; paid plan minimums differ<\/td><td>Free-versus-paid coverage for your roster<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wizer<\/td><td>Basic free learning and paid Boost scope<\/td><td>Paid published pricing uses a 3-year term<\/td><td>Training, simulation, reports, and add-ons<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>usecure<\/td><td>Automated learning, phishing, policy, and reporting<\/td><td>Obtain an IT-team or provider-specific quote<\/td><td>Automated assignments and policy records<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Phin<\/td><td>Provider-oriented awareness automation<\/td><td>Usually evaluate through your service provider<\/td><td>Service scope and business-level reporting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CyberHoot<\/td><td>Automated training and different phishing formats<\/td><td>Quote the required modules and purchase route<\/td><td>Guided learning versus attack simulation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Phished<\/td><td>Automated simulation and microlearning packages<\/td><td>Confirm headcount, plan, currency, and term<\/td><td>Core versus higher-plan requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Microsoft Attack simulation training<\/td><td>Native Microsoft Defender workflow<\/td><td>Requires eligible licensing, not just any 365 plan<\/td><td>Entitlement, permissions, campaigns, reports<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ESET<\/td><td>Training and simulation from an established security vendor<\/td><td>Confirm paid team package and term<\/td><td>Team access, follow-up, and management<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PhishingBox<\/td><td>Simulation control with tiered LMS options<\/td><td>Training\/LMS scope varies by plan<\/td><td>Campaign setup and training evidence<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your initial shortlist to 3 distinct options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a 35-person company with one busy IT manager, a useful first comparison is Threatcop, one managed service, and one self-service platform. Give each the same roster example, employee scenario, and reporting request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This exposes the trade-off you need to make: how much control you want, how much recurring work you can own, and how much you will pay for the work performed by someone else. A long feature checklist is less useful when nobody has time to operate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Which_platforms_deserve_a_closer_look\"><\/span>3. Which platforms deserve a closer look?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Threatcop: a strong first choice for connected simulation and learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/us\">Threatcop’s US platform<\/a> offers TSAT simulations and TLMS learning. TSAT assesses employee readiness through attack simulations and risk visibility. TLMS delivers risk-based learning with tracking and reminders. For a small team, that creates a practical evaluation sequence: identify a gap, assign the relevant lesson, and check what happened next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TLMS includes a 2,000+ content library across 8 formats, giving your team options for matching the learning experience to the employee. The useful buying question is which material fits your everyday requests and how easily the administrator can deliver it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a business that wants to evaluate simulation and follow-up learning together, with room to target different roles as the team grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: have Threatcop demonstrate the proposed TSAT\/TLMS scope for your actual headcount. Ask who handles setup, roster changes, content selection, overdue assignments, and recurring reports. Confirm minimum seats and service terms in the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/pricing\">request a Threatcop quote<\/a>. A package defined around your needs is a better comparison than assuming an enterprise-sized configuration or an unsupported starting price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. KnowBe4: useful when administration and content control matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowbe4.com\/products\/security-awareness-training\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training<\/a> is relevant if your IT manager wants a broad awareness program and control over assignments. Published US pricing makes it possible to model a budget before comparing a proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a small business, the deciding issue is how much administration the chosen configuration requires. Ask the vendor to add a new employee, move a user between groups, assign follow-up learning, and export overdue records during the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a team with a named program owner who wants to compare campaign, learning, and reporting controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: current Foundation and Advanced inclusions, the applicable seat band, and separately priced products or content. Old review references to Silver or Diamond should not be treated as current package definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: the May 2026 US list uses monthly per-seat rates on a 3-year term. The examples below make the commitment visible; obtain a proposal for any headcount outside the published bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Huntress: worth evaluating when you need help running the program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntress.com\/pricing\/sat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Huntress Managed Security Awareness Training<\/a> includes a managed learning and phishing program. Its pricing page describes active-user billing, directory synchronization, and no separate Huntress onboarding or implementation fee. A partner may charge for additional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a business that wants help sustaining training and exercises rather than owning every campaign decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: write down the tasks handled by Huntress, the IT provider, and your own staff. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntress.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">general pricing page<\/a> distinguishes a 50-seat minimum for direct or reseller purchases from the MSP route, which has no Huntress-required seat minimum. Your MSP can set its own commercial conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: the public 100-learner example is $1.75 per learner per month; the displayed MSRP is $2.08. Neither number should be treated as a complete 35-person MSP service quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hook Security: consider a small-business managed program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooksecurity.co\/security-awareness-training-for-small-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hook Security’s small-business offering<\/a> describes managed training, phishing simulations, reminders, and reporting. It is relevant when the owner or IT manager wants a defined recurring program with less console operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service also describes a flat annual plan for businesses under 50 seats. That is a useful reason to request a quote at your exact headcount rather than applying an unsupported per-seat estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: small businesses that want a provider to handle the recurring cadence and content selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: what your team must connect, approve, and maintain; how exceptions are handled; and whether the reporting style meets your needs. Hook describes its approach differently from a platform focused on scoring individual employees for managers, so examine the actual reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: obtain the annual or per-seat quote and service scope. Do not assume every MSP using Hook sells an identical package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. CanIPhish: useful for a self-service start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caniphish.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CanIPhish pricing<\/a> includes a free plan for up to 10 employees and paid Professional and Enterprise plans. The free tier includes limited functionality; the page lists an 11-employee minimum for Professional and an annual-only Enterprise plan with a 25-employee minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a small team that wants to start directly, explore the workflow, and understand an upgrade before committing to a larger program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: the content library, automation, support, and identity features needed for the whole roster. A 10-person free limit does not cover a 35-person company by itself. Confirm the live calculator’s selected headcount, plan, currency, and billing mode before using a paid price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: monthly subscriptions can be canceled for the end of the billing month; annual terms have different upgrade and downgrade rules. Evaluate the term you actually intend to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Wizer: compare basic free training with Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wizer-training.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wizer’s pricing page<\/a> separates basic free awareness training from Boost, which adds broader learning, phishing simulation, and administration capabilities. This makes it useful for a buyer deciding whether a free learning start is enough or whether an ongoing practice program is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: businesses that want a basic entry point and a defined paid upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: distinguish Boost from optional managed services, SCORM, and other add-ons. Training about voice or deepfakes is not automatically the same purchase as live voice or video simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: the published 25-user Boost example is $625 per year on a 3-year term, billed annually. It is an annual bill within a multiyear commitment, not a one-year contract for $625.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. usecure: compare automation across several awareness tasks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usecure.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">usecure<\/a> combines learning, phishing, policy, and breach-insight functions. Its automated approach is relevant when a small IT team wants recurring learning and exercises without treating each as a separate manual project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: businesses evaluating a broader awareness workflow, directly with their IT team or through a provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: ask how knowledge gaps affect assignments, how overdue activity is escalated, and how policy acknowledgements are retrieved. Confirm the exact features included in the proposed plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: the <a href=\"https:\/\/usecure.io\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">pricing page<\/a> describes different arrangements for MSPs and internal IT teams. Request the arrangement that applies to your business; a provider’s licensing terms do not automatically become your customer contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Phin: relevant when your IT provider operates the program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phinsecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Phin<\/a> is designed around MSP and MSSP delivery, with awareness automation, immediate simulation feedback, and reporting. A small business should evaluate it through the service it will actually receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a company whose IT provider uses Phin and can explain the training, follow-up, and reporting included in its service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: ask your provider who approves campaigns, responds to employee reports, handles roster exceptions, and answers evidence requests. Request the business-level report rather than accepting a demonstration of a provider dashboard alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: obtain the price and term from the provider. Monthly usage-based vendor billing is useful context, but it does not establish the price or cancellation terms of your managed IT agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. CyberHoot: compare guided learning and attack simulation separately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberhoot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CyberHoot<\/a> provides automated awareness training and distinct phishing-related formats. HootPhish uses interactive guided learning; AttackPhish sends simulated phishing messages to test responses. These formats serve different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a business interested in an automated learning program and willing to specify how employee practice should be measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: ask which modules are included, how the user experiences each format, and what the report records. Completing a guided exercise and responding safely to an unannounced simulation are different outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: request the modules, user count, term, and purchase route in writing. A platform may offer several components without including every component in the same base quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Phished: consider automated practice with clear package boundaries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phished.io\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Phished’s plans<\/a> include Core, Advanced, and All-in-One. Core describes automated simulations, microlearning, a report button, and administrator reporting. Higher plans add further capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a small team that wants to evaluate recurring automated practice and learning together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: identify the package required for custom training, deeper reporting, and the other functions shown during the demonstration. Confirm current availability for anything described as forthcoming rather than treating roadmap labels as delivered features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: request the selected headcount, currency, term, and package. Do not use a blank or unpopulated starting-price field as a real commercial offer, and do not treat zero-incident marketing language as an outcome guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Microsoft Attack simulation training: check your entitlement first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/defender-office-365\/attack-simulation-training-get-started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Microsoft’s official requirements<\/a> state that Attack simulation training requires Microsoft 365 E5 or Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 licensing. Having a Microsoft 365 business subscription alone is not enough to establish access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: businesses already entitled to the feature and able to operate campaigns in the Microsoft Defender portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: confirm the licensing applicable to participating users, the administrator roles, mailbox environment, and reporting behavior. Microsoft notes reduced reporting for on-premises mailboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: compare the incremental cost of the required entitlement with a dedicated platform. An already-licensed feature can still consume administration time; a feature available after an upgrade is not automatically free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. ESET: compare the team package, not just the free lesson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.com\/us\/business\/cybertraining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training<\/a> includes paid team training, phishing simulations, dashboards, and follow-up learning. Its free entry is a lesson for one person, with no team access or phishing simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a small business that wants to evaluate awareness through an existing security-vendor relationship or a directly purchasable team offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: the current paid package, training access period, team administration, reminders, and simulation scope. Ask the seller to show the roster and reporting workflow you will use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: the page shows a $25-per-person starting offer, beginning at $125 for 5 users. Confirm the actual package and applicable term before comparing this with a recurring managed program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. PhishingBox: useful when simulation and LMS control matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phishingbox.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PhishingBox<\/a> separates Standard, Professional, and Enterprise scope. Professional adds a learning management system and related functions to the simulation-oriented Standard package; Enterprise adds further capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best fit: a business with a named administrator who wants to examine campaign setup and learning administration closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to verify: whether the proposed tier includes the LMS, courses, API, content, and reporting required. Use the trial to measure how much time the administrator needs to configure the intended program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing: obtain a saved quote for your headcount and billing selection. The direct-license FAQ describes an annual license term even when invoices are monthly; reseller arrangements have different terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_much_will_training_cost_at_25_50_or_100_employees\"><\/span>4. How much will training cost at 25, 50, or 100 employees?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Published pricing helps only when headcount, package, and term are visible. The following examples use original vendor pages checked on October 21, 2026. They exclude taxes, negotiated discounts, optional products, and separately quoted services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KnowBe4 and Wizer show why contract terms matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Vendor and scope<\/th><th>Employees<\/th><th>Published basis<\/th><th>Annualized subscription<\/th><th>Commitment behind the number<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>KnowBe4 Foundation<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>$2.40 per seat\/month<\/td><td>$720<\/td><td>3-year term; calculated total $2,160<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KnowBe4 Foundation<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>$2.40 per seat\/month<\/td><td>$1,440<\/td><td>3-year term; calculated total $4,320<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KnowBe4 Foundation<\/td><td>100<\/td><td>$2.13 per seat\/month<\/td><td>$2,556<\/td><td>3-year term; calculated total $7,668<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>KnowBe4 Advanced<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>$3.75 per seat\/month<\/td><td>$2,250<\/td><td>3-year term; calculated total $6,750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wizer Boost<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>$25 per user\/year<\/td><td>$625<\/td><td>3-year term, billed annually; total $1,875<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wizer Boost<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>$25 per user\/year<\/td><td>$1,250<\/td><td>3-year term, billed annually; total $3,750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wizer Boost<\/td><td>100<\/td><td>$20 per user\/year<\/td><td>$2,000<\/td><td>3-year term, billed annually; total $6,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KnowBe4’s source is its May 2026 US price list. Wizer’s current page explicitly labels the 3-year term. These are different product packages, not a feature-matched ranking from cheapest to most expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep service prices separate from software prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huntress’s public 100-learner example calculates to $175 per month or $2,100 annually before partner-specific charges. A provider quoting a 35-person business may include deployment and ongoing service in a different total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threatcop should be compared on the same written scope: number of employees, simulations, learning, automation, reporting, setup, support, and any recurring service. Do not infer a seat minimum or starting price that the proposal has not confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calculate the cost per actual employee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture a 20-person company offered a platform with a 50-seat minimum at an assumed $2 per seat per month. The subscription is $100 per month, or $1,200 annually. Dividing by 20 actual employees produces an effective price of $5 per employee per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advertised seat rate is still $2. The business is paying for unused capacity. This is why minimum seats deserve a column beside price when you compare small-business offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_When_is_free_security_awareness_training_enough\"><\/span>5. When is free security awareness training enough?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free training can be a useful start when the scope fits. It may cover basic learning, a small roster, or a sample lesson. It is not one standard product category with identical coverage across vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Entry option<\/th><th>Verified boundary<\/th><th>Sensible use<\/th><th>Upgrade question<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>CanIPhish Free<\/td><td>Up to 10 employees; limited functionality<\/td><td>Explore or start a very small program<\/td><td>What changes when the full team exceeds 10?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wizer Free<\/td><td>Basic awareness learning with limited scope<\/td><td>Establish a basic learning starting point<\/td><td>Do you need Boost simulation and administration?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ESET Freemium<\/td><td>One-person lesson; no team access or simulation<\/td><td>Review the learning experience<\/td><td>What does the paid team package include?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Microsoft native feature<\/td><td>Specific paid entitlement required<\/td><td>Use an already-licensed workflow<\/td><td>What is the incremental licensing and operating cost?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A vendor trial<\/td><td>Time-limited evaluation<\/td><td>Test a workflow before buying<\/td><td>What remains available when the trial ends?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision is straightforward: map the requirement to the available scope. If you need records for 35 employees and a free tier covers 10, it does not cover the whole roster. If you need phishing simulations and the free option is learning-only, you still need a simulation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid confusing learning access with a complete program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful small-business program may need a roster, assignments, reminders, response tracking, follow-up learning, and exports. A free video library can teach valuable material while leaving those tasks to your staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That does not make the library a bad choice. It means the cost comparison should include the work required to turn the content into the program your business wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_do_verified_customer_reviews_say_about_the_work_involved\"><\/span>6. What do verified customer reviews say about the work involved?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These short excerpts are linked to individual original reviews. Reviewer context matters: an IT provider’s experience can explain the service workflow without proving that a business owner can buy or run the same configuration directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Threatcop: practical learning for a small-company reviewer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akshat V., Cyber security engineer at a company with 50 or fewer employees, described \u201cinteractive and hands-on training\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/threatcop-security-awareness-training\/reviews#threatcop-security-awareness-training-review-12942960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G2 review dated June 10, 2026<\/a>. G2 identifies a validated business-email reviewer; the review followed a G2 invitation without a G2 incentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">raktim p., Admin at a company with 51\u20131,000 employees, highlighted an \u201cample amount of real life examples\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/threatcop-security-awareness-training\/reviews#threatcop-security-awareness-training-review-12942213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G2 review dated June 10, 2026<\/a>. G2 marks the review validated and organic, without an invitation or incentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use these observations to shape the demonstration: ask for learning based on an invoice request, a login prompt, or another message your employees encounter. Then inspect the assignment and follow-up process your administrator will maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PhishingBox: measure the learning curve during the trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Danny S., Owner at a company with 50 or fewer employees, wrote \u201cLearning the platform takes a little time\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/phishingbox\/reviews#phishingbox-review-13086961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G2 review dated July 9, 2026<\/a>. The validated current-user review is incentivized and collected through a seller invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reviewer also describes the platform as easy once understood and uses its LMS for content while reselling the platform. This is a reason to measure onboarding effort in your trial, not a basis for declaring the product difficult for every small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Huntress: follow-up can matter as much as course access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam G., Level 2 Support Engineer at a company with 51\u20131,000 employees, described \u201ctracking progress and following up much easier\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/huntress-managed-security-awareness-training\/reviews#huntress-managed-security-awareness-training-review-13115374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G2 review dated July 16, 2026<\/a>. This validated current-user review is incentivized and collected through a seller invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The review also asks for more detailed reporting and customization. Test both questions together: does the service reduce routine follow-up, and can it provide the specific report your business needs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phin: content length deserves employee feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Verified User in Computer & Network Security at a company with 50 or fewer employees highlighted \u201chigh quality content that doesn’t waste your time\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/phin-security-awareness-training\/reviews#phin-security-awareness-training-review-11304539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G2 review dated June 17, 2025<\/a>. G2 validates the review through a Google business-email identity and labels it organic, without invitation or incentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your evaluation, ask a few employees to complete the proposed content on their normal devices. Useful feedback includes whether the lesson is understandable, relevant, and accessible during the workday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KnowBe4: request the actual progress comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Verified User, Manager in Information Technology at a financial-services company with 51\u2013200 employees, wrote \u201cA report to compare time based scores would be great.\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustradius.com\/reviews\/knowbe4-security-awareness-training-2026-05-11-11-48-59\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TrustRadius review dated May 12, 2026<\/a>. The review is vetted and incentivized and also praises lessons and score tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a useful reporting question for a small business too. Ask each finalist to retrieve results for 2 periods and explain what is comparable. The historical request does not establish a current universal product limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Who_should_own_setup_reminders_and_evidence_requests\"><\/span>7. Who should own setup, reminders, and evidence requests?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a program owner even when the vendor describes the service as managed. Someone in your business needs to approve scope, communicate with employees, and decide what to do when the roster or requirements change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Recurring task<\/th><th>Business owner or IT manager<\/th><th>Vendor or MSP<\/th><th>What to agree before purchase<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Define employee population<\/td><td>Approves who is included<\/td><td>Configures agreed roster process<\/td><td>Contractors, shared accounts, joiners, leavers<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Select relevant scenarios<\/td><td>Approves sensitive themes and context<\/td><td>Builds or recommends exercises within scope<\/td><td>Approval process and customization limits<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maintain schedule<\/td><td>Owns business timing<\/td><td>Operates the agreed cadence<\/td><td>Changes, holidays, absences, and exceptions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Follow up on overdue work<\/td><td>Resolves internal accountability<\/td><td>Sends reminders and identifies outstanding items<\/td><td>Who escalates after reminders fail<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Receive employee reports<\/td><td>Names the response contact<\/td><td>Routes or processes within contracted scope<\/td><td>Destination, availability, and responsibility<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Retrieve evidence<\/td><td>Defines the request<\/td><td>Supplies available exports or service reports<\/td><td>Format, dates, detail, and access<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Manage cancellation<\/td><td>Preserves required records<\/td><td>Exports and closes according to contract<\/td><td>Notice, retention, and post-exit access<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask what happens when the owner is away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A program that depends on one person’s memory is fragile. During evaluation, ask how a backup administrator checks the next assignment, handles a new hire, and retrieves the last report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep approvals practical. A small business can define a few standard scenarios and a clear reporting destination without creating a committee for every exercise. Sensitive impersonation themes still need deliberate approval and clear boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review provider scope alongside platform scope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An MSP may include training in a larger managed IT contract. Ask which product it uses, what features are enabled for your company, and what service you receive beyond the license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your MSP’s own cancellation, support, and minimum charges can differ from the platform vendor’s public terms. Compare the agreement you will sign rather than a price advertised to service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_How_should_you_test_a_platform_without_creating_a_large_project\"><\/span>8. How should you test a platform without creating a large project?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give each finalist the same limited evaluation. Use approved internal exercises with synthetic information, and do not request real credentials, customer data, or payment execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Run 5 practical checks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Check<\/th><th>Task<\/th><th>What a useful result looks like<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Roster<\/td><td>Add a new employee and remove a departed employee<\/td><td>Assignments and billing implications are explained<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Learning<\/td><td>Assign one relevant lesson<\/td><td>Employee can access and complete it on the intended device<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Simulation<\/td><td>Configure an approved exercise<\/td><td>Delivery, response, and coaching are visible<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Follow-up<\/td><td>Identify an overdue or assigned learner<\/td><td>Owner and reminder process are clear<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Evidence<\/td><td>Export the agreed record<\/td><td>Dates, population, assignment, and outcome can be interpreted<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vendor can demonstrate these checks without enrolling your whole business in a trial. If you run a live pilot, agree on participants, communication, permissions, and the definition of a successful test first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use one common business scenario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fake invoice request is a useful starting point for a business that regularly handles supplier payments. The learning should reinforce your approved verification process, and the reporting should show the behavior the exercise actually captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A platform that measures link clicks does not automatically measure whether an employee would verify changed bank details. Ask what is captured directly and what would require a separate process exercise. Choose the evidence that matches the decision you want employees to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test the report before the contract<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask the finalist to answer a plain request: show who received training, who completed it, who remains overdue, and what follow-up was assigned. Then ask for a comparable campaign result with the relevant dates and population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the report needs manual work, record who performs it and how often. A useful export today is better evidence than an assurance that your team will work out the report after purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_How_do_you_compare_total_cost_when_staff_time_is_limited\"><\/span>9. How do you compare total cost when staff time is limited?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a simple planning calculation: subscription plus provider service plus internal operating time. Keep one-time setup separate from recurring work, and avoid treating an assumed time saving as a measured result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture a 50-person business comparing 2 offers. Offer A costs $100 per month and takes 4 hours of administration. Offer B costs $180 per month and takes 1 hour. At an internal planning rate of $60 per hour, the monthly totals are $340 and $240 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Scenario component<\/th><th>Offer A<\/th><th>Offer B<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Subscription or service<\/td><td>$100\/month<\/td><td>$180\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Internal administration<\/td><td>4 hours\/month<\/td><td>1 hour\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Planning value of time<\/td><td>$240\/month<\/td><td>$60\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total operating estimate<\/td><td>$340\/month<\/td><td>$240\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Annualized estimate<\/td><td>$4,080<\/td><td>$2,880<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assumed difference is $1,200 per year. It represents staff capacity in this scenario, not guaranteed cash savings, vendor pricing, or proof that a particular product removes 3 hours of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check 5 cost items that are easy to miss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimum seats: divide the total bill by actual covered employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contract term: distinguish an annual bill from a one-year commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provider service: confirm deployment, customization, reporting, and exception handling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional scope: identify optional content, channels, integrations, or managed delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Growth and exit: ask how hires, departures, renewal, cancellation, and exports affect cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a broader budgeting discussion, use Threatcop’s <a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/security-awareness-training-cost\/\">security awareness training cost guide<\/a>. For this decision, keep the comparison grounded in the people and tasks your small business needs to cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_What_should_your_monthly_report_actually_tell_you\"><\/span>10. What should your monthly report actually tell you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small-business report should make the next action clear. Completion, simulation responses, reporting behavior, and follow-up are related but distinct. One percentage cannot explain all 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Report field<\/th><th>Example question<\/th><th>Action it supports<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Covered population<\/td><td>Are recent hires included and departed staff removed?<\/td><td>Fix roster gaps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Learning completion<\/td><td>Who has not completed the assigned lesson?<\/td><td>Follow up on outstanding work<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Exercise conditions<\/td><td>Which scenario ran, when, and for whom?<\/td><td>Interpret the result correctly<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employee response<\/td><td>What behavior did the exercise capture?<\/td><td>Choose relevant coaching<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remediation<\/td><td>Who received follow-up and completed it?<\/td><td>Close the learning loop<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Repeat practice<\/td><td>Were the conditions comparable to the previous exercise?<\/td><td>Assess progress carefully<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small populations need counts beside percentages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If 2 of 25 employees respond unsafely in one exercise, the rate is 8%. If 1 of 25 does so next time, it is 4%. That is a difference of one person. Show the counts and conditions rather than presenting the percentage change as definitive proof of a broad performance improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A different scenario, a changed roster, or a delivery problem can change the result. Ask the report to preserve enough context that you can decide whether further coaching, a process change, or another exercise is appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep reporting connected to action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the 35-person business in the opening scenario, the useful report identifies the 9 outstanding learners, includes the 3 new hires where appropriate, and assigns an owner to the next exercise. That is more actionable than a chart nobody knows how to maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the sequence to inspect in a Threatcop demonstration: simulation insight, relevant TLMS learning, tracking, reminders, and the report your program owner will review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Which_shortlist_fits_your_small_business\"><\/span>11.
