Frequently asked questions
How is Articulate 360 priced?
Frontline starts from $500 per year for unlimited seats. Articulate 360 AI is $1,449–$1,749 per seat per year. Advanced AI workflows (kit generation, AI avatars, translation into 80+ languages) consume credits bought separately from $250 per 50,000 credits, and unused credits expire at the end of the subscription term. Reach 360 Pro adds fuller LMS reporting from $3,600 per year for 1,200 active learners.
How long does it take to get productive?
There is a 14-day free trial with a credit allowance, and purchased seats are available within 72 hours. The platform is browser-based with 20M+ media assets and 1,000+ templates, so teams typically begin publishing training in days rather than months. No mandatory implementation fee is published, though Hybrid and custom agreements add centralized admin and dedicated success support.
Will our training content be used to train AI models?
No. Articulate states that it does not use customer content to train its generative AI models and applies a zero data retention policy with its AI subprocessors. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is strictly controlled, and content is retained for six months past the end of a subscription.
Which security certifications does Articulate hold?
The Trust Center lists AICPA SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001, GDPR, Cloud Security Alliance, FedRAMP, and accessibility conformance reports for Rise, Storyline and Reach. Articulate notes that Nova AI features are not yet included in current certifications; they are due to be covered in the annual audit completed by December 2026.
Does Articulate 360 replace our LMS?
Partly. Articulate 360 AI includes Reach, a native LMS with room for 300 active learners, and courses export as SCORM, xAPI or cmi5 for any other LMS. Frontline needs no LMS at all: training can be shared as trackable links into Slack, Microsoft Teams, email or text, with engagement and completion analytics.
What does it integrate with?
Google Drive, OneDrive, Claude and ChatGPT are named as integrations on the pricing page, Frontline distributes training through Slack and Microsoft Teams, and SSO/SAML covers identity and user management for enterprise plans. Reach 360 exposes a documented public API for publishing and tracking.
