How do I make sure employees actually finish their training — and that I can prove it?

Trainual makes it easy to track progress and hold your team accountable. Every training assignment includes completion tracking, so you’ll always know who’s done what — and who hasn’t.

‍

In short: Trainual helps you document what you do, teach it to your team, and ensure consistency — without the complexity of clunky enterprise systems.

How much does Trainual cost?

Trainual’s pricing is designed to grow with your team — without charging you more for every additional user. Every plan includes the same robust set of features. Just choose the plan that fits your team size, and you’re good to go.

Can I cancel or pause my subscription?

If you choose to cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. Your team will continue to have full access to the account during that time. Once the billing cycle ends, the account will be closed and no further charges will apply.
‍

If you’d prefer to pause rather than cancel, you can place your account on hold for up to 3 months. During this period, you’ll be charged $20 per month, billed monthly. These charges are deducted as prorated credits from your already-paid annual subscription.While on hold, your account is essentially frozen—your team won’t be able to access, create, or edit any content. At the end of the hold period—or if you resume early—your subscription will automatically reactivate under your existing plan unless you choose to make changes.
