Notes: Prices exclude applicable sales taxes; billing is charged every 30 days. A "registration" = a learner associated with a course (counted when first created in a 30-day window). SCORM Cloud also offers a Monthly Pricing Calculator and the ability to change plans at any time.
Rustici Engine (aka SCORM Engine) — licensing / deployment:
Pricing model: Term license (initial license fee + annual maintenance/support fee) or managed-hosting fees; pricing varies by deployment type and application size. Free plan/trial: No free plan for on-premise or managed hosting; SaaS functionality can be obtained via SCORM Cloud (which has the Trial plan above). Pricing details / notes: Rustici states Engine costs include an initial and annual fee and that specific pricing depends on licensing use (whether you license your learning platform to others or use it internally), number of learners and deployment complexity. No list prices are published on the official site — contact sales for a quote.
Rustici Dispatch — distribution product:
Pricing model: Deployment options include on-premise (upfront fees), managed hosting (annual fees) or SaaS via SCORM Cloud (monthly pay-as-you-go via SCORM Cloud plans). Pricing details / notes: Official site does not publish fixed list prices for on-premise or managed hosting; for SaaS Dispatch functionality, usage is covered under SCORM Cloud monthly plans above. For on-premise/managed hosting pricing, Rustici directs you to contact sales.
Overall summary (official vendor site findings):
