GoSkills review

GoSkills combines a library of business courses with tools for companies to build and manage training. The library covers subjects including Excel, customer service, leadership, and project management, with lessons designed to be bite-sized. The platform also includes an LMS for creating courses, organizing learning paths, and tracking learner progress.

For custom training, GoSkills offers a block-based course builder, templates, and AI course-creation tools. Its homepage also describes an AI tutor that answers questions and explains concepts, plus recommendations intended to help learners find relevant courses. Those AI features are not included across every plan: the pricing lists the AI tutor with Platinum.

The distinction matters when comparing plans. The free tier is a way to explore the library and build custom courses, while paid team plans add different combinations of course access, analytics, certificates, and LMS features. GoSkills is therefore both a course subscription and a training-management product, depending on which plan you buy.

GoSkills puts course access and training administration in one product. Teams can use its business-course library, create their own material, and organize content into learning paths rather than managing those pieces separately. The free plan includes unlimited learners, admins, and course creators, along with unlimited custom courses, which makes it possible to start building before paying for team features.

Paid plans are separated by use case. LMS Pro is listed at $8 per person per month with annual billing and includes custom certificates and learner/team analytics. Courses costs $16 per person per month annually and focuses on access to 500+ business courses, learning paths, and course-creation tools. Platinum, at $19 per person per month annually, combines those feature sets and adds the AI tutor, gamification, and custom branding. Team plans require at least two licenses.

Individuals can choose monthly billing at $39 or an annual plan billed at $249, equivalent to $20.75 per month. Both include full course access; the seven-day trial excludes certificates. For learners who want structured business-course access rather than a standalone certificate, that combination may be the more relevant value.

The free plan has meaningful limits: library courses are capped at 10 lessons each, and reporting, full analytics, and certificates require an upgrade. Team pricing also starts with two licenses, so a small organization cannot buy a single team seat at the listed rate. LMS Pro is capped at 1,000 learners; larger teams need to ask about Enterprise, whose price is not published. The pricing also says custom plans are available for 50+ people.

Team plans offer monthly billing, but the published pricing lists only annual rates, so we cannot compare the monthly cost. Add-on prices are not published either, although new team licenses are prorated. Individual pricing is clearer, but $39 month-to-month is a substantial step up from the $249 annual payment, and the trial does not include certificates.

A certificate may not carry much weight by itself. In one Reddit discussion, commenters suggested that practical Excel ability or a Microsoft certification could matter more to employers. That is anecdotal, but it is a useful caveat: GoSkills can provide learning and completion certificates, not a guarantee that employers will recognize them.

GoSkills has a free plan, but the team plans start at two licenses and the listed prices are annual rates. LMS Pro is $8 per person per month, Courses is $16, and Platinum is $19. That’s an $8-per-seat jump from LMS Pro to Courses, then $3 more for Platinum. The pricing details say team plans also offer monthly billing, but don’t publish those monthly rates; annual billing is listed as 30% savings.

The Free Plan includes unlimited learners, admins, and course creators, plus unlimited custom courses. But library courses are capped at 10 lessons, and reporting, full analytics, and certificates require an upgrade. Individual learners pay $39 monthly or $249 yearly, equivalent to $20.75 per month. The seven-day trial excludes certificates.

Enterprise pricing is custom. Add-on prices aren’t published, and new team licenses are prorated. Check the final quote for seat minimums, billing cadence, and any extras before comparing it with another LMS.

GoSkills combines a course library with tools to create courses, learning paths, and track learner progress. The published materials don’t explain how to import existing training, migrate learner records, or export courses and reporting data. Those details matter if you’re replacing an LMS: ask GoSkills what can be moved in, what can be exported later, and whether you’ll need to rebuild custom courses before signing up.

The available pricing details say new team licenses are prorated, but don’t spell out cancellation terms or data-retention rules. We also weren’t given Reddit posts or comments, so we can’t responsibly say what users report as reasons for leaving. Treat migration effort, export access, and offboarding as questions to verify with the vendor—not established GoSkills limits. If you’re switching away, get written confirmation of export formats and access after cancellation before you move learner data.
