Rise Up review

Rise Up combines an LMS, a learning experience platform (LXP), course authoring and adaptive learning in one cloud platform. It is built to coordinate blended training: self-paced courses, virtual classrooms and in-person sessions, with tools for attendance, progress tracking and compliance certification.

The platform’s adaptive learning feature adjusts training pathways using learner assessments, roles and progress. Its drag-and-drop authoring tool can turn videos, slide decks and documents into interactive modules, and its AI-powered authoring includes automated translation across 45+ languages. Rise Up also supports SCORM 1.1, 1.2 and 2004, xAPI, and LTI 1.3.

For reporting, Rise Up says its learning record store (LRS) captures learning data and supports engagement tracking, competency-gap analysis and custom reports. In short, it targets organizations that want to manage course delivery, creation and tracking in the same system.

Rise Up’s main appeal is breadth. Instead of coordinating separate tools for online courses, classroom sessions and compliance tracking, organizations can manage those training formats in one platform. That may suit teams delivering a mix of self-paced, virtual and in-person instruction.

• Adaptive pathways: Rise Up says its AI adjusts learning based on assessments, learner roles and progress. That gives teams a way to tailor training rather than assign every learner the same sequence.
• Built-in authoring: The drag-and-drop tool can turn existing videos, slide decks and documents into interactive modules. Automated translation across 45+ languages is useful for organizations creating training for multilingual teams.
• Standards support: The listed support for SCORM 1.1, 1.2 and 2004, xAPI and LTI 1.3 gives buyers several established formats to check against their existing content and systems.
• Learning data: The LRS is intended to track engagement and support competency-gap analysis and custom reports, alongside course and compliance tracking.

Those capabilities make Rise Up worth shortlisting when replacing multiple learning tools. They do not, by themselves, establish how well the platform handles a particular organization’s workflows; confirm the needed features and reporting in a vendor walkthrough.

The clearest drawback is pricing opacity. The available pricing information is marked low confidence, and lists no monthly or annual prices: both plans require a custom quote. There is no free plan listed, and free-trial availability is not published. That makes it hard to compare Rise Up with a current stack before talking to sales.

The listed plan split is based on learner count: Rise Up Ecosystem is for organizations with 100–500 learners, while “Adapt Rise Up to Your Needs (Enterprise)” is for organizations with over 500. The information does not publish prices or explain the boundary for organizations with fewer than 100 learners, so smaller teams should confirm eligibility directly.

Several capabilities may also add to the quote. Monetisation, Rise Up Engage, Domoscio, Rise Up Content and premium customer support are listed as add-ons, with prices not published. Ask which capabilities are included in the base offer, what each add-on costs, and how learner counts affect renewal pricing. Without that breakdown, the total cost of switching is difficult to judge.

Rise Up does not publish a monthly or annual price. Both listed plans require a custom quote, so there is no reliable starting price to compare with your current stack. The pricing information available to us is marked low confidence.

• Rise Up Ecosystem is for organizations with 100–500 learners.
• Adapt Rise Up to Your Needs (Enterprise) is for organizations with over 500 learners.

The tier break is at 500 learners, but no dollar amounts are published, so we can’t say how much the move from one tier to the next costs—or whether it creates a price jump. Ask for quotes at your current and expected learner counts, and confirm how learners are counted.

Monetisation, Rise Up Engage, Domoscio, Rise Up Content and premium support are listed as add-ons; their prices are not published. The available information does not confirm a free plan or trial. Get the base package, add-ons, billing term and support costs in writing before comparing Rise Up with separate LMS, authoring or content tools.

Rise Up combines LMS, LXP, authoring and adaptive learning functions, and supports self-paced modules, virtual classrooms and in-person training. That may suit a team consolidating learning tools, but the published material does not describe migration services, import formats, data export, or contract and cancellation terms. Treat those as questions for the sales process, not assumed capabilities.

Before switching, ask for a field-by-field migration plan covering learner records, course files, completion history, compliance records and reporting data. Confirm what can be exported if you leave, in what formats, and whether the export includes learning data held in the LRS. Also ask whether existing content using SCORM, xAPI or LTI 1.3 transfers as-is; Rise Up lists support for those standards, but that alone does not confirm a complete migration.

We were not given Reddit posts or comments to substantiate why customers leave Rise Up, and the available material does not verify user feedback. Get references and written exit terms rather than treating any claimed reasons for churn as established.
