Patch the package, or rebuild the course?
ScormEdit for a typo. Scormbusters when the course itself has to change.
Last reviewed
ScormEdit patches text and images inside a published SCORM package and leaves everything else — the player, the quiz logic, the accessibility — as it was. Scormbusters rebuilds the package as an editable course, answer keys included, and exports a new, accessible one.
Use ScormEdit for a quick cosmetic fix; use Scormbusters when the course itself has to change.
Side by side
| Aspect | Scormbusters | ScormEdit |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Imports the package and rebuilds it as an editable course, then exports a new package. | Edits on-slide text and images inside the existing package, in place; also trims or combines modules and repairs broken packages. |
| Quizzes | Questions arrive with their answer keys and pass mark where the package carries them, and every one that does not is listed in the import report; you can change questions, answers and scoring. | Never touches quiz or completion logic, so questions and scoring stay as they were. |
| Look and player | New layout: reflowing lessons for most formats, an editable slide canvas for Storyline. | Keeps the original player and look exactly. |
| Accessibility | Real text, keyboard-operable questions, checks for contrast and alt text while you edit; blocks designed for WCAG 2.1 AA; your content and a human review decide conformance. | Inherits the original player's accessibility, good or bad. |
| Interactions (triggers, variables) | Storyline triggers and Captivate Classic actions are rebuilt as working triggers where they run the same way (49% and 40% in our test corpus); JavaScript, effects and motion paths are rebuilt with native branching and question blocks. Everything left out is listed in the import report. | Left as they were. |
| Output | SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, cmi5, xAPI, and a portable source file. | The same package, modified. |
| Pricing | Hosted plans from $20/month; import free, with monthly migrations, then credits from $99 a course, a Library Pass, or done for you. | Free for packages up to 80 MB; Pro listed at $29/month. |
How we compared: ScormEdit details are based on scormedit.com as of 14 November 2026. We have not run ScormEdit ourselves, so the table states only what its site says; check it for current features and prices.
Other ways people handle a course with no source file
- Export to a document (for example Scorm to Doc, listed at $59 for 15 conversions or $995 for up to 100 courses): gives you Word, PDF or PowerPoint for review or translation, not a course you can publish again.
- An agency rebuild: you get a finished course, at a per-course price that adds up fast across a library.
- Migration into Scormbusters: the content comes across automatically, you rebuild only the interactions, and you keep an editable course in open formats. See how it works.
Frequently asked questions
When is ScormEdit the better choice?
When you need a quick fix — a typo, a changed phone number, a new logo — in a course that is otherwise fine and should keep its exact look. Editing in place is faster than a migration for that.
When is Scormbusters the better choice?
When the course needs more than cosmetic edits: changing questions or answer keys, fixing accessibility problems that come from the old player, making it work on phones, or moving it off a tool you no longer license.
Can I try Scormbusters on my package before paying?
Yes. The free scan reads a published package with no account and reports its accessibility problems and what a screen reader announces. Importing to see the editable result starts with a 14-day trial; importing and previewing are free, and the trial includes 3 migrations (exports of an imported course).
