Cancel, and keep your courses
- Everything exports, on every plan. Any course downloads as an open project export — its complete source and media as documented JSON — and as SCORM, cmi5 or xAPI. Owners can download the whole library at once.
- Cancel, and nothing is locked away. Your workspace turns read-only, not off: every course you built, and every imported course you have exported or published, still opens and exports in every format for at least 90 days after your subscription ends. An imported course you never exported needs a migration credit to export.
- Delivered courses never depend on us. Exported packages carry their own media and an MIT-licensed player that talks only to your LMS — they keep working whether or not you subscribe.
Moving a library in
Import and preview are free. A course counts as one migration the first time you export or publish it, and never again; courses built in Scormbusters never count. Each plan includes migrations every month (the trial includes 3); past that, credits or a Library Pass.
On annual Studio, every Rise course migrates without counting for the first 60 days of the subscription — bring the whole Rise library across once.

Ask for a quoteFrequently asked questions
Is there a free plan or a trial?
No free plan. There's a 14-day trial of Designer or Studio instead. A card is required; you are not charged until the trial ends, and if you cancel before day 14 you pay nothing. Importing and previewing are free during the trial, and it includes 3 migrations — exports of an imported course — enough to take your own legacy courses to your LMS. The accessibility scan is free and needs no account at all.
Do you charge per learner?
Never, on any plan. Learners and stakeholder reviewers are unlimited and free. Charging per learner would put us in competition with your LMS, which is where your learners already are — and it would punish you for the one thing we want you doing, which is shipping courses to real people.
Do I have to buy AI credits?
No. Scormbusters does not resell inference and never will — it never even makes an AI call. You connect the assistant you already pay for (a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or any MCP client, including one running a local model) to Scormbusters’s MCP server, and it builds lessons, rewrites imported content and drafts quizzes with your approval, on your own plan. No credit balance, no allowance, nothing that expires. AI is also entirely optional: the editor, the player and every export format work without ever connecting one.
Can I use my AI chat subscription?
Yes — that is the whole design. Scormbusters is an MCP server: your assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client, including one running a local model) connects to it, signs in to your Scormbusters account over OAuth, and works on your courses with your permissions. There is no API key to buy or paste, and Scormbusters never stores a model key or makes an AI call itself, so there is nothing for us to meter or mark up.
Will my exported courses have Scormbusters branding on them?
No — on every plan. A SCORM or xAPI package you hand to a client is your deliverable, and you should never have to pay to look professional in front of your own customer. Your brand name, logo and colors are what render. The only place Scormbusters is credited is the player we host ourselves, and removing it there is what the white-label option buys.
What happens to my courses if I stop paying, or if you disappear?
You keep them. On every plan, every course exports to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, cmi5 and xAPI packages and to an open project export — the complete course and its media as documented JSON that Scormbusters imports back — and owners can download the whole library in one go. If your subscription ends, the workspace turns read-only instead of closing: every course you built, and every imported course you have exported or published, still opens and exports in every format for at least 90 days; an imported course you never exported needs a migration credit to export. Exported packages carry their own media and an MIT-licensed player that talks only to your LMS and never to Scormbusters, so the courses you have delivered keep working whether or not you subscribe, and whatever happens to us. Enterprise agreements can add source-code escrow.
What LMS platforms does SCORM export work with?
Any LMS that follows the standard. Real exported courses are walked by an automated learner in SCORM Cloud — the reference engine, from the authors of the spec — under both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, and record completed, passed and scored; SCORM 1.2 and 2004 also pass our conformance probe in Moodle. Every result, with its date, is on the SCORM conformance page. Other LMSs have not been verified yet; if yours misbehaves, send us the package and the LMS name.
How are imports and migrations priced?
Migrations are counted when you export an imported course, not when you import it — import and preview as many as you like. An imported course counts once, the first time it is exported in any format or published; exporting it again never counts, and courses built in Scormbusters never count. Designer includes 5 migrations a month, Studio 25, Enterprise unlimited, and the trial 3. Beyond that, migration credits are $99 a course, 10 for $790 or 50 for $2,950. They don't expire while your account is open. The Library Pass ($4,900 one-time) covers up to 150 course migrations, 12 months of Studio and a dated accessibility evidence report; Library Pass Plus ($9,500) covers up to 500 and 12 months of Enterprise LTI 1.3 hosted delivery. Or we do the migration for you — rebuilding interactions, fixing accessibility, checking every course and re-publishing it to your LMS — at $600 to $1,200 a course. On annual Studio, Rise courses migrate without counting for the first 60 days. The free scan shows what a course contains before you pay anything.
Can I migrate from Storyline, Rise or Captivate?
Yes. Captivate (Classic .cptx or its HTML5 publish, and 12/13), Storyline (HTML5 publish), Rise 360, Lectora, iSpring, Adapt, H5P, Moodle backups, PPTX and any SCORM, AICC, cmi5 or xAPI package import as editable courses rather than a locked-down embed, with the real on-screen text, not just alt text. Articulate Studio packages give up their Presenter text and notes only; Flash content is not converted. Storyline triggers and Captivate actions are rebuilt as working triggers where the slide canvas runs them the same way: 49% of Storyline and 40% of Captivate Classic actions in our test corpus. JavaScript, motion paths and the rest are listed in the import report. Flash-era packages recover their structure only.
Do you offer discounts?
Talk to us. Annual billing takes 20% off every plan; beyond that, if your situation is unusual, tell us about it and we'll look at it case by case.
Is my content secure?
Content is stored with row-level security enforced in the database, so each organization's data is isolated at the storage layer rather than by application code alone. Assets are encrypted in transit and at rest, the credentials you give us for video providers are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage, Scormbusters never stores an AI model key at all, and we never train models on your content. If your security review needs more, on-premises deployment is available under an Enterprise agreement.
