About Litmos LMS

Litmos is a cloud-based learning management system founded in 2007, acquired by Francisco Partners from SAP in late 2022 and now operating as an independent company.

It is typically used by mid-market to large, globally distributed organisations that need a centralised platform for delivering compliance and skills training at scale. The platform is well regarded for its broad integration ecosystem, its AI-assisted features, and its access to large off-the-shelf content libraries via its own Training Content catalogue and Go1 collections – both available as paid add-ons.

Content library access and some advanced analytics are gated to higher-tier plans, pricing is not publicly published, and the platform is not specifically designed for the compliance and workplace training requirements of Australian and New Zealand organisations.

Which platform is right for you?

Tribal Habits is likely right for you if…

✓You’re an AU/NZ organisation with 50+ employees, volunteers, contractors or learners
✓Training is managed by HR, ops, or one person wearing multiple hats or a small / single person training team
✓You want to create your own training, not just access a generic library
✓You’re replacing spreadsheets, PowerPoints, or an outdated LMS
✓You need AU/NZ compliance content that is current and updated (and editable to add your own policies and information)
✓You want transparent pricing based on actual usage (no wasted seats) and no surprises on implementation or support costs

Tribal Habits is probably not right if…

✗You’re a large global enterprise already embedded in an enterprise software ecosystem
✗You have a large L&D team already invested in specialist authoring tools
✗You need Litmos specifically for customer or partner training at significant global scale
✗You have no internal content or plans to develop any – now or later
✗You’re an RTO or registered training organisation needing accredited qualification delivery
✗You need deep enterprise customisation or integrations that we don’t currently support

Tribal Habits & Litmos comparison

Tribal Habits and Litmos are both learning management systems, but they’re built for different kinds of organisations. Litmos is designed for large enterprises that want to deploy training at scale – primarily through off-the-shelf content libraries and integrations with enterprise software stacks. Tribal Habits is built for Australian and New Zealand organisations that need to create and manage their own training, with a full authoring toolset, AU/NZ compliance content, and transparent pricing all included from day one. If your team needs to build training as well as deliver it – and you want local content, local support, and no hidden costs – the comparison looks very different.

We already love how easy Tribal Habits is to use and add our existing training content to. We also love the different format options available to make the content more interesting to users.

Madison White Logo

There’s so much to love about Tribal Habits. The extensive library of compliance and competency training. The ability to create our own pathways and build our own training for specific job roles.

Tribal Habits offer a vast array of learning elements with powerful yet easy to use admin features & integrations. The platform has a clean and simple user interface and are WCAG Level AA compliant.

A Note on Pricing

The core difference is not just the price itself. It is what is included, how pricing is structured, and whether you are paying for actual usage or for stored users and add-ons.

Tribal Habits Pricing

Monthly Active User pricing

LMS platform
Authoring tools
Editable AU/NZ library
Onboarding + support
Pay only for active users. No charge for inactive users, with no caps on users, topics, or storage.

Tribal Habits uses Monthly Active User pricing, so you only pay for users who log in during a given calendar month. Inactive users can remain stored in the system at no charge.

Lite includes a $1,200 yearly platform fee plus pay-as-you-go active users. Business plans start from Business 50, use fixed monthly MAU commitments, remove the platform fee, and apply monthly overages if usage goes above the commitment.

All plans include onboarding, implementation, 1:1 training, ongoing support, platform updates, and access to the full editable library of 400+ AU/NZ modules. Transparent pricing is published at tribalhabits.com/pricing.

Litmos Pricing

Custom pricing across separate tiers

1 LMS tier selection
+
2 Content library add-on
+
3 Implementation services
Total cost depends on the full setup. The base LMS, content, and implementation are priced separately.

Litmos does not publish pricing publicly. It offers three tiers - Foundation AI Suite, Premier AI Suite, and Platinum AI Suite - with custom pricing based on user count and required features.

The LMS, training content library, and implementation services are sold separately, so the cost of a fully functional setup is higher than the base plan price alone.

In practice, that means you need to contact Litmos for a quote and price the full stack, not just the platform tier shown in a sales conversation.

The practical difference: Tribal Habits publishes transparent MAU pricing and includes the LMS, authoring, support, and editable AU/NZ content library in one subscription. Litmos uses custom pricing across multiple tiers, with content and implementation sold separately.

How can I migrate from Litmos?

Switching from Litmos to Tribal Habits is straightforward. Here’s what the process looks like:

  • Your historical training records come with you – completion dates, recertification history, and user data are all importable.
  • Bring your existing training content – we support SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, cmi5, xAPI, and AICC as an add-on to any plan.
  • Connect your user data via API, CSV upload, or one of our HRIS integrations – no manual re-entry.
  • No upfront setup costs. Onboarding, data migration guidance, and 1:1 training are included in every plan.
  • Note that Litmos library content is not exportable – if your organisation has been relying on Litmos Training Content or Go1 add-ons, Tribal Habits’ own library of 400+ editable AU/NZ modules is available from day one to fill that gap.

Most organisations are up and running within a few days. We’ll work through the transition with you.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tribal Habits a better choice than Litmos for Australian organisations?

For most Australian and New Zealand organisations, Tribal Habits is a stronger fit. Tribal Habits includes a full authoring toolset, 400+ editable AU/NZ compliance and professional development modules, local data hosting, and Australian-based support – all in one subscription. Litmos is designed for larger, globally distributed organisations and is better suited to enterprises that primarily want to deploy off-the-shelf content at scale rather than build their own training. If creating and managing your own training is a priority, and you want content and support tailored to Australian and New Zealand workplaces, Tribal Habits is the more practical choice.

Can I switch from Litmos to Tribal Habits without losing my training data?

Yes. Historical training records including completion dates and recertification history are all importable into Tribal Habits. Existing training content in SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, cmi5, xAPI, or AICC format can be brought across as well. User data can be connected via API, CSV upload, or one of our HRIS integrations. Onboarding, data migration guidance, and 1:1 training are included in every plan at no additional cost.

How does Tribal Habits pricing compare to Litmos?

Tribal Habits publishes its pricing transparently at tribalhabits.com/pricing and charges based on Monthly Active Users – meaning you only pay for people who actually log in during a given month. There is no charge for storing inactive users. All plans include the full platform, AU/NZ content library, onboarding, support, and ongoing updates. Litmos does not publish its pricing. Its LMS, content library, and implementation services are sold separately, so the true all-in cost is typically higher than it first appears. For a straightforward comparison, Tribal Habits’ pricing page gives you everything you need without having to request a quote.

Does Litmos have AU/NZ compliance content?

Litmos offers an ANZ compliance package, but it is a paid add-on and is not included in any base plan. The depth and update cadence of the AU/NZ-specific content is not publicly documented, and there is no publicly available information about local legal review or verification of that content. Tribal Habits includes 400+ AU/NZ compliance and professional development modules in every plan. Those modules are written for Australian and New Zealand law, reviewed by Australian lawyers, and updated when legislation changes.

Does Litmos let you create your own training?

Litmos includes a Content Authoring Tool that supports basic course creation using text, images, video, and quizzes, with AI-assisted content generation added in 2025. It is adequate for straightforward content but does not support the same range of interaction types as Tribal Habits – there are no native branching scenarios, discussion forums, or social learning features. Tribal Habits is built around a guided authoring environment with 60+ interaction types, designed specifically for HR managers, operations staff, and subject matter experts who are not professional instructional designers.

Is Litmos suitable for a team without a dedicated L&D department?

Litmos can be used without a dedicated L&D team, but its primary design is for organisations with the scale and resources to configure and manage an enterprise LMS. Setup is reported by users to be time-consuming, and the platform’s depth can require significant configuration before it is usable. Tribal Habits is specifically built for organisations where training is managed by one person wearing multiple hats or small training teams that need maximum leverage. Guided content creation, included onboarding, and 1:1 support mean most organisations are up and running within a few days.

What is included in Litmos' base plan?

Litmos’ Foundation AI Suite is the entry-level plan, designed for organisations with fewer than 100 learners. It includes basic LMS features and a starter content package of around 140 courses. Content authoring, a broader compliance library, advanced analytics, and API access are only available on higher-tier plans. Implementation services are sold separately across all plans. Pricing is not published – a custom quote is required regardless of plan tier.
