Yes. You don’t need a training background to get started. Most people who use Niche Academy are librarians, program coordinators, or nonprofit leaders—not professional trainers. Our built-in content and simple authoring tools make it easy to create and deliver high-quality training.

Each tier is based on the number of users and the level of customization and support you need. Here’s a quick summary:

• Explore: Ideal for small teams using ready-made content (up to 10 users).
  
  
• Guide: Great for growing organizations who want to personalize tutorials or create their own (up to 35 users).
  
  
• Build: Best for organizations training multiple departments or larger groups (up to 75 users).
  
  
• Transform: Custom pricing for large or public-facing training initiatives.
  
  

Each step up gives you more users, more customization options, and deeper support.

All plans include a branded Academy, access to ready-made tutorials, usage reporting, and support. Higher-tier plans offer more tutorial slots, the ability to customize content or create your own, and additional features like:

• Custom reports
  
  
• Public-facing content (no login required)
  
  
• API access and integrations
  
  
• Dedicated customer success support
  
  

See the pricing table above for a full comparison.

Absolutely. You can upgrade at any time as your needs grow. We make it easy to adjust your plan so you’re never paying for more than you need.

Each plan includes a maximum number of users. If you need temporary access for additional users—like seasonal staff or volunteers—you can add 25-user blocks for $99/month each.

• Marketplace tutorials include professionally developed content from our in-house learning design team, along with high-quality tutorials shared by other Niche Academy subscribers. You can preview any tutorial before adding it to your Academy.
  
  
• Personalizing tutorials means you can add or remove sections from Marketplace content—such as inserting local procedures or removing parts that don’t apply—but you cannot directly edit the existing text.
  
  
• Creating your own tutorials means building training from scratch using our built-in authoring tools.
  
  

Most organizations mix and match: they start with Marketplace tutorials and personalize or create their own as needed.

• With Explore, you can add up to 10 tutorials.
  
  
• With Guide, up to 35 tutorials per Academy.
  
  
• Build and Transform both offer unlimited tutorials.
