QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Niche Academy, and who is it for?

Niche Academy is an easy-to-use training platform designed specifically for libraries and nonprofits. It helps your team deliver consistent training to staff, volunteers, and even the public—without needing formal instructional design experience.

I’m not a trainer. Can I still use Niche Academy?

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.

What’s the difference between the pricing tiers?

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.

What’s included with each plan?

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.

Can I start with a lower plan and upgrade later?

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.

How do user limits work?

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.

What's the difference between using tutorials from your Marketplace and creating my own?
  • 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.

How much content can I add?
  • With Explore, you can add up to 10 tutorials.

  • With Guide, up to 35 tutorials per Academy.

  • Build and Transform both offer unlimited tutorials.

Marketplace and custom tutorials count toward your total.

Can I embed tutorials on our website?

Yes, if you're on the Transform tier. This lets you share tutorials publicly—no login required—ideal for community training or outreach.

What kind of support will I get?

Every plan includes email support. Higher-tier plans include phone support, scheduled check-ins, and even a dedicated customer success team for the highest tier.

I don’t have a lot of time or staff. How long does it take to get set up?

You can set up your Academy in minutes. Most customers launch their first tutorials within an hour—and start seeing real results within a week.

What happens at the end of the 30-day free trial?

You can upgrade to any plan when you’re ready. If you don’t, your account will pause, but your content will be saved for at least 6 months. No credit card is required to start.

Do I need to sign a contract?

Nope. There are no long-term contracts or hidden fees. Cancel anytime. If you cancel your plan, your academy will remain active until the end of your billing cycle.

Do you offer savings for multi-year plans?

Yes. The Transform plan offers multi-year savings. Reach out to us to learn more.
