Common questions

Straight answers about Nialtus and iSpring LMS.

Yes. Export them from iSpring Suite as SCORM packages and upload them to Nialtus, where completions and scores are tracked like any other course.

No. The Free plan covers up to 10 people, and paid plans start with Launch for up to 100 active people, with packs of 100 more as you grow. Every active person counts, in any role.

iSpring LMS publishes per-user prices from $3.97 to $6.91 a month, billed annually, with a 100-user minimum. The table above shows the monthly cost of both at the same team sizes.

If your current system can export people and completion records to a CSV file, you can bring that history into Nialtus. Add people with the People CSV import, then use Import history to bring in completions, progress, scores, and expiry dates, matched to each person by email or employee number. Course content comes across as SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC packages or an IMS Common Cartridge, or is rebuilt in Nialtus. Certificate files from the old system are not imported, but Nialtus can issue its own certificates dated to the original completion. See how switching to Nialtus works.
