Common questions

Straight answers about Nialtus and Sana.

Sana does not publish prices; it says it tailors Sana Learn pricing to each company’s size and needs. The table above shows what Nialtus costs at the same team sizes.

Yes, on Launch and above: an AI tutor answers learners’ questions about their courses, alongside AI course authoring, quiz generation, narration and translation. AI use is measured in credits included with each plan.

Nialtus schedules live sessions, manages seats and waitlists, and records attendance, but it does not host video calls itself, so you run the call in your usual meeting tool. On Growth and above, Nialtus creates the Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet meeting for each session and reads attendance back.

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.
