Unlimited Scaling Potential

Both Thinkific Plus and Absorb LMS offer robust platforms for digital learning, with features like app integrations and AI-powered tools. However, Thinkific Plus stands out with its truly unlimited scaling potential for courses and students, unlike Absorb's volume-based pricing model that can stifle growth.

Thinkific Plus's member-only Communities create deeper engagement opportunities that go beyond Absorb's basic social learning features. The Thinkific Plus App Store offers nearly four times the integration options compared to Absorb, with 97 apps including third-party apps. While both platforms offer AI capabilities, Thinkific Plus's native Zapier integration enables far more automation possibilities compared to Absorb's limited webhooks. Additionally, Thinkific Plus provides creators with a private instructor community and a significantly more comprehensive knowledge base filled with detailed examples and guidance.

If you're seeking a platform that combines unlimited scalability with robust community features and superior integration options, Thinkific Plus is the clear choice.

Integrations

SCORM

SCORM is an acronym which stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model”. SCORM is a recognized e-learning standard consisting of several technical requirements. When content is designed to be SCORM-compliant, it allows that content to be shared across multiple learning management systems (LMS’s). SCORM introduces many benefits for learners and creators including easy access, cost-efficiency, more adaptable content, and interoperability.

We’ve built Thinkific Plus to support SCORM so that existing interactive content built on third-party authoring tools can be imported and incorporated into your courses for learners to access and enjoy.

Authoring tools are used to develop content like interactive quizzes, simulations, and games. By importing content built on third-party authoring tools onto Thinkific Plus, you are able to introduce these unique experiences to customers through your course offerings and store basic learner data as they progress.

Thinkific Plus currently supports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, 4th edition
