Questions this page can answer

Do Adobe Captivate and iSpring Suite export SCORM 1.2?

Adobe Captivate — SCORM 1.2 is Yes (claimed). Plan named here: Individual subscription (and team or enterprise licenses of the same apps). Adobe’s help states that the current Captivate publishes HTML5 packages as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, AICC, and xAPI. The subscription includes the apps; export is not a higher add-on. iSpring Suite — SCORM 1.2 is Yes (claimed). Plan named here: iSpring Suite ($970/author/year) or Suite AI ($1,290). Noncommercial iSpring Free also claims these exports.. iSpring’s product description says Suite AI publishes to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, cmi5, and AICC. The $970 Suite is the same authoring line with fewer AI and cloud extras, not a lower standards tier.

What prices does this index list for Adobe Captivate and iSpring Suite?

Adobe Captivate is listed at $39.99 / month, billed annually. Confidence: Uncertain figure. The index table uses “$39.99/mo annual”. A pricing check dated 20 Sep 2026 read the individual plan as $39.99 per month, billed annually, including Captivate and Captivate Classic. An Adobe FAQ page still says a new individual subscription costs $33.99 per month. Those two public figures disagree, so the dollar amount is marked uncertain even though a paid individual subscription is clearly the entry plan. Team and enterprise licensing are quote-based. iSpring Suite is listed at $970 per author / year. Confidence: Published list price. The index table uses “$970/author/yr”. iSpring’s pricing page lists iSpring Suite at $970 per author per year and iSpring Suite AI at $1,290 per author per year. Both are the desktop PowerPoint add-in. Suite AI adds cloud storage, review, and higher AI limits. A separate browser product, iSpring Cloud AI, is $720 and is tracked on its own page. iSpring also offers iSpring Free for personal, noncommercial use, which the vendor says can publish the same standards. The index lists both figures and does not convert currencies or choose a cheaper plan.
