Standards and the plan that exports them
| Standard | Support | Plan required | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCORM 1.2 | Yes | 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. | Claimed |
| SCORM 2004 | Yes | Individual subscription Named alongside SCORM 1.2 in Adobe’s SCORM packaging help. | Claimed |
| xAPI (Tin Can) | Yes | Individual subscription Named in the same official publish list as SCORM and AICC. | Claimed |
| cmi5 | No | No plan named cmi5 is not in Adobe’s published list of LMS standards for the current Captivate (SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, AICC, xAPI). Older community threads guessing that cmi5 would arrive are not a feature claim. | Claimed |
Price
$39.99 / month, billed annually
Uncertain figure · Table label: $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.
