Read the migration guideFrequently asked questions
Is AllureConnect a direct replacement for SCORM Cloud?
Yes. AllureConnect covers the same core capabilities as SCORM Cloud -- SCORM 1.2 and 2004 hosting, content dispatch, learner tracking, and a REST API -- while adding modern features like xAPI/cmi5 support, PPT-to-SCORM conversion, native multi-tenancy, and AI integration. Most teams can migrate without changing their integration architecture.
Can I migrate from SCORM Cloud to AllureConnect?
Absolutely. Export your SCORM packages from SCORM Cloud and upload them to AllureConnect through the dashboard or the REST API. The upload endpoint validates each package on ingest, so you will know immediately if anything needs attention. Learner data can be re-ingested via the xAPI endpoint if you need historical continuity.
How does AllureConnect pricing compare to SCORM Cloud?
AllureConnect publishes transparent pricing starting at $49 per month for the Starter plan, with self-serve checkout and no sales call required. SCORM Cloud uses a quote-based model, which typically results in higher costs and longer procurement cycles. AllureConnect also offers a free developer sandbox so you can validate your integration before committing.
Does AllureConnect support the same SCORM standards as SCORM Cloud?
Yes. AllureConnect supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (all editions), xAPI, and cmi5. Every package is validated on upload with manifest parsing and structural checks. Unlike SCORM Cloud, xAPI and cmi5 are included on every plan at no extra cost.
Can I try AllureConnect before committing?
Yes. Sign up for the free developer sandbox -- no credit card required. You get test API keys, up to 3 packages, and 25 launches per month. The sandbox uses the same API surface as production plans, so your integration code works identically when you upgrade.
What makes AllureConnect different from SCORM Cloud?
AllureConnect is built for modern development teams. It includes a full OpenAPI spec with interactive documentation, HMAC-signed webhooks with automatic retry, native multi-tenant isolation, a built-in PPT-to-SCORM conversion API, VR training delivery, and AI integration via MCP and GPT Actions. Pricing is transparent and self-serve from day one.
