Why people switch from Evolve
Evolve has a solid component library, but teams switching to Rootstock often mention:
1. Transparent pricing. Evolve requires contacting sales for pricing. Rootstock publishes prices openly and starts free.
2. Deeper accessibility. Rootstock includes a built-in accessibility checker and produces WCAG 2.2 AA output by default. Our editor is ATAG 2.0 compliant.
3. Modern export. Rootstock supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, and standalone web export from a single source. No vendor lock-in.
