Why people switch from Mindsmith

Mindsmith’s AI generation is appealing for speed, but authors who need production-quality courses switch to Rootstock for:

1. Production control. AI-generated content needs heavy editing. Rootstock’s visual editor gives you precise control over every block, with 23 content types designed for instructional design.

2. Real SCORM export. Rootstock produces valid SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI packages tested against SCORM Cloud. Your courses work in any LMS.

3. Accessibility compliance. Rootstock outputs WCAG 2.2 AA compliant courses with a built-in checker. When compliance matters, you need tools built for it.
