Rootstock vs Articulate Rise 360
Rise 360 is the industry standard for responsive eLearning, but it comes with Articulate's enterprise pricing and content lock-in. Here's how Rootstock compares.
Why people switch from Rise 360
Rise 360 is a great tool, but it wasn’t built for the modern web. Authors who’ve switched to Rootstock cite three main reasons:
1. Price. Articulate 360 costs $1,399/year per seat. Rootstock starts free, with Professional at $35/month per seat and Business at $75/month per seat.
2. Accessibility. Rise 360 has improved its accessibility story, but Rootstock was built accessibility-first from day one. Every block, every interaction, every export meets WCAG 2.2 AA. Our editor itself is ATAG 2.0 compliant.
3. Content ownership. Rise courses can only be edited inside Rise. Rootstock uses an open JSON format. Export your content data anytime, in any format.
