ThingLink is the closer fit when employee training needs an interactive scenario, learner analytics, or LMS integration. Its Team plan includes Scenario Builder; its Business plan adds LMS integration and learner reporting.

How much do Spott and ThingLink cost?

Spott asks customers to request a tailored enterprise quote rather than publishing a fixed price. ThingLink lists Create Starter at $232 per year or $29 per month in its US-dollar pricing guide; its Team plan starts at $500 per month.

Can I try either product before paying?

What usage limits should I check?

Spott’s enterprise pricing page lists publishing domains starting at three and a 1,000 GB data-traffic allowance without stating its period. ThingLink’s business pricing page lists 250 views per month for its individual creator license; confirm the limits for the specific plan you intend to buy.

Can either product be deployed on our own infrastructure?

ThingLink lists private-cloud and on-premises options on Enterprise. Spott describes hosted embeds and an image extension that keeps the underlying image on your servers; it does not publish an on-premises deployment option.
