Elai alternative for training teams
The Elai alternative with SCORM without Enterprise
Elai keeps SCORM on its Enterprise plan. Colossyan exports SCORM from Professional, five video and five course packages a month, and builds full courses around the video.

FULL COURSES, NOT JUST CLIPS
Full courses, SCORM-ready.
Build modules, knowledge checks and pass marks in Colossyan Learn, then export SCORM to your LMS. When a policy changes, you update the lesson instead of rebuilding the course.
Colossyan Learn
LESSON 1 · START SECURE
Build secure defaults from day one
Learn the simple habits that protect your accounts, messages, and devices throughout the workday.
Most breaches start with an ordinary moment, a reused password, a link that looked internal, a laptop left unlocked. This lesson covers the defaults that remove those moments from your day.

The short version
Which one fits your team?
Choose
Elai
- Your organization runs Panopto and wants AI video in the same library (Enterprise)
- One creator with basic interactivity is enough: Creator is $29 a month
- You mostly convert slide decks and want editable PPTX import
Choose
- You need SCORM without an Enterprise contract
- You want multi-lesson courses with scored quiz pages, not one video per package
- Your identity provider uses SAML

Training goes out of date faster than you can build it.
Most teams still juggle an authoring tool, a video tool and a translation agency, so every update means starting over. Teams on Colossyan draft in an afternoon, keep the final say on every scene, and update without rebuilding. Here's how Paramount, AmeriSave and others made the switch.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
No. Elai's pricing and help centre put SCORM export on the Enterprise plan only, as SCORM 1.2 or 2004 with one video per package. Colossyan exports SCORM from Professional, at $59 a month billed yearly: five video and five course packages a month, and unlimited on Enterprise.
Yes. Panopto announced it acquired Elai in October 2024. Elai is still sold at elai.io as a separate product with its own plans and sign-in, positioned inside Panopto as an AI Video Studio for microlearning. Its Panopto integration is on the Enterprise plan.
Not with Elai. Its SSO is Enterprise only and works with OpenID Connect providers; Elai states that SAML is not supported. Colossyan Enterprise supports both SAML and OIDC, through providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta and PingFederate, and our team sets it up on request.
Yes. Colossyan Starter is free with no credit card. It includes 20 minutes of video a month, AI avatars, quizzes and branching in up to 10 interactive videos a month, auto-translation and unlimited course creation. MP4 download and SCORM export start on Professional, at $59 a month billed yearly.
Colossyan holds a SOC 2 Type II report, shared under NDA, and is GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, and customer content is not used to train AI models. Enterprise adds SAML or OIDC single sign-on and a dedicated customer success manager.
It is a 30-minute call with our team. Bring a real document, deck or SOP and we build a first draft of a training video from it while you watch. Then we cover quizzes, translation, LMS export and your security questions, and you leave with a scoped plan for your team.
