Trainual

What is Trainual?

Trainual is a training and knowledge management platform for small and growing businesses that need to document how the company runs and teach it to employees. Teams write processes, policies and role responsibilities as playbooks, assign them to people and track completion. It sits between a company wiki and a learning management system.

Key features of Trainual

• Process and SOP documentation: write procedures and policies as structured, searchable playbooks, with templates to start from.
• Role-based training: assign content by role so new hires get the right onboarding path.
• Testing and tracking: quiz employees and track who has completed what.
• E-signatures: collect signed acknowledgments on policies, with 300 a year on Pro and unlimited on Premium and Enterprise.
• Org chart and delegation: map roles and responsibilities across the company.
• Version history: 30 days on Core, 90 days on Pro and unlimited on Premium and Enterprise.

How Trainual works

An admin builds subjects, topics and steps for each process, then assigns them to roles or individuals. Employees work through the material, take tests and sign off on policies, and managers see completion status. Premium and Enterprise add a custom domain and SSO, and Enterprise adds API access.

Who uses Trainual?

Owners and operations leaders at growing small businesses who want repeatable onboarding and documented procedures. Trainual is also used by HR teams standardizing training across locations. Larger organizations on the Enterprise plan get a designated customer success manager and SOC 2 documentation access, per the vendor.

Trainual sells four plans: Core, Pro, Premium and Enterprise. The vendor does not publish plan prices and says pricing depends on team size and features, with a demo offered before you buy.
