How to Choose Between Skillcast & Kurrio
Skillcast gives organisations a comprehensive compliance ecosystem with a large, pre-built library deeply tailored to UK and EU regulations. It operates in complex sectors, notably financial services. Kurrio also works in complex compliance spaces. Unlike Skillcast, it doesn’t include its own LMS (Learning Management System). Instead, it generates quizzes and multi-page courses, tracks completion against requirements, and connects natively to your LMS.
UK-based Skillcast has been operating for more than 25 years, while Kurrio was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Texas, US.
Take a look at some of the key differences to see which platform suits you needs best.

Where Skillcast wins
Comprehensive UK and EU-specific regulation
Skillcast offers deep, specialist training for highly regulated markets such as financial services. Its dedicated Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) library contains over 70 modules covering banking, investments and mortgages, with direct indexing to the FCA Handbook, CONC, COBS, Conduct Rules and CASS.
Complete content transparency
With Skillcast, you know exactly what you are getting. It publishes concrete numbers across its entire catalogue, including 35 EU compliance courses, over 60 FCA modules, 30 insurance courses and more than 100 essential compliance blocks.
Advanced compliance operations
Skillcast functions as an operational compliance hub – it’s not a passive learning portal. Premium plans include dedicated tools such as Policy Hub, SMCR Registers, Training360 (to log offline professional development), compliance surveys, and formal staff declarations. Whether used as a fully managed standalone portal or integrated to feed content into an existing corporate LMS, Skillcast provides a complete suite for managing compliance risk. While Kurrio connects with an organisation’s LMS, tracks metrics and allows users to access AI-generated courses, it doesn’t develop its own content.
Named integrations
Skillcast provides clear documentation for enterprise procurement by explicitly naming its integration partners. It connects directly with key identity providers (Okta, Azure AD), communication tools (Slack), and major HR platforms like Workday, HiBob, and BambooHR, so it’s easy to get started
Get in touch easily
UK phone number, email, online portal and general web form are all available.

Pricing
Skillcast provides tailored pricing across Standard, Enhanced and Premium plans. This approach ensures that you only pay for the specific course libraries, features and compliance tools your organisation needs. The Standard tier includes core library access and portal branding, while higher tiers introduce features like diagnostic assessments, Policy Hub and full single sign-on (SSO) integration.
Kurrio offers fixed pricing tiers to help buyers to determine the upfront costs – but that can mean you end up paying for features you don’t use. Since Kurrio doesn’t include its own LMS, factor in the cost of that too.
With this no-obligation free trial you'll have access to our libraries and compliance platform.
