Detailed Comparison by Category

Training Breadth

Arythmatic

Arythmatic supports any training topic — security awareness, compliance, onboarding, skills development, customer education — in one unified platform.

KnowBe4

KnowBe4 covers only security awareness and phishing simulation. All other training requirements need a separate platform.

Platform Consolidation

Arythmatic

Arythmatic replaces multiple training tools with one platform, reducing vendor management overhead and providing a unified learner experience.

KnowBe4

KnowBe4 adds another single-purpose tool to an organization's training stack, increasing vendor complexity and learner confusion from multiple platforms.

Total Cost of Ownership

KnowBe4's custom pricing varies but typically runs $15-25+ per user annually. For a 500-person organization, that is $7,500-12,500+ per year for security training alone — on top of whatever the organization pays for a general LMS. Arythmatic at $49/month can serve as both the general LMS and the security training delivery platform, potentially eliminating the need for a separate KnowBe4 subscription.

Switching from KnowBe4 to Arythmatic

1.Evaluate whether security awareness training can be consolidated into a general-purpose LMS

2.Set up Arythmatic and create or import security awareness training alongside other organizational training

3.Build comprehensive training programs that include security awareness within broader employee development curricula

KnowBe4 can be deployed in 1-2 weeks; consolidating security and general training into Arythmatic takes approximately 2-3 weeks.
