Continu pricing
Continu prices by monthly active users, defined as unique users who log in or interact in a calendar month. There are three tiers: Growth for under 1,000 MAU, Professional for 1,000 to 5,000 MAU, and Enterprise for 5,000 or more. Prices for all three are contact sales. SAML SSO, SCORM and custom reporting are on Growth. Professional adds AI, e-commerce, external users and a dedicated CSM, and Enterprise adds API, webhooks, a sandbox and white-glove implementation. Implementation is 10% of first-year contract value, and capacity can be raised instantly. Free plan, trial and renewal terms are not available.

What Continu really costs
Continu publishes no price list, so the real cost depends on the quote. Use the questions below to turn a sales conversation into a number you can compare.
Add-ons and extras to budget for
- Implementation fee: 10% of first-year contract value.
Questions to ask about price
- What is the price per user or per unit, and what is the pricing basis (seats, employees, usage)?
- Is there a minimum number of seats or a minimum annual spend?
- What is the discount for annual billing, and can we start monthly?
- How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
- Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?
Is Continu worth the price?
Continu is good value for companies that want MAU-based pricing where inactive users cost nothing, and that value Slack, Teams and Zoom integrations. It gets expensive and awkward if you cross a tier boundary, since moving from under 1,000 MAU to Professional unlocks features but changes the quote, or if you need API access, which is Enterprise only. Teams that need to launch quickly may struggle with the recommended 60-day implementation.
Worth it if
- Companies wanting MAU-based pricing where inactive users cost nothing.
- Teams that value Slack, Teams and Zoom integrations.
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers wanting public prices.
- Teams that need quick launch without a 60-day recommended implementation.
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- Implementation is 10% of first-year contract value, with 60 days recommended.
- SAML 2.0 SSO is included from the lowest tier (Growth)
- Capacity can be raised instantly at any time.
- API access and webhooks only on Enterprise.
Our verdict on Continu
Continu is a corporate learning platform priced by monthly active users, with three tiers and no public prices. Its model has one clear cost upside: a user counts only if they log in or interact in a calendar month, so inactive users cost nothing. For companies with large rosters and uneven usage, that can matter. This makes Continu most interesting to firms with large rosters where only part of the workforce uses the platform in a given month.
The other cost to plan for is implementation, billed at 10% of first-year contract value, with 60 days recommended. A quote of $100,000 in year one would add $10,000 on top. Prices are not published, so every number has to come from sales. Ask whether the fee applies to add-on modules, and how tier changes are priced if your active users grow past 1,000.
