A Colossyan alternative that builds the whole course
Colossyan makes training videos with AI presenters, with quizzes and branching added to the video. Claro builds a full course from a topic or your documents: narrated lessons with animated slides, practice after each idea, role plays and an AI tutor, exported to your LMS.

The short version
- Colossyan's output is a video with an avatar presenter. Claro's is a course of narrated lessons, with slides that animate in step with the narration.
- Colossyan's Professional plan ($59 a month, billed yearly) includes 5 SCORM exports a month, and its free plan none. On Claro Pro and Team, SCORM and xAPI export are not capped.
- Claro writes and structures the course itself, from a topic or your documents, then you edit it by asking Claro AI or in the editor.
- Claro adds an AI tutor learners can question, and role plays with an AI character who answers out loud.
Where Claro is different
- Practice is planned with the lesson: quizzes, branching scenarios and open answers graded by AI against a rubric.
- Role plays for sales calls, customer service and difficult conversations.
- Translate a course into 70 languages, narration included.
- Your LMS gets completion, every quiz answer and the resume point. See SCORM export.
When Colossyan is the better choice
- You want an on-screen presenter, or several avatars acting out a scene.
- You need a video file to publish outside an LMS.
Questions
Does Claro have avatars?
No. A narrator explains each slide while it animates, so the learner watches the idea instead of a presenter.
Is SCORM export limited?
No. Pro ($39 a month) and Team export as many SCORM and xAPI packages as you need. Pro includes 5 new courses a month and Team is unlimited.
Can I build from my own material?
Yes. Upload a PDF, a Word file or notes, and Claro builds the course from it. See PDF to course.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Your first 3 courses are free.
