Can Rise be purchased separately?

Hi Talia,

I believe that at the moment Rise can only be licenced as part of the Articulate 360 subscription.

Thanks!

HI Talia,

If you want to discuss how Articulate 360 can help with all your e-learning needs our Success team is available here via email and phone. Here are some general Articulate 360 FAQs as well. 

Let me know if you need anything else!

Are there any works in the future, for RISE to be sold separately? I have Storyline 2 right now, and am not ready for the 360 upgrade just yet.

Hi Yael,

Thanks for reaching out! Rise is still a part of the Articulate 360 suite of tools and no plans yet to split it out for individual purchase. You may want to take a look at the trial of Articulate 360 here! and see how the different tools will work and how they work together, and here's a nice breakdown of how each of the tools will help with your course creation.

If you have any questions about pricing or the specifics of how each tool may work for you, our Sales team is happy to talk through it with you. 

Now that Gomo is creating market pressure for cloud-hosted intuitive authoring, Rise should have a separate purchase track for lighter weight users. Perhaps a subscription model with the option for annual upfront at a discount. Not much longer until Adobe CaptiveCloud is released either...

If Gomo or some other new browser-based tool is able to disrupt and take market share from the established brands (like yours), it will be very difficult to avoid being viewed as legacy by a younger generation of authors.

Not only should Rise 'rise up' and jump out and be extremely competitively priced, it should offer an enterprise license option to capture the most value possible and be as sticky as possible to these larger consumers of your products. 

I'd have to concur with drew, the main thing preventing adoption of Rise at our institution is it's pricing model and the lack of author accounts.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for weighing in on this. I wanted to confirm what you meant though by "lack of author accounts"? Could you share a bit more information so that I can share that request with my team? 

Typically after an elearning project is complete it needs to be reviewed by the SME who often makes changes to the wording of text. With only a handful of accounts it's not possible to do this, so the elearning developer has to note the changes, apply them in Rise and then ask the SME to review again. A possible solution to this would be an account type that could be used by the SME for flagging edits (i.e. like track changes or review in Word).

Thanks, Christian. That's helpful! If you're using Rise, have you also looked at publishing to Review? That is a great way to allow SMEs to make comments on the course as they interact with it, and it'll create a screen capture of what they see when the comment is submitted. 

Also, if you're using a 360 Teams account, you could look at adding your SMEs to a seat and inviting them to collaborate on a Rise course to make edits.
