What Skillboost does

Skillboost is a Sweden-based SaaS company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Malmö, that operates a web-based course management and administration platform for educational providers and training organizations. The platform unifies bookings, course content delivery (e-learning, webinar, and classroom formats), participant and order management, automated invoicing, and certificate/diploma generation into a single system, with a drag-and-drop course builder and rule-based automation for multi-stage programs. Native integrations with the dominant Swedish accounting platforms Fortnox and Visma, plus an open API, allow customers to plug Skillboost into existing financial and operational workflows. The customer base spans over 100 Swedish organizations across diverse verticals including veterinary care, religious organizations, construction, food and beverage, finance, technology, and family services, with named customers such as AniCura, Svenska Kyrkan, Byggakademin, Brödernas, and SSF.

The platform is delivered as a cloud SaaS product with three published pricing tiers: Pro at 1,800 SEK/month, Business at 4,299 SEK/month, and Premium at 8,750 SEK/month, all on annual contracts and excluding VAT, with participant caps of 250, 750, and 5,000 respectively and a custom tier above 5,000 participants. Higher tiers add SCORM upload, SAML single sign-on, dedicated account management, and open API access. The company also operates a Studio professional services module offering content production, animation, video, transcription, translation, and project management, sold exclusively as an add-on to existing Skillboost customers, creating a services-led expansion path on top of the SaaS base.

Skillboost runs a sales-led, demo-driven go-to-market targeting Swedish educational providers and corporate training departments, supported by a Swedish-language content marketing blog and direct website sales with 'Book a demo' and 'Get started' calls-to-action. The company is privately held, employs 11-50 staff, and operates solely within Sweden, with Swedish and English support and SEK-denominated pricing; no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or geographic expansions have been disclosed in the available source material.

Broad incumbents

• Docebo: Enterprise LMS suite with course administration, automation, SCORM/xAPI compliance, and integrations. Operates at higher ACVs and broader scale than Skillboost, competing for the upper end of Skillboost's Premium tier customers.
• Absorb LMS: Enterprise LMS platform offering course administration, e-commerce, and compliance training features with strong integrations. Comparable to Skillboost on the administrative surface (bookings, courses, certificates) but at larger enterprise scale and ACVs.
• Kajabi: All-in-one creator platform bundling courses, marketing, and commerce. Overlaps with Skillboost on course commerce and administration but layers on marketing pipelines, lacking Skillboost's Swedish-language and Fortnox/Visma integration depth.

Direct peers

• LearnDash: WordPress-based LMS used by training providers and educators to deliver online courses, quizzes, and certificates. Comparable to Skillboost on course administration, certificate/diploma generation, and focus on course businesses rather than internal corporate training.
• Teachable: End-to-end course platform combining course builder, payments, and student management for course creators and training businesses. Mirrors Skillboost's combination of bookings, course administration, automated invoicing, and tiered subscription plans.
• TalentLMS: SMB-friendly LMS used by small and mid-sized training organizations for course delivery, e-learning, and compliance training. Comparable to Skillboost on tiered SaaS pricing, course administration, SCORM support, and target customer profile of training-provider SMBs.
• Thinkific: Course creation and sales platform used by individual educators and SMB training providers. Overlaps directly with Skillboost on online course administration, student management, and tiered SaaS pricing for course sellers.
• Podia: All-in-one platform for course creators combining course hosting, digital downloads, and email marketing. Overlaps with Skillboost on course sales, product management, and tiered pricing for course businesses.
• LearnWorlds: Course platform with strong emphasis on professional training providers, offering a course builder, student engagement, automation, and SCORM support. Closely comparable to Skillboost on enterprise tier (SCORM, SAML), automation features, and training-provider positioning.
• Simplero: Nordic-headquartered course and membership platform serving creators, coaches, and training providers in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Closely comparable to Skillboost in target audience (course businesses), B2B2C course commerce model, and Nordic market focus.
