Reporting is the weak link
Across LMS reviews, reporting is consistently the worst-reviewed part of the product: shallow, rigid, and quick to push you into a spreadsheet export and a weekend of pivot tables.

Build it. Deliver it. See what actually happened.
Today that takes three products bolted together: an authoring tool, an LMS, and a separate learning record store. FinchLMS is all three in one — create courses, deliver them to your learners, and see what actually happened inside them.
1One product instead of three — authoring, delivery, and the learning record, under one roof and one bill.
$2,100per month is the reported starting point for a standalone learning record store — paid before it answers a single question for you.
0lines of code needed to track what learners do. Every interaction is recorded automatically — no custom JavaScript, no instrumentation project.
The part your LMS can't show you
Your training data, in plain sentences.
Not a completion percentage. Not a spreadsheet export. A living feed of what your learners actually did — the moment it happens, in words anyone on your team can understand.
Learner activity · Forklift Safety & Compliance — Team B
Live
Alex revisited the safety scenario — the loading-dock near-miss, for the third time this week.
Maria passed the assessment on her second attempt — 92%, up from 64%.
Jordan spent 4 minutes on the lockout procedure — then got it right.
Priya replayed the de-escalation video twice before taking the quiz — and aced it.
Devon flagged a question as confusing: “Which valve closes first?”
Sam finished the compliance course — 38 minutes, start to finish, no skipped pages.
Powered by xAPI. Every action recorded automatically — no code, no custom JavaScript, ever. The standard stays under the hood; you just read the story.
The same morning, in a typical LMS report
Alex R. — Completed · Maria T. — Completed · Jordan L. — Completed · Priya S. — Completed
That's the whole story your current system tells you.
What you're missing today
Your LMS knows who finished. It can't tell you what happened.
This isn't a you problem — it's the shape of the market. Delivery got solved years ago. Understanding what learners did inside the course is still sold separately, at enterprise prices, in a form most teams can't use.
The fix is a second product
The real fix — a learning record store (LRS) — is sold on its own, and standalone pricing starts around $2,100 a month. That's a third contract, on top of your authoring tool and your LMS.
And it's still just plumbing
An LRS is a database with a chart builder. Your learning data goes in as raw statements; the answers still need technical work — custom queries, integrations, and someone fluent in xAPI — to come out.
Meaning dies at every seam
Authoring tool → LMS → LRS: at each handoff, the detail about which question, which page, which moment gets flattened into a score and a completion flag. By the time data reaches you, the story is gone.
What changes with FinchLMS
Five things your current stack can't tell you.
No new jargon to learn and no data team required. If a sentence in the feed raises a question, the answer is one click from the content it happened in.
See the whole learning journey, not just the finish line.
Which pages people linger on, what they replay, where they hesitate and where they give up. Completion is the last thing that happens in a course — FinchLMS shows you everything before it.
Find the exact moment your training breaks — then fix just that part.
A drop-off, a rewatched video, a question everyone misses: each one points at the precise page, question, or moment that needs work, instead of sending you to rebuild the whole course on a hunch.
Prove training changed how people work, not just that they showed up.
Connect learning activity to the outcomes you actually care about — fewer errors, faster onboarding, better customer calls — and walk into the budget conversation with evidence, not attendance.
Answers live where the course lives.
Analytics sit inside the same product as your content, down to the individual page and question. No exports, no separate dashboard tool to buy and learn, no asking IT to run a report.
Insight is included, not upsold.
The record store and the analytics are part of FinchLMS itself. You will never need a four-figure monthly add-on to find out what happened in your own courses.
Your courses, both ways
Native when you build with us. Welcome when you don't.
FinchLMS pairs with FinchLearn, our course authoring tool — but it isn't a walled garden. Bring the library you already have.
It just runs — no SCORM wrapper, nothing lost.
Courses authored in FinchLearn run natively in FinchLMS using the exact same blocks and interactions your learners saw in the editor: scenarios, questions, sliders, branching. No export, no zip file, no publish-and-pray — and because the player and the course are one system, every interaction is recorded at full fidelity.
Already have SCORM courses? Bring them.
Upload SCORM packages from the tools you use today and deliver them right alongside your native courses. Your existing library keeps working while you build what's next — no rip-and-replace, no re-authoring project.
The two-way door: what you build can leave with you.
FinchLearn courses live in the Open Course Format — an open, editable format, not a proprietary vault. Publish from the authoring tool straight into FinchLMS, and export your courses back out whenever you like. Your content is yours; we earn the renewal by being good, not by holding the files.
Pricing philosophy
The insight layer isn't an add-on.
Every vendor in this market will happily sell you the database your learning data lives in — separately, at enterprise prices, after you've already paid for the tool that made the course and the LMS that delivered it. FinchLMS includes the record store and the analytics in the product. One product, one bill, and data you can actually read from day one.
The bolted-together stack
~$2,100/mo…just for a standalone LRS — before the authoring tool and LMS bills, and before anyone turns raw data into answers.
IncludedFinchLMS records and explains every interaction as part of the product — not a tier, not an upsell, not a second contract.
