Comparison
LearnLayer vs AG5: seeing the gap vs closing it.
AG5 is a strong skills-matrix visualisation tool. But when the matrix shows a gap, AG5 is done — and your team still needs an LMS, content, and a way to prove the gap was closed. LearnLayer Workforce does the whole loop in one product.
The difference in 30 seconds
Training delivery
AG5 tracks skills and certifications. LearnLayer additionally builds, assigns, and delivers the training that closes the gap — with AI course generation included.
Deployment
AG5 is SaaS-only, with private cloud reserved for Enterprise. LearnLayer runs in a managed EU cloud or fully on-premise inside your own network.
Pricing
AG5 pricing is quote-only across all tiers. LearnLayer publishes its plans, so you know the cost before the first sales call.

Where AG5 is a fair choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than win the deal. AG5 is a credible product, and for some teams it is enough:
- A mature, dedicated skills-matrix product with years of focus on audit-driven industries.
- Strong matrix visualisation and certification-expiry alerts out of the box.
- A sensible pick if you already run a full LMS you are happy with and only need tracking.
Why teams choose LearnLayer instead
The loop is closed in one product
A gap in the matrix becomes an assigned, AI-generated course, then a certificate, then an updated matrix cell — without a second tool or an integration project.
On-premise is a real option
If procurement or security requires the data to stay in your building, AG5 cannot say yes. LearnLayer ships as an on-premise installation.
You know the price up front
LearnLayer publishes its plans. AG5 requires a sales conversation for every tier.
The matrix never goes stale
Because training, certificates, and reviews live in the same system, every completion updates the matrix automatically.
Common questions
Does AG5 deliver training?
No. AG5 is a skills-matrix and certification-tracking tool. To deliver training you need a separate LMS and a way to sync results back. LearnLayer Workforce includes course authoring (with AI), assignments, learning paths, training events, and certificates in the same platform as the matrix.
Can AG5 be installed on-premise?
AG5 is a SaaS product hosted in its own data center; its Enterprise tier mentions private cloud, which is dedicated cloud infrastructure rather than software running inside your own network. LearnLayer Workforce offers a true on-premise installation for organizations that need full infrastructure and data control.
How does pricing compare between LearnLayer and AG5?
AG5 offers Core, Accelerate, and Enterprise tiers, all priced on request. LearnLayer publishes its plans on the pricing page; on-premise deployments are scoped after a technical fit review.
