7taps

7taps is a web-based microlearning system for building, hosting, delivering and tracking training. It fits small and midsize businesses wanting a standalone platform, as well as enterprise teams adding short-form learning to an existing LMS. Its strongest proposition is fast, app-free distribution with substantial content automation; organisations needing broad exports, SSO or multiple creators should budget for Enterprise.

Overview

7taps combines course authoring, hosting, learner delivery and tracking in one service. Courses open with a single click on any device, so recipients do not install an app. Link and QR-code delivery make it practical for frontline, distributed or occasional learners, while the web-only approach is a poor fit when native mobile applications are a requirement.

The product can operate independently for smaller companies or sit alongside established learning tools in larger organisations. Its workflow orientation, workplace-channel support and LMS connectivity give it useful reach, but the most consequential administrative and export capabilities are concentrated in the Enterprise tier.

Key features

AI-assisted authoring

Microlearning Copilot creates complete, scenario-based learning campaigns from strategic questions. That is valuable when a learning team has a clear objective but limited authoring time. Microlearning Transformer takes PowerPoints, PDFs, videos and other source material and turns them into learning content, providing a route from existing documentation to structured lessons rather than requiring a course to be built from scratch.

Delivery and integrations

Learners can receive courses through links and QR codes, and 7taps also supports Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, WhatsApp and SMS. HRMS synchronisation covers 45 leading platforms, while SAML-based single sign-on supports controlled access. The integration mix suits organisations that want training embedded in everyday communication, although SSO and HRMS access are Enterprise features.

LMS, localisation and security

7taps connects with existing LMSs through multiple standards. Enterprise customers can export SCORM, PDF and xAPI packages, which matters when records or content must move into another system. Training can be transformed into more than 100 languages with region-specific content and accents, a meaningful advantage for multinational workforces.

7taps states that it is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Customer data is encrypted at rest and transmissions use secure encryption protocols. The company says customer data is not used to train its AI, and uploaded converter files are deleted after processing. Real people staff product chat and respond within minutes of a request, adding practical help when a course workflow needs attention.

Pricing

Free

The Free plan costs nothing and includes one creator seat, unlimited course creation, two shared courses and up to 500 active learners. Link and QR delivery are included. It is a credible way to publish a small catalogue or evaluate the authoring workflow, but the two-course sharing cap limits ongoing programmes even though creation itself is unlimited.

Starter

Starter has custom pricing. It keeps one creator seat and removes the sharing restriction, allowing unlimited courses to be created and shared. Advanced learning-design tools, basic analytics and live chat support make it the sensible fit for a small team running a broader training schedule. It still lacks the multiple-creator, SSO, HRMS, advanced analytics and export package defined for Enterprise.

Enterprise

Enterprise also uses custom pricing and adds multiple creator seats, unlimited creation and sharing, SSO, HRMS integration, advanced analytics, SCORM, PDF and xAPI export, plus implementation assistance. It is the appropriate tier for larger organisations with governance, reporting or system-integration requirements; teams that only need a few shared courses are unlikely to need its added scope.

A free trial is available, giving prospective customers a way to assess fit before committing to a paid tier.

Platforms

7taps runs on the web and has no mobile apps. Courses are designed for access on any device through a browser, with workflow delivery through links, QR codes and connected communication channels.

Who it's for

Choose 7taps when you need microlearning that can be created from existing files, distributed without an app and connected to workplace tools. It is particularly well matched to SMBs wanting a standalone training service and enterprises supplementing an LMS. It is less suitable for buyers requiring native mobile apps or needing Enterprise-only integrations and exports on a lower-cost plan.

Pros and cons

Pro: Copilot and Transformer shorten the path from strategy or source files to usable learning content.

Pro: Browser access, links and QR codes remove app-install friction for learners.

Pro: More than 100-language localisation and region-specific accents support international delivery.

Pro: Slack, Teams, email, WhatsApp, SMS and 45-platform HRMS synchronisation cover varied workflows.

Con: The Free plan allows only two shared courses, restricting a continuing catalogue.

Con: Multiple creators, SSO, HRMS integration, advanced analytics and SCORM/PDF/xAPI export require Enterprise.

Con: There is no native mobile app.

Alternatives

For a reading-focused product with Android, iOS, macOS and web access, consider Headway; its free tier provides one pre-selected book summary per day. MetaMinder is a better match for a small creator-led setup with five free learners and five AI generations per month. Quitch suits quiz-centred programmes, offering unlimited quizzes on its free plan for up to 10 learners. Haekka is oriented to training in Slack, with a free allowance for up to 1,000 users. TalentCards offers Android, iOS, API and web access and a free tier for up to five users. 5Mins.ai is a paid alternative with compliance courses and AI videos in its annual plans. Gnowbe provides a free trial with 200 AI tasks and paid plans for larger automated-task volumes. Wranx is another paid, web-and-mobile option with AI content creation and Slack and Teams integration.

Verdict

7taps is a strong choice for teams that need rapidly produced microlearning, broad workplace delivery and app-free learner access. Choose it for the combination of AI-assisted creation, localisation and workflow integrations; look elsewhere if native apps are essential or if your budget requires SSO, HRMS connectivity and portable exports without moving to Enterprise.
