Arlo vs CourseStorm

Arlo vs CourseStorm

Why go with Arlo over CourseStorm? If you’ve outgrown CourseStorm, you’re not alone. Many training providers start there for its simplicity, but quickly discover its limits as their operations expand.

Arlo gives growing training organizations the end-to-end platform they need: CRM & learner tracking, powerful reporting, automation, payments, in-built LMS and elearning creation with blended learning delivery, and more. CourseStorm may have got you started, but you’ve outgrown the “registration plus” model and need the full training-management system that Arlo offers.

Grow revenue

Offer public courses, private sessions, webinars, and create and delivery elearning in one powerful system.

Eliminate double bookings

Get venue, room, resource and trainer availability built-in to your scheduling workflows for complete confidence.

CourseStorm Stops at Registration. Arlo Doesn’t.

CourseStorm gets you started with simple class registrations but that’s where it stops.

As your courses, instructors, and data needs grow, CourseStorm’s basic CRM, limited tracking, and lightweight reporting keep you stuck. No full activity history. No segmentation. No deep insights.

Arlo gives you the visibility and control CourseStorm can’t:

Flexible payments with Arlo

CourseStorm covers the basics, but when you scale, you need flexibility. Arlo supports complex pricing and payment models – including partial payments, group bookings, discounts, vouchers and invoicing.

Integrate Arlo with leading payment and finance tools like Stripe and Xero to streamline reconciliation and reduce admin.

Arlo gives you the flexibility to grow revenue your way:

More features with Arlo. Designed for scale.

CourseStorm lists 77 features on GetApp and is rated 4.5 (35 reviews) vs Arlo’s 4.7 stars (145 reviews). Fine for small businesses, but limiting when your programs expand. Arlo lists 106 features, offering the depth you need for high-volume courses, complex scheduling, and multi-instructor operations.

Arlo gives you enterprise-grade capability without the complexity:

Arlo delivers ILT, online and blended learning with ease

If you’re only running face-to-face sessions, CourseStorm works. But the moment you introduce online modules, blended learning, or digital assessments, CourseStorm can’t support you.

Arlo gives you a modern, unified delivery platform:
