Skillsoft Percipio Pricing 2026
By Oliver Wakefield-Smith, Founder, Digital Signet · Verified June 2026
Enterprise, quote-based. Skillsoft publishes no US list price, so the only primary public number is its filed UK government rate card - which we use here instead of buyer-reported aggregates.
UK G-Cloud 14 rate card (per member / year)
| Percipio tier | Per member/year at 100-member audience | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Percipio Essentials 2.0 | £102.99 | Business, leadership and compliance library |
| Percipio Essentials Plus | £123.22 | Adds expanded content breadth |
| Percipio Expert 3.0 | £331.63 | Adds technical / developer libraries (Codecademy) |
How to read this. These are the per-member annual rates Skillsoft filed for the smallest (100-member) authorised audience on the UK G-Cloud 14 framework. The rate card is a public government document, so it is a genuine primary source - but it is a UK public-sector price in pounds, and per-member cost drops sharply as the audience grows (the listing states a floor of £0.43 per user/year at maximum scale). A US enterprise quote will differ; treat this as a directional anchor and confirm your own number by RFP.
Pricing drivers
- Audience size. The dominant driver. On the G-Cloud rate card, per-member cost falls from three figures at a 100-member audience to single-digit pounds at very large audiences.
- Content tier. Essentials vs Essentials Plus vs Expert differ by library breadth. Expert unlocks technical and developer content (Codecademy).
- Contract length. Multi-year contracts typically reduce the per-member rate versus a single-year term.
- Modules. Skillsoft offers add-on content areas (Leadership, Tech & Developer Skills, Compliance, Business Skills); bundling versus unbundling changes the per-seat math.
- Geography. US, EMEA, and APAC pricing differ; the G-Cloud figures are UK public-sector rates and should not be read straight across to a US deployment.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Skillsoft Percipio cost?
Skillsoft does not publish a US list price; Percipio is enterprise quote-based. The closest primary public reference is Skillsoft's own filed UK G-Cloud 14 rate card, which lists per-member annual prices at a 100-member authorised audience of £102.99 for Percipio Essentials 2.0, £123.22 for Essentials Plus, and £331.63 for Expert 3.0. Those per-member rates fall steeply as audience size grows; the G-Cloud listing states a floor of £0.43 per user per year at maximum scale. These are UK public-sector rate-card figures in pounds, not US quotes, so US buyers should treat them as directional. Verified against the government filing, August 2026.
What does Skillsoft Percipio include?
Percipio is Skillsoft's learning experience platform. The Essentials tier provides access to Skillsoft's curated library covering business, leadership, and compliance content; Essentials Plus and Expert add expanded and technical/developer libraries (Codecademy for tech and dev). Content is structured into Channels (curated by topic) and Aspire Journeys (multi-course role-based pathways). Enterprise agreements add advanced learner analytics, custom learning paths, API integrations, and dedicated customer success support.
How does Skillsoft compare on price to LinkedIn Learning?
They are hard to compare directly: LinkedIn Learning publishes a Teams list price ($379.88 per user per year for 2 to 20 users) and quotes enterprise, while Skillsoft is quote-only in the US and only exposes a UK G-Cloud rate card. Skillsoft's library leans toward formal certification prep, compliance, and technical/developer content (Codecademy); LinkedIn Learning leans toward business skills and LinkedIn-integrated learning. For an accurate head-to-head, run an RFP against both with your own seat count.
Why does Skillsoft per-seat pricing vary so much?
Audience size is the dominant driver, and the G-Cloud rate card makes it explicit: the same Percipio Essentials tier that lists at £102.99 per member for a 100-member audience falls to single-digit pounds per member at very large audiences (the listing floor is £0.43 per user per year). Content tier (Essentials vs Essentials Plus vs Expert) and contract length also move the number, with multi-year commitments typically reducing the per-seat rate. The spread you see quoted reflects deals across all of those dimensions.
