Wizer

Wizer is a security awareness training platform founded in 2019 that has built a distinctive position in the category by combining short, engaging training videos with a genuinely free tier and dramatically lower paid pricing than the established leaders. Wizer serves thousands of small businesses globally as of 2026, particularly those for whom KnowBe4 (with enterprise-tier pricing) and Proofpoint Security Awareness Training (enterprise-only) are not viable.

The platform's defining proposition is accessibility. Wizer's free tier is genuinely free for unlimited users — including a curated training video library covering common topics (phishing, password hygiene, social engineering, mobile security, working from home), basic admin reporting, and tracking. The paid tiers add phishing simulation, custom training content, advanced reporting, and integration with email security platforms.

**Pricing (as of 2026, per wizer-training.com/pricing):** Free tier is unlimited users with the core video library and basic admin tracking. Boost plan at ~$1.50-3/user/month adds phishing simulation, custom content, and advanced reporting. Enterprise plan adds dedicated success management, custom integration support, and on-premise deployment options at custom pricing.

The training content is intentionally short-form — most videos are 1-3 minutes — based on the principle that training engagement is more important than training depth. Compare to traditional compliance training where 30-60 minute modules drive disengagement and minimal real-world behavior change.

According to G2 and Capterra (combined 200+ reviews as of Q1 2026), Wizer reviewers most frequently cite the genuinely free tier (unusual in the category), the engaging video format, and the responsive customer support as standout strengths.
