keelearning and reteach at a glance

keelearning is a mobile-first training platform for frontline and deskless teams—such as those in manufacturing, retail, hospitality, or healthcare. Employees learn directly on the job via an app, without the need for a laptop or company email address, in over 20 languages. In addition to traditional courses, keelearning focuses on gamification elements and a knowledge community for team interaction, as well as open APIs and integrations, which allow the platform to be embedded into an existing software ecosystem.

reteach positions itself as a classic compliance LMS for German SMEs. The focus is on mandatory training, onboarding, and quality management for office and knowledge workers, featuring a particularly fast implementation process without a traditional IT project, as well as a very extensive course library as an add-on.

The biggest differences between the two platforms lie less in the basic concept of an LMS and more in three areas: access (mobile app vs. browser), course creation (didactically guided AI assistant vs. AI structure generator based on a description), and social learning. In the latter, keelearning distinguishes itself with its knowledge community, a feature not advertised on the reteach website.

keelearning vs. reteach feature comparison

The following table shows the most important differences at a glance. You can find details on the individual points below.

Mobile usage and accessibility

The biggest structural difference lies in accessibility: keelearning is designed as a standalone app, meaning employees don't need a company email address or a desk-based computer – a crucial factor for teams without fixed workstations. In contrast, reteach uses a browser-based model, which is primarily suited for employees who already work at a computer on a regular basis.

Course library and custom content

In terms of the sheer number of courses, reteach leads with 500+ courses—however, this course catalog is a separately bookable add-on and is not automatically included in the base price. The reteach base package only includes the free "AI College" with 7 courses. With 160+ course templates, keelearning offers a smaller library that is specifically tailored to frontline topics and is already integrated directly into the LMS in the base package—meaning courses can be assigned immediately without any additional purchases.

Both providers also take slightly different approaches to creating custom content: The AI course assistant in the authoring tool from keelearning is built on a sound pedagogical foundation—it guides you through course creation step-by-step and provides relevant course content based on your own input, supplemented by an automatic quiz question generator. reteach allows users to generate course structures and lesson texts from a short description—optionally including the upload of PDF, PPT, DOCX, image, or video files as additional context—also offers quiz creation for each lesson, and scores points with a drag-and-drop editor as well as the automated conversion of existing PDF or PowerPoint documents into video courses.

Gamification and knowledge community

Another difference lies in the playful and social aspect of learning: Quiz battles, badges, and leaderboards motivate regular usage in keelearning, while the knowledge community allows employees to comment on course content, ask questions, and access company knowledge directly through exchanges with colleagues—instead of having to search for it laboriously. Compared to reteach, which does not advertise comparable gamification or community features on its website, the knowledge community is a clear unique selling point of keelearning.

Mandatory training, compliance, and IT security

reteach focuses clearly on automated mandatory training: deadlines, reminders, and certificate management are automated, supplemented by add-on phishing awareness simulations. keelearning also offers test and certificate modules as well as notifications and escalation levels for mandatory training, but places a stronger emphasis on practical, mobile-first delivery.

APIs, integrations, and your software ecosystem

A learning management system rarely operates in isolation—it usually needs to fit into the existing HR and system landscape. Here, keelearning offers an open REST API as well as pre-built integrations with HR systems such as Personio, HR-Works, Factorial, and Kenjo, as well as Shopify and Salesforce. If a desired connection is missing, it can be implemented individually upon request. This allows keelearning to be expanded into a central access point from which you can reach your entire learning and HR system landscape—an ecosystem approach also pursued by other providers. reteach offers API access and HR tool connections starting with the Professional package.

Price comparison: keelearning vs. reteach

Both providers tier their prices based on the number of users. The following overview shows the publicly available packages—for an individual quote, it is recommended in both cases to contact the provider directly.

Note: Prices apply to annual billing; the price per user decreases as the team size grows (from €5.98 to €1.99 per user).

Note: Monthly or annual billing can be selected, and according to the provider, a 14-day free trial is offered.

keelearning or reteach: Which platform is right for whom?

keelearning is particularly suitable if…

•      Your employees primarily work without a fixed desk, PC access, or company email address – for example, in production, retail, hospitality, or healthcare.

•      Your teams are spread across multiple countries or languages.

•      You value exchange between employees – through gamification and knowledge communities – rather than just the pure transfer of knowledge.

•      You are looking for a platform that can be tightly integrated into your existing HR and system landscape via open APIs.

reteach is particularly suitable if …

•      Your employees primarily work at a desk and learn mainly via a browser.

•      Phishing simulations and IT security awareness training are a core requirement.

•      You are prepared to book the corresponding course catalog add-on for a very broad library of 500+ courses.

Can I test reteach or keelearning for free?

According to its website, reteach offers a 14-day free trial. For keelearning, we recommend a non-binding demo where you can explore the platform using your own specific use cases. If you are interested in keelearning after that, you will be given access to a test environment.

Which industries is keelearning best suited for?

keelearning is frequently used in industries with a high proportion of deskless employees, such as manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Customer training can also be effectively implemented with keelearning, making it the LMS of choice for software companies.

keelearning or reteach: The decision depends on your target audience

Neither keelearning nor reteach is the "better" choice across the board – both platforms are built for different starting points. As a mobile LMS, keelearning's strengths clearly lie in the combination of an integrated course library, didactically guided course creation, and a knowledge community that serves as a unique feature for team collaboration. If your employees work primarily on the go, in decentralized locations, or without a company email address, there is a strong case for it. If, on the other hand, the focus is on the automated management of standard compliance training and IT security training for office teams, reteach may be the more suitable solution.

The best way to judge this is based on your own use cases. Feel free to schedule a non-binding demo and experience how keelearning feels for your team.
