Why Tartan

Wizer vs Tartan: What One School Pays Over Three Years

Why Tartan wins

What the Two Price Lists Show

Wizer says it's built to help organizations train their employees, and sells student training as an add-on. We built Tartan only for K-12. The Wizer prices on this page are list prices, before the education discount Wizer quotes on request.

  • Five Schools, 300 Staff

    At 300 users, Wizer Boost lists at $17 a user a year, or $15,300 over its 3-year term. Tartan's phishing simulations, staff videos, and report button cost five schools $2,511 for three years, with unlimited staff at every school.

  • What Wizer's Free Plan Leaves Out

    Wizer's free plan has basic training videos. Its pricing table marks phishing simulation, report buttons, single sign-on, and gamification as not included. Those come with Boost.

  • A Published Price for Student Training

    Wizer lists student training as an add-on and publishes no price for it (as of October 2026). Tartan's Student Phishing & Video Training, designed mainly for middle and high school students, costs one public school $770 for three years.

  • A Report Button for Every Staff Member

    Wizer's setup guide says its Gmail report button doesn't respond for people who aren't Wizer users, and Wizer charges per user. Tartan prices per school with unlimited staff, so every staff member can have Tartan App Shield in Gmail or Outlook for the one per-school price.
