NetMinder vs KnowBe4
A KnowBe4 alternative built for MSPs.
KnowBe4 is the biggest name in security awareness training, with a huge library and an enterprise feature set. NetMinder is smaller and narrower on purpose: a monthly program MSPs resell to small clients, with no long contract and a report built for insurance renewals.
| KnowBe4 | NetMinder | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Published per seat price, on a 3 year term | Per active user, billed monthly |
| Smallest price band | 25 to 50 seats | None, a five person office is five seats |
| Your own staff | No free internal licence mentioned in their MSP terms | Free for your own staff |
| Lessons | Large library: 200+ items on Foundation, 1000+ on Advanced | Two minutes, shown the moment someone clicks |
| Insurance evidence | 60+ built-in reports and risk scoring | Report built around insurer renewal questions |
| Click accuracy | Not stated on their product pages | Scanner visits filtered out of click rates |

Where KnowBe4 is stronger.
- A far larger content library, in 47+ languages
- Simulated voice calls, QR code and USB drop tests
- Enterprise integrations and AI-generated training
If those matter most to your clients, KnowBe4 is a good choice.
Why MSPs pick NetMinder.
- No three year commitment
- Billing is monthly for active users, so adding or losing a client never leaves you holding seats.
- Small clients welcome
- No minimum seats means a five person office costs five seats, not twenty five.
- Short beats exhaustive
- A two minute lesson on the exact scam someone just fell for is short enough to finish on the spot.
