Accessibility: Eduspera's core difference
Eduspera makes accessibility the baseline: WCAG 2.2 AA components, keyboard navigation, automatic captions, accessible authoring. For organisations affected by the European Accessibility Act, public-sector procurement, professional bodies and disability organisations, an inaccessible platform is a legal and reputational risk. Circle is a polished community product; accessibility conformance is not a headline of its public materials — verify it if your learners rely on assistive technology.
Pricing and migration
Eduspera starts at €37/month (billed annually) for Start, €73 for Grow and €183 for Expand. Circle is positioned as a mid-to-premium community platform; as of June 2026 paid plans commonly start around $89/month (Professional) and rise from there — verify current figures on their pricing page.
If you are moving from Circle, two things make the switch low-risk: your first year is 50% off, and our team handles the entire migration for free — students, courses, lessons, videos and assignments — typically with you live within one week.
Where Circle fits well
Circle is a strong choice when a premium, well-designed community is the heart of your offer and courses live alongside discussions, events and members.
Where Eduspera fits well
Eduspera fits when structured, sellable, accessible courses are the core — with paths, assignments, branding, per-course SEO and EU data residency — rather than community as the primary product.
Switching from Circle to Eduspera
If you need a real course platform rather than a community add-on, Eduspera migrates your courses, lessons, media and members for free. We can demo your content on Eduspera first.
