BranchTrack and ScenarioSplice do the same narrow job — branching scenarios, not full-course authoring — which makes them unusually easy to compare. The split is who the pricing is shaped for. BranchTrack is built for an L&D department: illustrated character art, SCORM packaging, team workspaces, and a quote that assumes a department budget behind it.
The practical difference shows up in whose name is on the finished thing. On Professional ($19/month) a ScenarioSplice scenario carries your logo, your colors, and your own intro and completion screens — or your client’s. There is no seat count to true up at renewal and no procurement thread to start. If you are an independent consultant billing three clients, or a two-person L&D function inside a mid-size company, that shape matters more than any single feature.
Here is the plain comparison, then where each tool genuinely wins.
Three things, and they matter if you are enterprise L&D. First, the character art: BranchTrack scenarios look like illustrated simulations out of the box, with no image sourcing on your part. Second, SCORM export, which means completion tracking inside your LMS — if auditable per-learner records are a requirement, that is a real capability we do not have. Third, team workspaces and enterprise support. If your org needs those three, BranchTrack is a strong product and nothing on this page argues otherwise.
Whose brand is on it, and how fast you get there. Every new scenario opens as a decision-tree template rather than a blank canvas, the AI drafting assist proposes text you accept or reject, and the feedback tags (correct, incorrect, partial, info) exist to teach nuance rather than just score it — with private facilitator notes alongside. Learners never make accounts: one link, any browser, any phone.
Then Professional ($19/month) puts your logo, colors, and custom intro and completion screens on what the learner actually sees, and takes our name off it. Save that as a brand kit and it applies to the next scenario in one click. Building is free, so you can write the whole thing, test it as a learner, and only pay at the point where you need it to look like yours.
This is the case where the two tools diverge hardest. A consultant running a de-escalation workshop for a healthcare client and a compliance refresher for a logistics client needs two different-looking deliverables, this quarter, without a license negotiation in front of either one. Swap the brand kit between them and the same scenario engine delivers under two different names.
The honest limit: there is no client workspace, no sub-account, and no way to hand a client their own editor login today. You hold the account, you build, they receive a link. For a solo consultant or a small agency that is usually the arrangement anyway — but if you need clients editing their own content, neither this nor a single BranchTrack seat is what you want.
If completion has to land in an LMS transcript, or your learners expect illustrated characters, or several colleagues need to co-edit in one workspace — that is BranchTrack, and no amount of price difference changes it. If what you need is a scenario next week that carries your name or your client’s, without a seat count, start here. Building costs nothing, so the comparison costs you an afternoon rather than a license.

Not if you rely on SCORM tracking, the character library, or team workspaces. For build-a-scenario-and-share-a-link, yes — and the build is usually faster.
No importer exists. Branching scenarios are small by design, though — rebuilding one in the decision-tree template typically takes under an hour.
Building, testing, and sharing scenarios is free, with no limit on how many — what learners see carries a small "Made with ScenarioSplice" line. Professional removes that and lets you deliver under your own or a client’s brand: logo, colors, custom intro and completion screens, a reusable brand kit, and access-code protected links. Professional is $19/month and you can start it today.
Yes, on Professional — logo, colors, and the intro and completion screens, saved as a brand kit you can swap per client. What you cannot do yet is give a client their own login or workspace; you build and hand them a link.
Everything exports as JSON, free, at any time. Your scenarios are yours.
