VisitSkills Base vs Trainora
What both publish
| Fact | Skills Base | Trainora |
|---|---|---|
| API limits | API GET requests return at most 500 records, and rate and active-token limits apply. | List endpoints are capped at 500 rows, and the API does not create people, competencies, or sessions. |
| Integrations | The vendor says Skills Base connects skills data with HR, learning, AI-agentic, CRM and business-intelligence systems through APIs. | The API page documents REST endpoints, a webhook for newly created records, and an MCP endpoint usable by MCP-compatible clients; it says Trainora implements the protocol rather than integrating with a specific vendor. |
| Purpose | Skills Base is skills management software for frontline and operational teams that gives real-time visibility of verified skills, role requirements, and certification status. | Trainora is a self-hosted training matrix for tracking people’s competencies, completion evidence, and expiry dates. |
| Security | The pricing page says Skills Base follows GDPR processing principles and ISO 27001 aligned controls, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and logs auditable interactions. | API keys can be read-only or read-and-write, and a key cannot exceed the permissions of its associated user. |
