BrainsPro

BrainsPro is a Spanish-language SaaS platform for building a white-label online academy, aimed at two groups: teachers, coaches, influencers and content creators who want to sell courses, and companies that train their own staff, including subsidized training reported to FUNDAE. The home page promises a complete white-label academy "en minutos" (in minutes), hosted in the cloud with no installation. The sales page says the team has more than 15 years of experience in the training sector and calls the company "especialistas en crear Academias Online en tan sólo 24 horas" (specialists in creating online academies in just 24 hours), under the customer's own brand and without technical knowledge.

Building courses and running the academy

The course builder creates public courses that anyone can see or private courses for invited users only, using templates and drag-and-drop editing. Lessons can hold almost any material: the site lists uploading or embedding DOC, PPT, PDF, HTML5, SCORM and H5P files, interactive material and video. Delivery can be scheduled, with lessons released in a set order, or left open so students move at their own pace.

Live teaching happens in virtual classrooms with built-in videoconference rooms. An instructor can also stream an in-person class and broadcast seminars live to social networks. Communication runs through forums, web and mobile notifications, and individual and group messaging, and the site suggests using notifications to announce news and offers and forums to keep students engaged in collaborative learning. Assessment covers quizzes, tasks, exams and certificates, and every plan includes quizzes, surveys and custom certificates.

User management allows self-enrollment or manual registration of new users, either one by one or in bulk, with different roles and permissions. Administrators can view and download student data, enrollments and specific reports for subsidized training. The classroom is gamified, and the home page describes setting up gamification, rating surveys and incentives to encourage participation.

Students reach the academy on the web and through a mobile app. The site says students connect on iOS, Android and the web, and that BrainsPro builds a website and mobile app for promoting the course catalog in minutes. The academy can carry the owner's name, brand and theme, including the SSL certificate, which the site calls "marca blanca" (white label). Every customer gets a free subdomain in the form yourname.mybrainspro.com, and a custom domain or subdomain can be connected instead. External marketing tools can be added: the site names chatbots, banners, forms, CRMs and ERPs, and lists integrations and an API.

Selling courses

The e-commerce module, which the home page calls Becommerce, bundles landing pages, a sales gateway, coupons, offers and memberships. Courses can be sold one at a time, in packages, or as a membership for recurring income that also gives members a private network of peers and exclusive content. Sales pages, coupons and promotions, notifications and offers, and online seminars are listed as ways to draw in new students, and free courses can be offered on any plan.

Checkout stays on the academy's own site through the integrated payment gateway, without sending the buyer to a new window, and purchase confirmations and invoices are generated automatically. According to the FAQ, payments run through BrainsPro's integrated Stripe gateway, and earnings arrive either immediately or every 7 days directly in the creator's bank account. The FAQ answers the question of commissions with "Cero comisiones" (zero commissions), and there are no installation or setup fees on any plan.

Training for companies

For companies, BrainsPro positions itself as a learning management tool for internal training and talent management. Training managers plan training actions, assign them to people or groups, organize learning paths, and track learning results. Reports and data are available in real time, and the home page says companies can extract activity and compliance reports for training subsidized by FUNDAE, check each course's compliance status, and generate, assign and send certificates to each employee.

A library of pre-created courses and content across a wide range of topics and sectors is offered to save time on course creation, and the platform supports hybrid training that mixes online and in-person sessions. The enterprise offer lists a gamified LMS, a white-label mobile app, unlimited users, personalized learning paths, analytics and reports, enterprise API access, a dedicated customer success team, single sign-on (SSO) and a content catalog.

Plans and prices

The FAQ says prices are in euros and exclude VAT (IVA). Every plan includes the LMS and virtual rooms, the e-commerce module, unlimited courses and users, security and encryption, quizzes and surveys, and custom certificates. The annual option is advertised as saving 2 months.

• Starter, for new content creators: 69 a month on monthly billing, or 57 a month paid annually. It includes 1 admin, up to 50 GB of video hosting, a mybrainspro.com subdomain, unlimited users and courses, and chat support.
• Pro Trainer, for startups and professional trainers: 99 a month on monthly billing, or 82 a month paid annually. It adds 3 admins, up to 250 GB of video hosting, your own domain, coupons and discounts, FUNDAE reports, and live chat and email support.
• Learning Center, for companies and training centers: 199 a month on monthly billing, or 165 a month paid annually. It adds 10 admins, up to 500 GB of video hosting, multiple languages, an online store with memberships, a Moodle integration, API access, 1 hour of onboarding and premium support.

The pricing page offers "Prueba GRATIS 14 días. Sin tarjeta de crédito." (a 14-day free trial, no credit card). Plans can be changed at any time, an account can be put on standby, and a subscription can be canceled at any moment, since billing is a monthly plan subscription with no minimum term. A demo can be booked from every page.

Support, data and ownership

Support depends on the plan, from chat on Starter to live chat and email on Pro Trainer and premium support on Learning Center, and enterprise customers get a dedicated customer success team. The FAQ says hosting for the website, courses, videos and content is included in every plan, with security and backups handled on the company's European servers. The creator keeps full ownership of uploaded content and all related intellectual property rights, and only the creator has access to student data for sending communications. Further questions go to info@brainspro.com. The site also offers a downloadable tax guide for online academies that operate legally in Spain, and notes that the project is co-financed by the Junta de Andalucía through the RETECH program with European Union NextGenerationEU funds.

Two customers are quoted on the site. Ángel Bataller, Director de programas at Instituto Cudeca, says "Desde la primera demo, nos encantó la plataforma y la cercanía del equipo de soporte." (from the first demo we loved the platform and how close the support team was). Juan Mateo, Presidente of Storytelling, says "Fácil de usar y profesional, BrainsPro ha transformado la forma de llegar a mis clientes y de impartir mis cursos online" (easy to use and professional, BrainsPro has changed how I reach my clients and teach my online courses).

Who it suits

BrainsPro suits Spanish-speaking coaches, trainers and creators who want a branded academy with their own domain and app, built-in checkout through Stripe and no commission on sales, at a published monthly price. Training centers and companies in the FUNDAE system get the clearest fit, since FUNDAE reports come with the Pro Trainer plan and above, and the platform tracks course compliance and issues certificates to each employee. Larger organizations can use the Learning Center plan's API, Moodle integration and multi-language support, or the enterprise offer with SSO. The caveats are the admin and video-hosting limits on the lower plans and prices quoted before VAT.
