Most platforms in this category send simulated phishing and track clicks. The differences that matter show up after the first campaign: what happens to the person who clicked, how much administration the programme needs, and whether the numbers you report to leadership go down over time.
Library or loop. Library-based tools give an administrator a large catalogue of templates and modules to schedule. Adaptive tools choose the next simulation and lesson for each person from their own results. PhishGrid is adaptive: simulate, measure, train, track.
Channels. Attackers use SMS, phone calls and QR codes as well as email. Check which channels are included and which are add-ons or higher tiers.
Report rate, not only click rate. A falling click rate can just mean easier tests. A rising report rate means people are spotting attacks and telling you.
Pricing model. Some vendors publish per-seat prices, some quote after a call, some are free open source you host yourself. PhishGrid publishes its plans and has a free plan, so you can run a real campaign before you buy.
Free. Forever.
