The KnowBe4 alternative built for small teams.
KnowBe4 defined enterprise security-awareness training — but small and mid-sized teams keep bumping into the same walls: quote-based pricing, annual contracts, a 25-seat minimum, and a platform that assumes you have a dedicated admin. phis3d is the alternative built the other way around: self-serve, transparently priced, and simple enough to launch your first test this afternoon.
KnowBe4 vs phis3d, side by side
KnowBe4 remains a solid choice for large organizations with a dedicated security function and the budget to match. If that's you, it may be the right fit. This page is for the smaller teams it wasn't built for.
What makes phis3d the right alternative
Self-serve, no sales call
Public per-employee pricing and a free baseline test. Swipe a card and launch your first campaign the same afternoon — no demo, no quote, no procurement.
Built for whoever's responsible, not a security team
Upload a CSV, pick a template, and send. There's no dedicated admin to hire and no multi-week configuration project before you see a number.
Email, SMS and voice in one place
Real attacks come by text and phone, not just email. phis3d runs realistic smishing and vishing simulations alongside email so you test how your team actually gets targeted.
A free baseline test that hands you the number
Run a free phishing test on up to 25 of your team and see your real click rate in about 48 hours. The number sells the fix better than any slide deck.
Frequently asked
- What is the best KnowBe4 alternative for a small business?
- For small and mid-sized teams that want simplicity and transparent pricing, phis3d is a strong KnowBe4 alternative: self-serve email, SMS and voice phishing simulations, a free baseline test on up to 25 people, and per-employee pricing with no annual contract or seat minimum.
- Is there a cheaper alternative to KnowBe4?
- phis3d publishes per-employee, per-month pricing with no seat minimum, so small teams typically pay only for the people they actually test — and can start with a free baseline test rather than a paid annual plan.

- Can I try phis3d before paying?
- Yes. You can run a free baseline phishing test on up to 25 of your team and see your real click rate in about 48 hours before deciding on a paid plan.
