Overview

Gloat and Degreed are both used for Skills Intelligence & Talent Mobility, but they take different approaches to the problem. If you want the broader category picture first, see our Skills Intelligence & Talent Mobility category page — this page goes deeper on the head-to-head.

Pricing Compared

Gloat starts at Custom / Contact sales while Degreed starts at Custom / Enterprise — compare both against your team size and required tier before assuming either is cheaper in practice. Beyond the headline number, weigh what's actually included at each tier — a lower starting price is only a genuine advantage if the entry tier covers what your team needs on day one.

What Each One Actually Solves

Gloat's core strength is "AI-driven dynamic skill mapping." Reviewers point to "4.4/5 G2 rating, with 88.2% of reviews from enterprise-level customers" as a standout reason teams choose it, though: No published pricing anywhere, and the small G2 review count (34) reflects its specialized, enterprise-only niche rather than broad-market adoption

Degreed's core strength is "Skills intelligence and skills-graph mapping." Reviewers point to "4.3/5 G2 rating from 42 reviews" as a standout reason teams choose it, though: No transparent public pricing -- subscription cost varies by user count and features selected

Who Each Is Actually For

Gloat's own positioning: "Large enterprises wanting to surface internal mobility, gigs, and skills-based opportunities to employees." Degreed's own positioning: "Large enterprises wanting skills data tied directly to learning content and internal mobility." If your team's priorities line up more with one description than the other, that's a stronger signal than price alone.

Our Verdict

If "Large enterprises wanting to surface internal mobility, gigs, and skills-based opportunities to employees" describes your situation, Gloat is the more directly-targeted option. If "Large enterprises wanting skills data tied directly to learning content and internal mobility" describes your situation instead, Degreed is the better starting point. Both are legitimate, actively-used products in Skills Intelligence & Talent Mobility — the right choice depends on which of the two fit-descriptions above actually matches your team, not on which is more well-known. This verdict is based on publicly available research, not first-hand, hands-on testing of either platform.
