Updated
In short: Atlas is ranked #1 of 27 as of 4 October 2026, ahead of OpenCurriculum and Outcomap. The best-ranked option with a free plan is OpenCurriculum. The lowest first paid tier on this page is Sofia at £0.33/mo.
Keeping curriculum structures and related review work organized calls for comparing more than one kind of capability. These options are compared on approval workflow, curriculum exports, curriculum levels and version history; standards libraries and LMS integrations add further criteria. Check the listed free-plan availability and paid-from price for cost context. Atlas, OpenCurriculum and Outcomap are among the entries to examine, with Modern Campus CMS and CourseLoop also shown. Consider which curriculum levels your institution maintains, how approvals and revisions are handled, and whether exports, standards information or learning-system connections are relevant to your work.
