The short answer
If you own security awareness and a KnowBe4 renewal is on your calendar, here is the verdict. Hoxhunt is the better platform if your program is judged on whether fewer people fall for real attacks and on how much of your team's time it takes to get there. KnowBe4 is the right call only if your program is judged on completing a broad compliance curriculum and you have the staff to run it. If you run the program for more than 1,000 employees, G2's enterprise reviewers have already settled it: Hoxhunt ranks first with a Satisfaction Score of 100, KnowBe4 fifth with 65.
KnowBe4 relaunched its training as AI-native in May 2026. That changed the language. It did not change three things you can check in your own tenant: an administrator still has to set up and run campaigns, the verdict back to the employee who reported an email still requires a separately priced product, and the outcome data is still completion and click rate. Everything below rests on those three, on the review scores and on the published outcomes, each with its date. If you are still mapping the whole field, start with our guide to the best security awareness training platforms.
Hoxhunt vs KnowBe4 in a nutshell
On G2, as of September 21, 2026, Hoxhunt holds 4.8 across 3,766 reviews and KnowBe4 Security Awareness Training holds 4.6 across 2,398 reviews.
| Category | Hoxhunt | KnowBe4 |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it day to day | Nobody, after rollout. Each employee gets simulations chosen for them by skill level, reporting history, role, language and live threat intelligence (Agentic Reasoning Engine). | Your administrator defines the plan and the campaigns: who receives what, when and how often. Since 2026, scheduling and assignment inside that plan can be automated (KnowBe4 phishing campaigns overview). |
| Where the simulations come from | Written per person by the Spear Phishing Agent, not drawn from a pool. | Template library plus generated templates, sent through campaigns your administrator sets up. |
| Channels | Email, Microsoft Teams, deepfake video and audio inside Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, and callback phishing with an AI voice agent, all in the adaptive program (Hoxhunt phishing training, Teams, deepfake, vishing). SMS simulations as a managed service, reported from the Hoxhunt iOS app. | Email, vishing and callback, USB and QR-code tests (KnowBe4 security awareness training). |
| When an employee reports a real email | One-click report in Outlook, Gmail, Teams and the iOS app. The employee gets the verdict back, 96% accuracy on malicious and more than 99% on safe, with the explanation, included in the adaptive training product. Analyst-queue automation and tenant-wide removal in about a minute are Hoxhunt Email Incident Response, a separate product. | In the training product, reports go to a mailbox or SIEM. The verdict back to the reporter, triage, clustering and removal are PhishER Plus, priced per seat (KnowBe4 pricing). |
| Training content | 300+ micro-modules with PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA and GDPR tracks; Content Studio turns your policies into lessons (Hoxhunt security awareness training). | Large library across two tiers, assigned by your administrator through training campaigns; compliance add-on. |
| Languages | 40+ user interface and training languages, 42 today, with AI translation for the training content you create. | 47+ stated on its product page. |
| LMS and courses | Training packages with deadlines and retakes; SCORM connector. | Training campaigns your administrator schedules, with completion tracking. |
| People without a work inbox | Expanded licenses for frontline staff, contractors, partners and board. | Per-seat licenses. |
| Repeat clickers | Faster simulation cadence automatically until they improve. | Remedial training assigned after a failed simulation. |
| What you measure | Reporting rate, time to report, failure-rate trend, department heatmaps, industry benchmark. | Phish-prone Percentage, risk score, completion. |
| Admin work after rollout | None for the adaptive program. Benchmark tests when you want a point-in-time check. | Campaign creation and refresh by your administrator. |
| Pricing | Priced on request; the demo call is where you get your number. | Published list prices on three-year terms up to 1,000 seats. |

Claims about Hoxhunt you may read elsewhere, checked
Other vendors' comparison pages describe an older Hoxhunt. Here is what is true today, with the source you can open.
| Claim you may read | What is true | Source |
|---|---|---|
| “Hoxhunt only does phishing simulations.” | 300+ training micro-modules with PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA and GDPR tracks, and since April 2026 Content Studio for AI-generated custom modules, training packages and a SCORM connector. | Hoxhunt security awareness training, Content Studio release note |
| “You cannot run a one-off phishing test on Hoxhunt.” | Benchmark phishing simulations run a chosen template against a chosen audience at a chosen time, alongside the adaptive program. | Benchmark phishing simulations |
| “Hoxhunt simulations are email only.” | Email, Microsoft Teams, deepfake video and audio inside Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, and callback phishing with an AI voice agent run in the adaptive program. SMS simulations are delivered as a managed service. | Hoxhunt phishing training, Teams, deepfake, vishing |
| “Hoxhunt cannot train people without a work inbox.” | Expanded licenses train frontline staff, contractors, partners and board members without a Hoxhunt account. | Expanded security awareness training |
| “Hoxhunt does not work with an LMS.” | The SCORM connector records training-package completions in your LMS while the training runs in Hoxhunt. | SCORM connector |
| “Reported emails just pile up for the security team.” | With Hoxhunt Email Incident Response, verdicts at 96% accuracy on malicious emails and more than 99% on safe ones, related reports grouped into one incident, whole-campaign removal in about a minute, and safe reports closed automatically with a confirmation to the employee. | Email incident response automation, safe classification |
| “Hoxhunt simulations come from a template library like everyone else's.” | The Agentic Reasoning Engine selects each simulation per employee from skill, history and live threat intelligence, and the Spear Phishing Agent generates unique simulations on the fly. | Agentic Reasoning Engine, Spear Phishing Agent |
| “Hoxhunt simulations get predictable for experienced employees.” | Difficulty moves per person, per result. High performers receive harder, subtler lures automatically, and the Spear Phishing Agent writes each one rather than reusing a pool. | Agentic Reasoning Engine, Spear Phishing Agent |
| “Gamification makes people report carelessly to score points.” | Points reward correct reports of simulations and real threats. A report on a safe email returns a verdict that it was safe, with the explanation. Real-threat detection rises from 13% to 71% of employees across the training curve. | Safe classification, Threat Analyst Agent, Hoxhunt Phishing Trends Report 2026, p. 39 |
| “Feedback after a simulation is shallow.” | Every verdict, on a simulation or a real email, comes with a plain-language explanation of why it was malicious or safe, to the employee and to the analyst. | Threat Analyst Agent |
| “The dashboards are basic.” | Reporting rate, time to report and failure-rate trend by department and region, exportable, with an industry benchmark. | Hoxhunt phishing training |
Which one fits your organization
The right answer depends less on company size than on who owns the program and what it is measured on. Find your row.
| Your situation | Hoxhunt | KnowBe4 |
|---|---|---|
| Security team of one to three people, nobody owns awareness full time | Runs on its own after rollout. Simulations are chosen and delivered automatically, so nobody builds campaigns. | Workable if your administrator owns campaign creation and refresh, which is the recurring theme in its reviews. |
| Under 1,000 employees | The same adaptive model regardless of size. | List pricing covers this band; see the cost section below. |
| 1,000 to 10,000 or more employees, distributed or multilingual | Simulations adapt automatically to each user by role, language and behavior. Nothing is configured per group. G2 enterprise reviewers rank Hoxhunt #1 with a Satisfaction Score of 100. | A large module library in 47+ languages on its product page. Segmentation is configured per group by administrators. G2 enterprise reviewers rank KnowBe4 #5 with a Satisfaction Score of 65. |
| Regulated industry with audit reporting requirements | Exportable participation, simulation and engagement reports. Compliance tracks for PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA and GDPR in Content Studio, and completion tracking through training packages. | A broad compliance module library with completion tracking. This is the row where KnowBe4 is the safe choice if breadth of curriculum is the requirement. |
| Microsoft 365 estate | Native Outlook, Teams and Defender integration, a one-click report button, and phishing simulations inside Teams. | Integrations exist. Reviewers describe them as pull-based and needing build work on your side. |
| Program past year one with flat engagement | Voluntary, gamified participation with instant feedback is the core model. | Completion-driven. Refreshing campaigns and content is what keeps engagement up, and that is administrator work. |
The bottom line
Choose Hoxhunt when the program is measured on whether fewer people fall for real attacks and on the hours your team spends. Choose KnowBe4 only when it is measured on completing a broad compliance curriculum and you have the staff to run it.
What reviewers say
Four review platforms rate both products. Before you weigh the scores, look at the review counts next to them: they differ by an order of magnitude between platforms.
| Source, September 21, 2026 | Hoxhunt | KnowBe4 |
|---|---|---|
| G2 | 4.8 out of 5 (3,766 reviews) | 4.6 out of 5 (2,398 reviews) |
| Gartner Peer Insights | 4.8 out of 5 (1,512 reviews) | 4.6 out of 5 (2,456 reviews) |
| Capterra | 4.9 out of 5 (338 reviews) | 4.7 out of 5 (27 reviews) |
| TrustRadius | 8.9 out of 10 (143 ratings) | 9.0 out of 10 (1,168 ratings) |
On TrustRadius, Hoxhunt scores 9.8 for individualized training plans and security reporting and 9.7 for gamification and multilingual content, against 8.1, 8.6 and 7.4 for KnowBe4. Likelihood to recommend is 9.3 for Hoxhunt and 9.1 for KnowBe4. The themes in Hoxhunt's reviews, and the ones you will hear on your own reference calls: it runs itself, people report more, and training does not feel like homework.
Hoxhunt is not ahead on everything. KnowBe4 edges the overall TrustRadius score, 9.0 against 8.9, on a review base eight times larger, and reviewers who want a very large general compliance library note that Hoxhunt's is narrower. KnowBe4's criticism clusters around campaign upkeep and the lack of feedback to the people who report.
Which is rated higher on G2 in the enterprise segment?
Hoxhunt, and by a wide margin. G2 ranks the security awareness training category by a Satisfaction Score built from verified reviewers' ratings. Filter that ranking to enterprise reviewers, organizations with more than 1,000 employees, and Hoxhunt is first with a score of 100. KnowBe4 is fifth with 65. Hoxhunt is above the enterprise average on all six ratings G2 collects; KnowBe4 is below it on all six.
| G2 rating, enterprise reviewers, out of 10 | Hoxhunt | KnowBe4 | Enterprise average |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ease of Setup | 9.7 | 8.9 | 9.2 |
| Ease of Use | 9.8 | 9.1 | 9.4 |
| Ease of Admin | 9.6 | 9.1 | 9.2 |
| Meets Requirements | 9.7 | 9.2 | 9.4 |
| Quality of Support | 9.6 | 9.2 | 9.5 |
| Ease of Doing Business With | 9.7 | 9.5 | 9.6 |
| Satisfaction Score and rank | 100, #1 | 65, #5 | 26 listings |
The two widest gaps are Ease of Setup and Ease of Admin. Those are the two ratings that describe what running the platform feels like for your administrator, and they are the ones your team will feel in year two.
Across all company sizes the ranking holds and the gap narrows: Hoxhunt is first with 99, KnowBe4 second with 91, and Hoxhunt sits 0.1 below the category average on Quality of Support and Ease of Doing Business With while KnowBe4 is below average on all six. On the G2 head-to-head page, KnowBe4 scores higher on Product Direction, 9.5 against 9.3. Of Hoxhunt's 3,766 reviews, 91% are five stars; of KnowBe4's 2,398, 81% are (Hoxhunt reviews, KnowBe4 reviews, read on September 22, 2026).
Who decides what each employee gets
In KnowBe4, an administrator creates a campaign: who receives it, which content or templates, when and how often (KnowBe4 phishing campaigns overview). Since the 2026 relaunch, template selection per user, send scheduling and remedial training after a failure can be automated inside the plan your administrator defines. The plan, its audiences and its goals are still your administrator's to write and to change.
In Hoxhunt there is no campaign. Each employee receives a simulation about every 10 days, chosen for that person from skill level, reporting history, role, language and live threat intelligence, and written by the Spear Phishing Agent rather than drawn from a pool (Hoxhunt Phishing Trends Report 2026, p. 39). Difficulty moves per person, per result. Repeat clickers get a faster cadence until they improve. Nobody schedules it.
The test for your pilot: leave both consoles untouched for 30 days and count what each employee received, and how different it was from the person next to them.
What happens when an employee reports a real email
This is the question that decides most renewals, and it comes down to what the employee gets back without buying a second product.
In KnowBe4's training product, a reported email goes to a mailbox or your SIEM. The verdict back to the employee who reported, triage, clustering and removal from other inboxes are PhishER Plus, a separate product with its own per-seat price (KnowBe4 pricing). Real-Time Coaching, part of the 2026 platform, sends tips when it detects risky behavior through integrations; it is not a verdict on the email your employee just reported.
In Hoxhunt's adaptive training product, the employee who reports a real email gets the verdict back automatically, at 96% accuracy on malicious emails and more than 99% on safe ones, and since October 2025 the Threat Analyst Agent explains in plain language why a malicious email was malicious. Since June 2026, safe classification confirms to the employee that a reported email was safe. That is included; nobody on your team has to act for the employee to hear back. The security-team side is a separate product on both sides: Hoxhunt Email Incident Response groups related reports into one incident, closes safe reports automatically and can remove a confirmed campaign from every inbox in about a minute, where KnowBe4 sells PhishER Plus. Suspicious texts reported from the Hoxhunt iOS app land in the same queue.
Why it matters for engagement: people who report and hear nothing stop reporting. In Hoxhunt the feedback to the employee comes with the training. In KnowBe4 it is an add-on you buy, or a workflow you build.
How much data each platform gives you to show leadership
Completion rate proves training happened. Reporting rate, time to report and the failure-rate trend prove it worked. How much data sits behind those numbers is where the two platforms separate.
The Hoxhunt Phishing Trends Report 2026 illustrates it with a 10,000-person company: a traditional program at 10% engagement and four simulations a year produces about 4,000 data points; a behavior-change program at 50% engagement and 36 simulations a year produces about 180,000 (p. 33). One gives you attendance. The other gives you a trend by department, by role and by person.
AI-assisted campaign building does not change the arithmetic. A campaign calendar still decides how often each person is tested; in Hoxhunt every person is tested continuously, on their own rhythm. The threat side has already moved: AI-generated phishing went from 4% to 56% of attacks reported across the Hoxhunt network over the 2025 holiday season (Hoxhunt Phishing Trends Report 2026, p. 4). A quarterly campaign has no answer to that.
What results each vendor publishes
Hoxhunt publishes its curves. Real-threat detection rises from 13% of employees at month zero to 71% over the training curve, and employees recognize and report social engineering attacks with a 6× improvement within six months.

Named customers, with the scope of each number:
- Swisscom, 23,000 employees, deployed in under a month: 86% of employees actively use the report button, failure rate from 15% to below 2%.
- Celonis, about 3,000 employees, Munich: reporting rate above 60%, failure rate from 12% to under 2%.
- Qualcomm: failure rates improved by a factor of six across the organization; among the riskiest 1,000 employees, simulated malicious clicks fell nearly tenfold.
- Uber runs the program for 25,000+ users with a two-person team. Bird & Bird moved from one campaign a quarter to 36 simulations a year without adding headcount.
KnowBe4 publishes a Phish-prone Percentage benchmark by industry. It does not publish a per-person reporting curve, and its 2026 relaunch is four months old, so the reviews you will read about it describe the campaign-based product. Ask both vendors for the same two numbers from a tenant like yours: reporting rate on real threats at 12 months, and median time to report. Put them next to your own numbers from last year.
How much administrator time it takes after year one
Year one is easy on both platforms; the rollout team is engaged and the content is new. Year two is where the cost shows.
In KnowBe4, by its own documentation, an administrator picks templates, assigns groups and schedules the sends (KnowBe4 phishing campaigns overview). Since 2026 those campaigns can be built and scheduled faster. The campaign is still the thing your administrator owns, refreshes and answers for when engagement dips.
Hoxhunt is built to be delegated. After rollout, simulations go out about every 10 days and adapt per person without anyone selecting templates or assigning groups (Hoxhunt Phishing Trends Report 2026, p. 39). When you want a point-in-time check, benchmark phishing simulations run a chosen template against a chosen audience without touching the adaptive program. Training packages schedule courses with deadlines and retakes, and the SCORM connector records completions in your LMS.
Log the hours your team spends on each platform during the pilot. That number decides this section for you, and it is the number KnowBe4's relaunch is asking you not to measure.
Will employees still engage in year two
When training runs as campaigns, engagement depends on enforcement and novelty: completion deadlines, HR reminders, new templates your administrator loads. Both fade. Reviewers of KnowBe4 describe the pattern as training that feels like a task to get through (KnowBe4 reviews on G2).
Hoxhunt's model is voluntary participation with instant feedback: every report earns a verdict and points, and streaks and leaderboards are tied to reporting real threats, not to module completion. On TrustRadius, Hoxhunt scores 9.7 for gamification against 7.4 for KnowBe4 (September 21, 2026). Uber's training completion went from 60% to over 90% on Hoxhunt. The 13% to 71% real-threat detection curve above is what your year two looks like when people keep reporting.
How each one fits a Microsoft 365 estate
Hoxhunt was built for Microsoft 365 from day one: native Outlook, Defender, Entra and Teams integration, one report button with the same behavior on desktop, web and mobile, simulations delivered inside Microsoft Teams with the native Teams report button, and deepfake video and audio simulations in the collaboration tools your employees already use (Microsoft Teams phishing training, deepfake training). Reported real threats appear in the Hoxhunt threat feed and, with Email Incident Response, route to your SOC and SIEM as structured events.
KnowBe4 integrates with Microsoft 365 and with many SIEM and helpdesk tools. Reviewers describe the integrations as pull-based and needing build work on your side, and the report button experience as varying by client (G2 and TrustRadius reviews, September 2026). Feedback to the reporter through Slack or Teams depends on PhishER Plus or your own middleware.
What Hoxhunt shipped in 2026
If you last evaluated Hoxhunt more than a year ago, start here. In April Hoxhunt shipped Content Studio: 300+ micro-modules, compliance tracks for PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA and GDPR, an AI Content Generator that turns your own policies into lessons in minutes, an AI Image Generator and a Theme Editor for your brand.
In June it added safe classification, which confirms to your employee that a reported email was safe and, with Email Incident Response, keeps those reports out of the analyst queue. The Threat Analyst Agent, in the employee feedback since October 2025, explains in plain language why a malicious email was malicious. The Spear Phishing Agent went multilingual in June and the Agentic Reasoning Engine was updated in July.
Your simulations now also run in Microsoft Teams, as deepfake video and audio inside Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, and as callback phishing with an AI voice agent. Your employees can report suspicious texts from the Hoxhunt iOS app, training packages report completions to your LMS over SCORM, and expanded licenses cover your frontline staff and contractors.
KnowBe4 relaunched its training in May 2026 with AI-assisted content creation and campaign scheduling (KnowBe4, May 2026). The way it is run did not change: your administrator still sets up and owns campaigns, and automated triage of reported emails is still a separately priced product.
Is it worth the premium?
You are asking what is measurably different and whether you can defend the line at renewal. Three numbers do that work: reporting rate, time to report, and the failure-rate trend.
KnowBe4 publishes list prices. As of May 2026, on a three-year term in US dollars, its Foundation tier runs from $2.40 per user per month at 25 to 50 seats down to $1.63 at 501 to 1,000 seats, and Advanced from $3.75 down to $2.79; above 1,000 seats it quotes (KnowBe4 pricing page). PhishER Plus is priced separately. Hoxhunt prices on request; the demo call is where you get the number for your organization.
The bottom line
Compare the two on cost per measured outcome for your organization and include the administrator hours each model needs, because that is where your totals diverge.
What switching from KnowBe4 actually takes
Less than you expect, and switching effort is the usual reason a KnowBe4 renewal gets signed anyway. There are no campaigns to rebuild and no templates to upload, user groups are not segmented by hand, and the report button deploys in one click across Microsoft 365. Onboarding handles integration, communications and training. Swisscom was fully deployed in under a month. If you also run PhishER Plus, our guide to switching from KnowBe4 PhishER to Hoxhunt email incident response covers that side of the migration.
You are 60 days from renewal: how to decide
Do not decide on a demo alone. If you are choosing for the first time rather than renewing, run the same pilot against your shortlist.
- Run both platforms side by side for 60 days on a comparable slice of your organization.
- Measure four things: reporting rate on simulations, time to report, the failure-rate trend, and administrator hours.
- Ask the incumbent for the same four numbers from your last year, and ask both vendors what a verdict on a real reported email looks like and how long it takes to reach the person who reported it.
- Put the numbers next to the renewal quote.

Hoxhunt vs KnowBe4 FAQ
Is KnowBe4 still a manual platform in 2026?
Less than it was. Since May 2026 its training ships with AI-assisted content creation and campaign scheduling. The model is still campaign-based and owned by an administrator, so the question is how many hours it removes, which only a pilot on your own tenant answers.
Which is the better fit for a lean security team?
Hoxhunt. It runs without campaign building after rollout, and reported emails are triaged automatically with feedback to the person who reported. The pilot metric that settles it is administrator hours.
Does Hoxhunt lack anything KnowBe4 has?
KnowBe4's content library is larger and reaches into general topics such as physical security and HR-led ethics training, and it publishes list prices. What is no longer true is that Hoxhunt is phishing only: since April 2026, Content Studio ships 300+ micro-modules with compliance tracks, an AI Content Generator for your own policies, training packages with completion tracking, a SCORM connector and expanded licenses for frontline staff, so a second compliance LMS is optional.
Does KnowBe4 give employees feedback when they report a real email?
Not in the training product. Reports go to a mailbox or SIEM, and the verdict back to the reporter is PhishER Plus, priced separately. Hoxhunt's adaptive training product returns the verdict to the employee with an explanation, at 96% accuracy on malicious emails and more than 99% on safe ones; analyst-side automation and removal are Hoxhunt Email Incident Response, a separate product.
Where does Cofense fit in a Hoxhunt vs KnowBe4 comparison?
Cofense enters most three-way shortlists through PhishMe, its simulation-based awareness training product. On its public product pages, Cofense packages phishing training and phishing detection and remediation as separate offerings, which suits SOC-led programs that already own triage tooling. Hoxhunt combines simulation, reporting and automated response feedback in a single loop, while KnowBe4 sells response tooling separately. Compare current ratings and review volume in G2's security awareness training category and validate the response workflow during a pilot.
Is Hoxhunt or KnowBe4 rated higher on G2?
Hoxhunt. Across all company sizes it holds 4.8 out of 5 on 3,766 reviews against KnowBe4's 4.6 on 2,398, and G2's Satisfaction Score ranks it first in the category with 99 against 91. Among enterprise reviewers, organizations with more than 1,000 employees, Hoxhunt is first with 100 and KnowBe4 fifth with 65, and Hoxhunt leads on all six ratings G2 collects. The one rating where KnowBe4 scores higher is Product Direction, 9.5 against 9.3.
Will auditors and regulators accept Hoxhunt?
Yes. Hoxhunt meets the standard regulatory requirements for security awareness training, including GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001, and provides exportable reports for training participation, phishing simulation results and user engagement. The extra evidence you can put next to it is reporting rate and time to report on real threats, which completion tracking alone cannot show.
