See exactly how MYCPE ONE and Lumiq stack up across 80+ features that matter most to CPA and accounting firms.
The two platforms use different pricing structures, so comparing only their per-seat platform fees does not provide a complete cost picture.
MYCPE ONE offers a per-seat subscription starting at $199 per user per year. This subscription bundles the learning platform, CPE compliance management, unlimited support, and MYCPE ONE's extensive course catalog into one package.
LumiQ also uses a per-seat model, with reported pricing roughly in the range of $299–$499 per user per year. Its Lite plan provides 20 CPE credits annually, while the Pro plan offers unlimited credits. LumiQ's content is primarily podcast-style interviews and video conversations.
Key difference: MYCPE ONE's per-seat price ($199/year) combines the platform and a large built-in learning catalog, whereas LumiQ's pricing ($299–$499/year) is centered around its podcast-based CPE library. Accounting firms should compare the total cost for their required number of users and desired content, not just the headline per-seat platform fee.
Note: Some third-party comparisons list LumiQ's annual fee as high as $899/user, but the most commonly cited figures are in the $299–$499 range depending on the plan and volume discounts.
MYCPE ONE offers a 30-day free trial with a self-service signup option. Accounting firms can register and evaluate the platform before subscribing. This allows teams to explore the course catalog, team learning, CPE compliance management, and other capabilities first-hand.
LumiQ provides trial options for teams. According to LumiQ's help centre, there is a dedicated team trial process, and firms can also request a demo through its sales team.
Important distinction: MYCPE ONE gives firms immediate, self-service access through a 30-day trial, while LumiQ's evaluation process leans more toward a team-trial or sales-led demonstration.
This is not a direct "library size" comparison, because MYCPE ONE and LumiQ follow fundamentally different content models.
MYCPE ONE provides its own extensive learning catalog with 15,000+ hours of content across 500+ subject areas. Firms receive access to this learning content alongside the LMS and CPE compliance-management capabilities, creating a more integrated learning and compliance ecosystem. MYCPE ONE also allows accounting firms to host and manage their proprietary training content, and eligible internally developed programs may be reviewed for CPE credit (subject to NASBA and other regulatory requirements).
LumiQ is primarily a podcast-style CPE platform offering 1,000+ episodes of audio and video content. Its content is delivered as interview-based podcasts, scripted case-study podcasts, and video conversations covering technical topics, soft skills, and professional development. Episodes feature industry experts from companies such as Nike, Google, and Microsoft.
Key difference: MYCPE ONE combines a massive built-in CPE catalog (15,000+ hours), an LMS, compliance tools, and support for firm-created CPE programs. LumiQ focuses on a curated library of podcast and video episodes (1,000+) designed for convenient, engaging on-the-go learning.
The distinction here is important: being available on a learning platform does not automatically mean that every piece of content qualifies for CPE credit.
MYCPE ONE provides courses recognized by NASBA, IRS, CFP Board, SHRM, HRCI, and 25+ other regulatory and professional bodies, depending on the individual course, credential, jurisdiction, and applicable requirements. All 15,000+ hours of MYCPE ONE's CPE content are NASBA-approved and accepted in all states.
LumiQ is a registered CPE sponsor with NASBA and is also recognized by the IRS, CFP Board, CTEC, NYSED, TXCPA, HRCI, and SHRM. Its 1,000+ podcast episodes are approved for CPE credit by these leading bodies.
Key difference: Both platforms are widely recognized by major regulators. MYCPE ONE offers a much broader volume of approved content (15,000+ hours) across many formats, while LumiQ delivers a focused library of approved podcasts and videos (1,000+ episodes). Both are valid CPE solutions, but they differ significantly in breadth and delivery format.
MYCPE ONE provides dedicated mobile apps for both iOS and Android, giving professionals the flexibility to access learning content and manage CPE activities from their mobile devices in addition to the web platform.
LumiQ also offers dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android. Its apps support offline listening, allowing professionals to learn and earn CPE credits while commuting, exercising, running errands, or traveling.
Key difference: Both platforms have mobile apps for iOS and Android. MYCPE ONE's app supports multiple learning formats (live, on-demand, audio, video, e-books), whereas LumiQ's app is optimized for its podcast and video content with offline playback. For firms with professionals who prefer mobile-first learning or are frequently away from their desks, both offer convenient access.
