Pricing and fees
LearnWorlds plan comparison: Starter to Corporate
LearnWorlds Starter ($24 per month on annual billing) hides a trap: a $5 fee on every course sale. Pro Trainer ($79) drops that fee, adds 20 SCORM uploads and a client group. Learning Center ($249) brings full white label, unlimited SCORM and up to 10 client groups. Corporate is custom pricing. Sales volume, SCORM and client groups decide your tier.
The four plans at a glance
LearnWorlds is the platform to beat on accessible SCORM and client groups. The tiers move on monthly active learner caps, admin seats, SCORM quotas and client groups.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Admins | Fees | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29/mo | $24/mo | 1 | $5 per course sale | custom domain; core course builder; no free courses |
| Pro Trainer | $99/mo | $79/mo | 5 | No platform fee | no per-sale fee; unlimited free courses; 20 SCORM or multimedia uploads |
| Learning Center | $299/mo | $249/mo | 25 | No platform fee | full white label; unlimited SCORM uploads; up to 10 client groups |
| Corporate | Custom pricing | Custom pricing | custom | No platform fee | custom contract; custom groups and seats |
The mobile app is a paid add-on on every plan, so leave it out of the base comparison and price it separately if you need it.
The Starter fee that forces the upgrade
Starter looks cheap at $24 per month on annual billing, but it charges $5 on every course sale. Do the math on your own volume before you commit. At 30 sales per month, that is $150 per month, or $1,800 per year in fees alone.
Compare that to the upgrade. Moving from Starter to Pro Trainer costs $55 more per month on annual billing ($79 versus $24), which is $660 per year. So once you clear roughly 11 course sales per month, the $5 fee has already cost more than the upgrade would, and Pro Trainer takes no per-sale fee at all. If you sell more than a handful of courses a month, Starter is a false economy.
What forces Pro Trainer and Learning Center
- Admin seats: Starter includes 1 admin, Pro Trainer 5, Learning Center 25. A small team already forces Pro Trainer.
- SCORM: Starter includes 0 SCORM packages, Pro Trainer 20, Learning Center unlimited. If you deliver compliance or vendor-authored SCORM content, Starter is out and your catalog size decides between Pro Trainer and Learning Center.
- Client groups: 0 on Starter, 1 on Pro Trainer, up to 10 on Learning Center. Client groups let you sell and manage seats for several companies inside one school. One B2B client fits Pro Trainer, a portfolio of them needs Learning Center.
- White label: only from Learning Center. If removing the LearnWorlds brand entirely is non-negotiable, Learning Center is your floor.
Monthly active learner caps run 1,000 on Starter, 2,000 on Pro Trainer, 2,000 on Learning Center, and custom on Corporate. Note that Learning Center does not raise the learner cap over Pro Trainer: you pay for admins, SCORM, groups and white label, not for more learners. Above 2,000 active learners you are in a Corporate conversation.
When Corporate is the honest answer
Corporate is custom pricing, so we never put a number on it. You reach it when you cross the 2,000 active learner cap, need more than 10 client groups, or want custom admin and group counts. Single sign-on terms are not itemized by plan on the public pricing page, so confirm SSO protocols, limits and cost in writing before you rely on them.
For client groups and separation specifically, read what is actually separate on the white label versus client portals page. For the direct comparison, see Thinkific vs LearnWorlds.
