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.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is LearnWorlds Starter worth it with the per-sale fee?
Only at very low volume. Starter charges $5 on every course sale, which reaches $1,800 per year at 30 sales per month. The Pro Trainer upgrade costs $660 more per year and removes the fee entirely, so it pays for itself past about 11 sales per month. If you expect steady sales, skip Starter and start on Pro Trainer.
Which LearnWorlds plan gives me SCORM?
Pro Trainer includes 20 SCORM or multimedia uploads and Learning Center includes unlimited. Starter includes none. This is one of LearnWorlds' strongest points against Thinkific, which reserves SCORM for its quote-based Plus plan. Whichever tier you choose, test a real SCORM package in a demo, because publishing SCORM support is not the same as proving your specific package plays correctly.
How many client groups do I get per plan?
Starter includes 0 client groups, Pro Trainer includes 1, and Learning Center includes up to 10. Corporate is custom. Client groups are how LearnWorlds handles B2B seat selling inside one school. One corporate client fits Pro Trainer, a portfolio needs Learning Center. These are groups within a single school, not fully separate environments, so verify the separation you need in a demo.
When do I need Learning Center over Pro Trainer?
When you need full white label, unlimited SCORM, more than 5 admin seats, or more than one client group. Learning Center adds all four but does not raise the 2,000 monthly active learner cap. If your reason is only more learners rather than these capabilities, Learning Center will not help and you are heading toward a Corporate quote.
