 There are a wide range of pricing options for learning management systems, but most fall into one of three pricing models. Let's discuss each one. Flat fee pricing. In this license fee or subscription model, you pay a flat fee on a monthly or annual basis for an unlimited number of users. Examples include Teachable and Thinkific. Pay Per Registered User. In this pricing model, you pay for those users who are registered in your system, regardless of whether they take a course that month or not. In many cases, users can only be deleted at the end of the year, not each month. LMS systems that charge per registered user include Talent LMS and Canvas. Pay Per Active User. Here, you only pay for those users who actually take a course from you that month, regardless of how many people are registered in your LMS system. Examples include Talent LMS, iSpring, and Litmus. Keep in mind that even open source platforms like Moodle and WordPress's Learn Dash technically don't have a cost per user, but because eLearning course pages don't cash online, you'll need robust web hosting with these platforms, which will be based on traffic. In most cases in the world of LMS systems, the more learners you have, the more you're going to pay for the platform. So don't forget to consider the ongoing annual cost of your LMS system.
