The WordPress LMS for courses on your site
LearnDash is the leading WordPress LMS, letting course creators, educators, and businesses build and sell online courses directly on their own WordPress site with full control over branding, content, and data. Available as a plugin for self-hosted WordPress or as the fully hosted LearnDash Cloud, it powers everything from single-instructor courses to large training operations.
The platform provides a drag-and-drop course builder, quizzes, certificates, drip content, prerequisites, engagement triggers, ProPanel analytics, and an AI course outline builder, with free integrations for WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, and Zapier to sell and monetize courses. Because it runs on WordPress, creators own their platform and data and can extend it with the vast WordPress ecosystem.
LearnDash offers the plugin at 199 dollars per year for one site, 399 dollars for up to ten sites, and 799 dollars for unlimited sites - all with the same features and unlimited courses and students - plus LearnDash Cloud (hosted) from around 29 dollars per month billed annually (roughly 348 to 948 dollars per year), with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Aimed at course creators and businesses on WordPress, it competes with Teachable, Thinkific, LearnWorlds, Kajabi, and Podia.
