LearnWorlds is a platform for building online courses under your own brand, with a course player, quizzes, certificates, and payments. It helps an organization that trains volunteers or partners in a structured way, or sells training programs as earned income, under its own identity rather than a general marketplace.
Key features
- Branded course site: not under another platform’s name.
- Interactive video player: quizzes, assignments, and completion certificates.
- Built-in payments: sell courses directly.
- Bundles and subscriptions.
- Marketing tools: including affiliate programs.
Pricing
The entry plan commonly starts around $29 to $39 a month billed annually, with transaction fees on sales. Higher tiers reduce or remove fees and add white-labeling and deeper reporting.
Prices change over time. Figures above are based on LearnWorlds’ own pricing page.

LearnWorlds vs Udemy

Who LearnWorlds is for
Organizations that regularly train volunteers or partners, or sell training programs as earned income.
Who should skip it
