1. Recommended Pricing Plans
Even before delving into the details, based on my experience, the best pricing plan is:
the “Pro Trainer Plan” with an annual subscription.
Here’s a quick table outlining the pros and cons of each pricing plan.
I’d like you to refer back to this table after reading the following sections.
The Starter Plan is ideal for those who are just getting started, want to test the platform, launch their first course, or validate a product idea.
However, as the number of learners grows and more sophisticated training becomes essential, the Starter Plan may not fully meet all your needs due to its feature limitations.
Most users of the Starter Plan eventually transition to the Pro Trainer Plan.
On the other hand, the Learning Center Plan is not bad but tends to be somewhat expensive and may feel “too much” at the initial stages of running an online course.
The plan is specifically designed for large-scale online schools.
The Pro Trainer Plan offers the best balance between features and cost.
Below is a quadrant analysis using two axes: “feature limitations” and “price.”
You’ll likely find that, from a cost-effectiveness standpoint, the Pro Trainer Plan excels.
2. How to Review Pricing Plans
Let’s first discuss how to check the available pricing plans for LearnWorlds.
The official website provides four different options:
Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center, and High Volume & Corporate.

Source : LearnWorlds official website | https://www.learnworlds.com/pricing/
From left to right, the plans are named Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center, and High Volume & Corporate.
The High Volume & Corporate plan details are available upon individual consultation, leaving us with three practical choices.
Firstly, on the screenshot above, as the “Yearly” toggle button is selected, the displayed prices are the equivalent monthly rates when you commit to a one-year subscription, paid upfront.
In other words, the annual total amounts would be:
- Starter : $24 × 12 = $288
- Pro Trainer : $79 × 12 = $948
- Learning Center : $249 × 12 = $2,988
Now, if you toggle the button to “Monthly,” you’ll observe an increase in monthly charges for each plan.
The monthly option is roughly 20% more expensive than paying for a year upfront.
If you anticipate ceasing to use LearnWorlds within a few months, it might make sense to opt for the more expensive, monthly-billed plan.
However, if you plan to use it for over ten months, going with the “Yearly” option is a smarter choice.
It will not only save money but will also encourage a long-term commitment to your online courses and sales activities.
Additionally, regardless of which plan you choose, a 30-day free trial is available.
Although some features like billing options are restricted during this period, nearly all functionalities required for course creation are accessible.
You get ample time to assess whether LearnWorlds is the right platform for you.
Plus, initiating the 30-day free trial doesn’t require any credit card information, thus significantly reducing user risk.
For the length of the subscription, opting for the “Yearly” plan would be a prudent decision.
