Frequently asked questions
What does LearnWorlds cost, and what is the entry price?
Plans are tiered: Starter is $24/month billed annually (about $288/year) with a $5 fee per paid enrollment, 1,000 active learners, 1 admin and 300 AI credits; Pro Trainer is $79/month annually (2,000 learners, 5 admins, 500 credits, no enrollment fees); Learning Center is $249/month annually (about $2,988/year) with white-label, 25 admins and 1,000 credits; Corporate is custom. A 30-day trial is offered, prices exclude VAT, and add-ons cover extra emails, extra AI credits and a branded mobile app.
How long does it take to launch, and is migration hard?
LearnWorlds is self-serve: 50+ designer-made templates, no-code site building and a 30-day trial let most teams publish a first course in about one to two weeks, and customer stories cite academies launched in seven days. Migration is supported with instructions and tools, and a done-for-you premium migration service is available on request for customers moving off Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable, Podia, Moodle, LearnDash or Skilljar.
Can we use it for employee, customer and partner training rather than selling courses?
Yes. The vendor states LearnWorlds supports employee training and customer education without selling courses, and it markets segments for internal L&D, customer education, partner enablement and training providers. Relevant capabilities include client groups on the Learning Center plan, certifications, SCORM and LTI 1.3, SSO/SAML, custom roles, automations and scheduled reporting.
What AI is included, and how is it billed?
LearnWorlds AI is listed as included on every plan, with monthly credit allowances of 300 (Starter), 500 (Pro Trainer), 1,000 (Learning Center) and custom on Corporate; extra AI credits are sold as an add-on. Documented uses include generating course outlines, ebooks, assessments, pages, funnels, emails, images and translations from uploaded or existing academy content, with structure preview, section-level refinement and brand tone guidelines.
What security and compliance certifications does LearnWorlds hold?
The vendor security page documents platform controls such as 2FA, email verification, reCAPTCHA v3, password-strength rules and signup approval, and the product supports SSO/SAML and GDPR-related settings; but no source claims SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP or CMMC certification. The privacy policy states that data obtained through third-party integrations is not used to train generalized AI or ML models, and the vendor says it processes data under EU data-protection frameworks.
How well does it fit our existing stack?
LearnWorlds reports 50+ native integrations and 3,000-6,000+ tools reachable through automation. Notable connectors include HubSpot, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Zendesk and Freshchat, plus SAML/SSO, Google Analytics, Zapier, Make, an extended API and webhooks for custom workflows. Administrators should verify the specific connector and data flow they need before committing.
