Transparent Pricing: Know What You're Paying For

We believe pricing should be clear, predictable, and free from hidden fees or surprise renewals. With Open LMS, institutions benefit from a transparent, per-active-user model that includes enterprise-grade hosting, full support, and unlimited access to our migration and onboarding services. This approach often results in significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to other LMS vendors—frequently costing institutions less than half of what traditional platforms charge, without sacrificing quality, flexibility, or control.

  • Integration-Ready: Connect easily with your SIS, video conferencing, proctoring, and other tools you already use.
  • Scalable & Future-Proof: Serve 2,000 learners or 200,000. Open LMS scales with your needs.
