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 typically pay around $XXX per active user annually, which includes enterprise-grade hosting, full support, and unlimited access to our migration and onboarding services. That means a college with 10,000 active users would pay roughly $XXX per year- that’s often less than half of what other LMS vendors charge.
By comparison, Canvas, Blackboard Learn, and D2L Brightspace frequently range from $8 to $10+ per active user annually, pushing the cost for that same institution to $80,000 - $100,000 or more each year and these contracts often come with vendor lock-in. Even self-hosted Moodle™ can cost more once you factor in IT staffing, hardware, maintenance, and downtime risks. With Open LMS, you get a fully managed, scalable solution without the overheads or restrictions, so you can invest more of your budget into faculty development, student support, and innovation.
