Common questions
Pricing FAQ
Is Free really free, with no hidden limits?
Yes. Free includes unlimited courses, lessons, and enrolled students, plus Stripe and PayPal checkout, membership plans, quizzes, certificates, and the instructor commission system. It is a complete LMS, not a crippled trial. A solo creator or small academy can run on Free indefinitely.
Do I need WooCommerce to sell courses?
No. Learnomy runs fully standalone with built-in Stripe and PayPal direct checkout, and Action Scheduler is bundled so subscriptions and renewals work without any extra plugin. WooCommerce is available as an optional gateway if you already use it, but it’s never required.
What is the difference between annual and lifetime pricing?
Annual pricing covers one year of updates and support. Lifetime is a one-time payment that covers updates and support with no renewal. Both give you the same Pro features; the difference is payment structure. Lifetime is available on all three tiers.
Can I upgrade from Free to Pro later without losing data?
Yes. Pro installs as a companion plugin alongside Free. Your courses, students, transactions, and certificates all stay exactly as they are. Pro features activate on top of what you already have.
How many sites can I use Pro on?
Personal covers 1 site. Professional covers up to 5 sites. Agency covers unlimited sites. All tiers include the full set of Pro modules.
What does Pro actually add on top of Free?
Pro is a separate companion plugin that adds cohorts for structured group learning, learning paths with prerequisites, content drip on a schedule, 11 quiz question types (Free has 6), academy and membership analytics with CSV export, Stripe Connect instructor payouts, per-instructor commission rules, student notes and bookmarks, Open Badges 3.0 and Credly certificate issuance, a production-ready frontend builder, white-label branding, advanced webhooks (33 events), and more.
