Different LMS pricing models most commonly offered by LMS providers are
• Pay per User - In this LMS pricing model you buy the license for a fixed number of users. The user license quota defines the maximum number of users that can be created in your account. For example, if you subscribe for a 500 user license, you can create a maximum of 500 users
• Pay per Active User - In this model, you can create unlimited users in the Learning Management System and have to pay only for users who are actively using the LMS within the billing period.
• Pay per Registered User - In this model, you have to pay only for users who are registered on LMS. The users can self-register themselves on the LMS. This LMS pricing model is most suitable for those who are in the business of selling online training courses.
• Periodic Licensing - Periodic licensing gives LMS access to unlimited users for a specific period of time mostly monthly or annually. This LMS pricing model is preferred by large organizations who want a fixed expense irrespective of the usage.
• Perpetual Licensing - Perpetual Licensing Model usually includes a one-time payment for user License fee and a recurring Annual Maintenance Cost for maintenance and support. This LMS pricing model is usually applicable for Installation based or On-Premise Learning Management Systems.
• Open Source or Free LMS - Open Source LMS is available for free or is offered as a freemium service; which means that the basic software is free but you have to pay for any additional features. Other costs may include setup and hosting fees, customization cost, support and maintenance charges, and upgrade cost.
