REIGN

Free tool

Which LMS should run your community?

Learnomy, LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS or Sensei. Six questions, one answer, and the reasoning behind it. Learnomy is ours and installs free; the other four are third-party engines Reign has styled for years. The tool says which one fits, not which one we sell.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no signup.

Question 1 Where do your courses live today?

Courses that already exist somewhere are the strongest argument for staying put. Rebuilding a catalogue by hand costs more than any licence.

Question 2 How many courses in your first year?
Question 3 Who builds the courses?
Question 4 Does the LMS have to plug into other tools?
Question 5 Do you need membership tiers built in?
Question 6 Budget for the LMS licence, on top of the theme?

The five, side by side

Reign styles every one of them. The difference is what you pay to start and what you pay to make it look like the rest of your site.

Engine Starts at Reign styling Best when
Learnomy Ours Free plugin, Pro from $149/yr Native, no add-on You are starting fresh and want one vendor for the theme and the LMS
LearnDash Paid licence, no free version LearnDash add-on, $39/yr You need its integration catalogue, or your courses already live there
LifterLMS Free core, paid add-ons LifterLMS add-on, $39/yr Membership tiers matter as much as the courses

Third-party licence prices are set by their own vendors and change, so check with them before you buy. The Reign prices are ours: the theme is $99 a year or $249 lifetime, and each add-on is $39 a year.
