First year is what you pay in the first 12 months. Renewal is the cost of 12 months at the price the vendor lists for renewal. Every row links to the vendor's own pricing page and shows the date we checked it. All amounts are in USD.

LearnDash is now sold as a bundle through Liquid Web
learndash.com/pricing redirected to a LearnDash page on liquidweb.com when I read it. That page shows one set of tiers and says: Every plan includes the full package: Give, The Events Calendar, LearnDash, and Kadence. The tiers are 1 site at $350 a year, 10 sites at $599, 25 sites at $799, 50 sites at $899 and 100 sites at $999, each billed per year.
The page lists no separately priced LearnDash plan and no priced add-ons. It does not say which Kadence products the bundle covers, and it names no payment gateways for selling courses.
The LearnDash billing page says licenses renew automatically one calendar year after purchase and that cancelling does not trigger a refund. It offers a refund within 30 days of the initial purchase. The pricing page also shows: Try LearnDash free for 48 hours, with no credit card required.
Official LearnDash discounts
No discount, coupon code or Black Friday offer was shown on LearnDash's own pricing page as of October 30, 2026. The free 48-hour trial is a trial, not a discount.
Promotions on the other plugin pages
On October 30, 2026 Tutor LMS and MasterStudy both showed a Halloween promotion, and the struck-through prices above are the ones beside the promotional prices. Neither page states an end date. LifterLMS shows a standing first-year discount, described on its FAQ as 50% off the first year, with no end date.
No Black Friday offer was visible on the Tutor LMS, LifterLMS, Sensei or MasterStudy pricing pages as of October 30, 2026.
Add-ons the vendors price
Only these pages price anything beyond the main plan. LearnDash, Tutor LMS and MasterStudy list no separately priced add-ons on their pricing pages. LifterLMS's FAQ says Advanced Quizzes, Assignments and Continuing Education tracking are advanced add-ons included only in the Infinity Bundle, which is $799 a year.
- Sensei Interactive Blocks: $5 USD a month, billed $60 yearly
- LifterLMS Earth Bundle: includes ecommerce add-ons for Stripe, PayPal and WooCommerce at $199 a year
- LifterLMS lists a la carte add-ons covering 1 site each; their prices were not read
Payment gateway fees
Gateway fees come from the processor and are separate from every price above. Stripe's US page, read October 31, 2026, lists 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction for domestic cards, plus 0.5% for manually entered cards, 1.5% for international cards and 1% if currency conversion is required, and a $15.00 fee for each dispute you receive.
PayPal's own US fee page, last updated October 1, 2026, lists PayPal Checkout at 3.49% plus a fixed fee, standard credit and debit card payments at 2.99% plus a fixed fee, and a US dollar fixed fee of 0.49 USD.
How I checked
Every price comes from the vendor's own page, read on October 30, 2026. Nothing was converted or rounded and nothing was purchased. The MasterStudy prices needed a browser to render, including its Lifetime tab. The Tutor LMS and MasterStudy annual prices and the Stripe fee page were re-read in a US view on October 31, 2026, and those rows carry that date.
