LearnWorlds is one of the few platforms that lets you sign up for a free trial without entering your payment details. This means you can try out its features completely risk-free.
Key Takeaways:
- The free trial gives you access to the platform’s core features
- Some features like mass emails and automation are restricted
- Once the trial expires, upgrade to a paid plan (from $29/month)
What Does the LearnWorlds Free Trial Include?
The LearnWorlds’ free trial isn’t for a specific plan, and you can’t pick a plan you want to try. Instead, you sign up to the platform and get access to most features, albeit on a restricted basis.
That said, there’s enough there to give you a really good feel for how the features work and whether or not they’re right for you.
That includes creating courses, designing a website and blog, and building funnels. You can also try out the ebook builder and add assignments, forms, and assessments to your course material.
It’s even possible to connect a payment gateway and start making sales so you can kick off your business before paying a dime.
What Are the LearnWorlds Free Trial’s Restrictions?
So, what can’t you do during your LearnWorlds free trial? Unfortunately, there’s no “official” list of restricted features, but here’s what I could find as I went through the platform:
- Mass emails: Send bulk communications out to your learners
- Push notifications: Send out notifications via the LearnWorlds’ mobile app
- Training Matrix: Overview of learners course progress
- Scheduled reports: Regular, automated report generation
- Launch mobile app: You can design and customize a mobile app, but you can’t launch and use it. In any case, this feature is an add-on cost to all paid plans.
- Automations: Automate course admin tasks
- Couse insights and metrics: Look at the data of your learner’s performance and course sales
- Graded file assignments: A graded exam template for courses
- Self-assessment uploads: Students self-complete work and then upload it for grading
Honestly, I don’t think the lack of these features will affect your enjoyment of the platform.
Most of them are only useful when you start getting large numbers of students on board, and that’s probably not going to happen within the first 30 days of using LearnWorlds.
How to Sign up for the LearnWorlds Free Trial (Step by Step)
Step 1: Head to this page and add your email address and what you want the URL of your LearnWorlds school to be. Alternatively, you can sign up using your Google credentials.
Step 2: Next, give your new school a name and set a password for your account.
Step 3: You will now be asked to pick a template for your school. Don’t worry, you can change it if you decide the one you choose isn’t quite right.
Step 4: You now have to answer a series of questions about your business. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what answers you give—your trial will be the same no matter what.
Step 5: After answering the questions, you will be given access to the platform.
You can also schedule a live call with a LearnWorlds expert. They will demo the platform for you and answer your questions.
Step 6: Your dashboard screen shows how many days you have left of your free trial. Once it reaches zero, you will lose access to all the platform’s features.
What Happens When the LearnWorlds Free Trial Is Over?
After your trial is over, you can choose to stop using the platform altogether or switch to a paid plan.
You can access the paid plans by clicking your account’s “Upgrade” button.
Here are the standard prices for the four plans:
| Plan | Monthly payment | Monthly payment paid annually | Total annual payment | Discount for annual payment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | $24 | $288 | 17% |
| Pro Trainer | $99 | $79 | $948 | 20% |
| Learning Center | $299 | $249 | $2,988 | 17% |
| Learning Center + mobile app | $598 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Can I Delete My LearnWorlds Free Trial Account?
If you choose not to switch to a paid plan, your LearnWorlds account will lie dormant on an ongoing basis.
LearnWorlds claims that it permanently deletes expired trial accounts. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case because I have had a couple of dormant accounts sitting there for well over six months.
You can delete your LearnWorlds schools, but you will still have an account assigned to your email address. Unfortunately, no feature allows you to completely erase your data yourself.
To do this, you have to contact the LearnWorlds customer service team, who will delete the account on your behalf. Simply head to the support portal and submit an email ticket with your request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Extend the LearnWorlds Free Trial?
You cannot officially extend the 30-day LearnWorlds free trial. However, you get a 30-day cooling-off period once you pay for a plan. This period and the free trial can give you up to 60 days’ worth of free use.
