Tutorial to Set Up Your LearnWorlds Account
Join LearnWorlds with a 30-day free trial. It is a no-commitment trial. All you need to join are your email address and school name.
You can test most of the paid plans’ features during the free trial, and launch your first course. However, you can only connect to a payment gateway after payment. This is when you can start charging for your course (but you can promote and start collecting leads on a free course).Â
Once the trial is over, or if you are ready sooner, you can subscribe to a paid plan.Â
There are four paid plans available after the free trial. These include Starter ($29/month or $24/month when paid annually), Pro Trainer ($99/month or $79/month when paid annually), Learning Center ($299/month or $249/month when paid annually), and High Volume & Corporate (price available on request).
Each plan has different features and tools. You can upgrade or downgrade your account by clicking on My Account, then School Plan and selecting a new plan.
