    The method

    How it's calculated.

    This LMS cost calculator adds up what you actually pay to run learning today — per-seat licensing plus the content authoring and admin around it — and compares it to one AI platform that authors, hosts and delivers courses in the same place. The gap is your estimated annual saving when three tools become one.

    01

    Your cost today

    Learners × cost per seat, plus the content authoring and admin you pay for around the LMS. That's your real annual spend to run learning right now.

    02

    With one platform

    ContentBuilder authors, hosts and delivers courses in one place — so a separate authoring tool, video tool and LMS collapse into a single subscription, roughly halving total cost.

    03

    Your annual saving

    The difference is what you stop paying when three tools become one — with 100+ languages, video and completion analytics included.

    Why the numbers hold up

    LMS Cost Calculator FAQ

    This LMS cost calculator totals what you actually spend to run learning today — your per-seat license multiplied by learners, plus the content authoring and admin around it — and compares it to a single AI platform that authors, hosts and delivers courses in one place, typically about 50% cheaper overall.

    Per-seat pricing is only part of LMS total cost. The bigger spend is often the authoring tools, video production, integrations and admin time to keep courses current. Including them shows true cost of ownership, which is where consolidation saves the most.

    The calculator is free and runs entirely in your browser with no account. Your slider values aren't stored anywhere unless you choose to enter an email for the PDF report; running the numbers requires nothing from you.

    ContentBuilder authors courses with AI, generates video and quizzes, hosts the catalog and reports on completion — the jobs you currently split across an authoring tool, a video tool and an LMS. Three subscriptions and their admin collapse into one.

    ~50% is a typical result when three tools become one, but your figure depends on plan, seat count and how much external content production you do today. Use the sliders for your own estimate, or book a demo for a tailored comparison.

    One platform instead of three.
