Comparison

How to compare LMS platforms fairly

Compare platforms on evidence you can gather yourself: how long a real course takes to publish, whether live teaching works in practice, what the published limits are, how it reads on a phone, and whether support answers. Run the same test on each shortlisted platform.

Comparison tables tend to reward whoever wrote them. A fairer method is to define one identical test and run it on every shortlisted platform, including this one.

Comparisons that prove nothing

Checkbox grids hide the differences that matter: how many steps a teacher takes daily, what happens at the plan limit, how the mobile view handles your content.

One identical test, every platform

Publish the same real course, enrol the same test learners, run one live session, check limits against your numbers, and send each support team the same question. Then compare notes.
