The costs nobody budgets
Setup hours, migration of existing content, training teachers, and self-hosting maintenance if you run your own server. These often exceed the subscription.
LMS cost is driven by plan limits — accounts and storage — plus the staff time to set up, migrate and run it. Naseej publishes plan limits and offers free Academy and School plans with no card, so you can measure the real workload before spending anything.
The licence fee is the visible part. The part that surprises institutions is time: building courses, moving old material, and the term where somebody hits a limit nobody checked. Here is how to estimate all of it.

No servers, upgrades or hosting bills on your side.
Move to a paid plan on the same workspace rather than rebuilding.
