Every Lernie plan includes the core of the platform: courses, assignments, quizzes, a full gradebook, discussions, messaging and calendars. What changes as you move up is how many students you can serve and which advanced tools you get. Here's how to choose.
Prices change and discounts come and go, so always check the pricing page for today's numbers. Yearly billing is always cheaper than paying monthly.
Starter: for smaller schools getting started
Best for: schools, training centres and departments with up to around 500 students that want to move teaching and assessment online quickly.
You get everything you need to run courses well:
- courses, modules and pages with files and video
- assignments, quizzes and a weighted gradebook
- discussions, announcements and the course inbox
- calendars and Google sign-in
Choose Starter if your assessments are mostly coursework and classroom quizzes, and you don't need secure online exams yet.
Growth: for institutions that assess online
Best for: colleges and growing institutions with up to around 2,000 students. It's our most popular plan.
Growth adds the tools that matter once Lernie becomes part of how you run the whole term:
- Attendance tracking that can count towards the final grade
- Shared question banks reused across courses and terms
- The Lernie Lockdown app for secure, high-stakes online exams
- Your own branding: logo, colours and fonts
- Analytics and reports on courses and students
Choose Growth if you run midterms or finals online, or you want Lernie to look and feel like your institution.
Institution: for whole universities
Best for: universities and large institutions with up to around 10,000 students.
Everything in Growth, plus:
- Lernie AI course builder, which drafts whole courses from your materials
- AI quiz question generation
- Priority support from our team
Choose Institution if you're rolling Lernie out across faculties and want to save staff hundreds of hours of course preparation.
Enterprise: for large or complex organisations
Best for: multi-campus universities, ministries, networks of schools and organisations with more than 10,000 learners or special requirements.
Enterprise includes every feature with unlimited students, custom terms and a dedicated success manager. Pricing is agreed with you, so contact our team.
Still not sure?
Ask yourself three questions:
- How many students will use Lernie this year? Pick the plan whose limit comfortably covers them.
- Will you run high-stakes exams online? If yes, you need Growth or above.
- Would AI course drafting save your staff real time? If yes, look at Institution.
You can move up a plan at any time, and we credit what you've already paid. If you'd rather talk it through, book a short call and we'll recommend the right fit.
