Corporate LMS Pricing 2026
By Oliver Wakefield-Smith, Founder, Digital Signet · Verified June 2026
What vendors actually publish (and what they don’t)
The corporate LMS market is deliberately opaque. Enterprise platforms including Workday Learning, Cornerstone OnDemand, SAP SuccessFactors Learning, Docebo, LearnUpon, and Absorb do not publish pricing and require sales conversations to obtain even ballpark figures. The table below is honest about which vendors publish and which do not. Where a vendor publishes a figure somewhere other than its own site, that filing is used as the primary reference: Cornerstone, Skillsoft and Docebo all appear on the UK G-Cloud framework, and Docebo and Cornerstone both carry priced AWS Marketplace listings. Where no such source exists, this page states plainly that the vendor does not publish and gives no number. Nothing on this page is invented, and buyer-reported aggregator figures are not used as prices.
Two of these vendors set their list price by the buyer’s country. Coursera derives the Teams price from the visitor’s IP, and iSpring publishes a separate band set per market. Every figure above is the vendor’s own published price for the market named beside it, and none has been converted into another currency. Read your own country’s figure from the vendor before you budget.
Most cloud LMS platforms. You pay only for users who log in. TalentLMS, LearnUpon, 360Learning.
Some enterprise platforms charge regardless of activity. Read the contract for the “registered” vs “active” definition.
Cornerstone, Workday, SAP. Fixed annual fee negotiated on headcount bands. Overages expensive. Multi-year discounts common.

Why you will not find an “average contract value” here. Procurement marketplaces and review sites publish aggregated figures for the quote-only LMS vendors, built from private, self-selected buyer reports. Those are not list prices, they cannot be checked against a primary source, and they will not match your quote. This page does not carry them. For a quote-only vendor you get one of two things instead: a real figure the vendor published somewhere public, with the source and date attached, or a plain statement that the vendor publishes nothing.
