FAQ
The questions real buyers ask.
How is Masteriyo different from LearnDash or Tutor LMS?
LearnDash and Tutor LMS are solid core LMS plugins, but both expect you to add plugins for payments, subscriptions, multi-currency, and migration. Masteriyo ships with all of it in a single plugin — and costs less. On the entry plan, Masteriyo Basic is $99/year compared to $199/year for either — a $300 saving over 3 years.
How is Masteriyo different from Teachable or Kajabi?
Teachable and Kajabi are hosted platforms — you rent space on their servers and pay monthly fees that grow as your business does. Masteriyo lives on your WordPress site. You pay once a year (or once forever), own your data, and keep 100% of your revenue.
What is Masteriyo?
Masteriyo is the WordPress LMS plugin for creators who want a complete course business in a single plugin. You get a modern, AI-powered course builder, built-in payments, multi-currency pricing, and zero transaction fees — all on your own WordPress site.
Who is Masteriyo for?
Coaches, educators, agencies, and organizations who want full control of their platform, students, and revenue. If you can run a WordPress site, you can run Masteriyo.
Do I need coding skills?
No. Masteriyo is built for creators, not developers. The setup wizard creates every page you need in under a minute.
Can I migrate from another LMS?
Yes. The LMS Migration Tool imports courses, quizzes, students, and orders from most major plugins in one click.
