The best free LearnDash alternative

Systeme.io is the best free LearnDash alternative to launch your course and scale your business effortlessly

Save $5 on every sale

LearnDash lets you create a course, but it doesn't help you sell it. To add order bumps, upsells, or sales pages, you need to install heavy e-commerce plugins like WooCommerce or CartFlows. Systeme.io has a complete sales funnel builder built right into the core platform.

Recruit affiliates for free

LearnDash does not have a built-in affiliate program. To let others promote your course, you have to buy a separate plugin. Systeme.io allows you to run your own affiliate program on the Free plan

Send emails for free

LearnWorlds is an LMS, not a marketing platform. You have to pay for (and integrate) tools like Mailchimp to send newsletters. Systeme.io includes unlimited emails for free
