Pricing Trends in Learning Management Systems

We're putting the finishing touches on the 2008 edition of our annual Low-Cost Learning Management Systems report, which will be available later this week. Systems included will price below average for small to very large implementations. Crunching these numbers gives us a chance to examine how pricing is changing from year to year.

The chart below shows the average three-year cumulative pricing, including licensing and maintenance fees, for small, medium, large, and very large LMS implementations.

	2007	2008
HOSTED IMPLEMENTATIONS
500 users	$69,168	$55,622
10,000 users	$331,568	$266,404
25,000 users	$574,145	$483,167
100,000 users	$1,432,127	$1,304,830
INSTALLED IMPLEMENTATIONS
500 users	$48,803	$72,370
10,000 users	$254,656	$339,414
25,000 users	$473,841	$601,358
100,000 users	$1,250,610	$1,529,718

These prices show an interesting trend. Hosted systems are dropping in price. Systems installed on customers' servers are becoming more expensive. This is a change from the overall downward pricing trend we've been monitoring in installed and hosted implementations since 2005.

The repository of all Brandon Hall LMS research is the LMS KnowledgeBase. At approximately 4,000 pages in size if it were to be printed, this is the most comprehensive and objective information available anywhere about commercial learning management systems.

But, the information contained in the LMS KnowledgeBase may be more information than some people need. Our new report, LMS 2008 Snapshot Profiles: Overview and Reviews of 75+ Learning Management Systems, provides shorter profiles of the same 76 learning management systems covered in the LMS KnowledgeBase.
