Litmos pricing 2026: SAP Litmos LMS plans and cost per user

Litmos does not publish a price for any plan. On 21 August 2026 all three tiers on its pricing page read "Contact for Pricing" and route to the same demo form. There is no per-user rate, no band table and no starting-from figure anywhere on the page.

Two things about that page have changed and are worth knowing before you read an older comparison. First, the plan names are now Foundation, Platinum and Platinum AI. Write-ups that still describe Litmos as Starter, Premier and Platinum are describing a lineup that no longer exists. Second, the company brands itself simply as Litmos, with the 2026 copyright and the US legal entity both dropping the SAP prefix. Buyers still search for it as SAP Litmos, and the product is the same lineage, but the SAP-branded pricing pages people link to are gone.

What Litmos does publish is unusually useful: a 48-row feature matrix showing which tier holds what. That is more than most quote-only vendors give you, and it lets you work out which tier you are really buying before the first call.

Counting the published matrix, Foundation carries 22 of the 48 features, Platinum carries 44, and Platinum AI carries all 48. Foundation is more generous than most entry tiers in one respect that matters: single sign-on is included, along with custom roles and permissions, white-label themes, learning paths, instructor-led and virtual instructor-led training, ecommerce, electronic signatures and mobile. Plenty of vendors charge extra for SSO alone.

The gap opens on everything that connects Litmos to the rest of your stack.

Read that table as a budgeting tool. If you plan to sync employees from ADP or Namely, push completions into a data warehouse, run more than one brand, or track competencies for a compliance program, you are buying Platinum, not Foundation. Ask for the Platinum quote in the first call rather than the entry quote, or you will compare a number against other vendors that is not the number you will pay.

The API detail is worth a second look. It exists only on Platinum and is documented at up to 100 requests per minute per site. That is fine for a nightly HRIS sync and tight for anything that wants to stream events in real time. If your plan involves an integration you are building yourself, confirm the limit against your expected volume in writing.

Litmos does not publish a per-user rate, so any figure you read is a third-party report rather than a vendor price. The most commonly repeated range is roughly $4 to $15 per learner per month depending on volume, tier and contract length, with implementation quoted separately and content libraries on their own line. We label those as reports because Litmos has never confirmed them, and we would rather say that plainly than dress a rumor up as a rate card.

Three structural things drive the number more than the headline rate does.

The tier you actually need. As above, most companies with an HRIS land on Platinum. A quote built on Foundation is not comparable to a competitor quote that includes an API and integrations as standard.

How a user is counted. Per active learner and per registered user can differ by 30 to 60 percent on identical headcount. A manufacturer with 900 seasonal accounts and 300 monthly logins pays a completely different amount under each model. Get the definition and the measurement window in writing before comparing anything. We work the arithmetic through in LMS cost per user, active versus registered.

The content line. The off-the-shelf library is a large part of why buyers shortlist Litmos, and it is priced separately from the platform. A platform quote and a platform-plus-content quote can differ by more than the platform costs. Ask for both, itemized.

Add implementation on top. Third-party listings commonly cite $8,000 to $25,000 for a Litmos implementation, again unconfirmed by the vendor. Our how much an LMS costs breakdown builds a realistic first-year total including the lines that never appear on the subscription quote.

The fastest way to sanity-check a Litmos quote is to price it against vendors who print a number. Five of the platforms below do, so you can build a comparison in an afternoon instead of six weeks of discovery calls. Every rate here was read from the vendor own pricing page on the date shown.

None of this makes quote-based pricing wrong. It is normal in mid-market software and often lands cheaper than a published rate at real scale. It simply costs you three to six weeks per vendor, and below roughly $10,000 a year several quote-only platforms will decline the deal anyway.

If Litmos is on your shortlist mainly for the content catalog, compare it against the dedicated compliance content vendors too, which do publish rates: our compliance training software pricing page prices those side by side.
