You really don&rsquo;t need to spend a cent to build a fully working online course, and this post proves it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I tested five plugins that offer solid free versions: <strong>Masteriyo, LearnPress, FluentCommunity, Academy LMS, and Tutor LMS<\/strong>. Each one lets you create and sell courses directly from your WordPress site, with no hidden paid plan required to get a &ldquo;real course&rdquo; online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide is for anyone who wants to launch an online course on WordPress without committing to a subscription upfront. I break down what each free version gives you &#127379;, what each plugin looks like &#128064;, where it shines &#10024;, and which one fits your situation best &#127919;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, a general comparison table if you&rsquo;re in a rush and would prefer to just get to your ideal LMS quickly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table

Masteriyo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/learning-management-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masteriyo<\/a> is one of those LMS plugins that take the idea of &ldquo;free&rdquo; kind of seriously. What&rsquo;s truly the best about it is that it really is the total package for <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-create-an-online-course-wordpress\/\">starting an online course<\/a> for free and even being able to sell it without having to invest in any additional tools upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, if you want to test an elearning idea without spending anything, this is one of the strongest options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Masteriyo lets you build unlimited courses, sections, and lessons with a drag-and-drop builder. You also get a quiz builder, time limits, and custom grading. Content drip is built in, so you can release lessons in a sequence if that&rsquo;s what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me though, the main thing that stands out is the ability to sell access to your courses and to have it all happen without WooCommerce (though, of course, there is an optional WooCommerce integration if you need it). The free version includes a cart, checkout, order management, and basic coupons. You can connect the most popular payment gateways too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the new stuff coming in, Masteriyo now offers some AI-assisted features &ndash; for course creation, for example. You can connect your OpenAI account and generate lesson outlines or drafts to speed things up. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-using-it\">Using it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main dashboard is clean and easy to follow.

If you are validating an idea or launching a single-instructor course site, the free version is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Masteriyo is one of the better free LMS choices for WordPress users who want real selling tools and course features from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-key-features\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited courses, sections, and lessons with drag-and-drop builder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in ecommerce with cart, checkout, and coupons (no WooCommerce required)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native Stripe, PayPal, Surecart, Lemon Squeezy, and Mollie payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quiz builder with timed quizzes and custom grading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sequential content drip for structured lesson release<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certificate builder with QR code verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SCORM import and one-click LMS migration tool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI-assisted course creation using ChatGPT integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frontend student dashboards, reviews, and course Q&amp;A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility with Gutenberg, Divi, Bricks, and Beaver page builders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/masteriyo.com\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> Masteriyo official<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/learning-management-system\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#888;border-color:#6d6d6d;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#acacac;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> on .org<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-spacer no-phone\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-tabs su-tabs-style-default su-tabs-mobile-stack\" data-active=\"1\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-tabs-nav\"><span class=\"\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"blank\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">&#9878;&#65039; DISCLAIMER<\/span><\/div><div class=\"su-tabs-panes\"><div class=\"su-tabs-pane su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" data-title=\"&#9878;&#65039; DISCLAIMER\">Masteriyo is a member of the Themeisle family of products.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"learnpress\">2.

You can also redirect to an external checkout if you have your own sales funnel set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One genuinely useful free feature is open-access courses &ndash; so no signup required. It&rsquo;s a smart way to attract new students at the top of your funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The user experience is mostly good. The course builder itself is clean and beginner-friendly. The one rough edge is the main LearnPress dashboard inside wp-admin, which feels a bit dated and doesn&rsquo;t make it obvious that a separate, more modern course builder even exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the students, the interface is clear and understandable, but nothing stunning. It gets the job done for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=658579416

what it is, but monetization is limited. Only PayPal and offline payments are included. Features like certificates, assignments, content drip, and Stripe payments all require paid add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, it&rsquo;s worth comparing the Pro Bundle against something like Masteriyo, which bundles Stripe, PayPal, certificates, and SCORM into its free plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sites that just want to publish courses and collect payments via PayPal, LearnPress is a strong free pick. The long track record, flexible lesson editor, and good free features make it one of the more reliable starting points in this space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-0\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited courses and lessons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multimedia lessons using the standard WordPress editor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course builder interface with a drag-and-drop workflow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reusable lesson bank and question bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in quizzes with multiple choice, true\/false, fill-in-the-blank, and timed quizzes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OpenAI integration to help generate course content faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in PayPal and offline payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>External checkout redirects to connect with your own sales funnel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course access controls and lesson previews for gated or teaser content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free add-ons including Course Reviews, Wishlist, Prerequisites, Coming Soon, and bbPress\/BuddyPress integrations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learnpresslms.com\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> LearnPress official<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/learnpress\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#888;border-color:#6d6d6d;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#acacac;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> on .org<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"fluentcommunity\">3. FluentCommunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/fluent-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentCommunity<\/a> is a different take on an LMS solution &hellip; and that&rsquo;s mainly because it isn&rsquo;t one purely. I mean, it has a functional LMS module, sure, but the plugin aims to be more than just that. It&rsquo;s in fact a whole community solution for WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure you know what an online community is so let me just say that it&rsquo;s something like Facebook for your own brand. Or maybe more like Skool, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your audience gets their own space with a newsfeed, a place to share updates, post, like each other stuff, etc., you get the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, apart from that, you can also create online courses within that community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LMS module is surprisingly functional. It has all the basics you might need, plus a great UI and a really polished design.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px

there&rsquo;s a nice walkthrough wizard that asks you what sort of community you want to build and what you want in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img

It already includes most of the core LMS and community features sites like that will need, so you won&rsquo;t need to upgrade in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create unlimited courses and lessons, drip content over time (in a rigid way &ndash; like ever x days, or on a schedule), track student progress, run lesson discussions, manage enrollments, and build dedicated spaces for students to interact, which is Fluent&rsquo;s main advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also includes strong community tools like activity feeds, chats, notifications, directories, and user profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro version adds extra community and management features like Manager Roles, leaderboards, badges, verification tools, and more automation actions. Still, the free version does not hide the main LMS experience behind a paywall, and that&rsquo;s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FluentCommunity looks like one of the better free choices for users who want to launch courses, but most of all want to build a community that&rsquo;s active on the site in more ways than just by checking off lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-1\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited courses and lessons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in LMS and community platform in one plugin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gutenberg-based course builder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drip content support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesson discussions for student interaction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Progress tracking for learners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time chats and activity feeds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User profiles and community spaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student enrollment and privacy controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Role manager and user approval tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One-click migration from BuddyBoss and BuddyPress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fluentcommunity.co\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> FluentCommunity official<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/fluent-community\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#888;border-color:#6d6d6d;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#acacac;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> on .org<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"academy-lms\">4. Academy LMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Academy LMS<\/a> is perhaps the plugin to consider if you want to build something like Udemy &ndash; a bigger course platform that can act as a marketplace. This means you can have multiple instructors who teach, create their courses, lessons, and then can also earn money for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This focus on multi-instructor support is what really sets apart Academy LMS. No other tool on this list offers this much for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand though, Academy is also great if you want to build an online course platform just for yourself and would just like to have more advanced and detailed features at your disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-using-it-2\">Using it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you&rsquo;ll notice is Academy&rsquo;s very nice onboarding wizard. It walks you through the most commonly needed elements to make your LMS rock and does so in an approachable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img

Both come with their own entry wizards.

Lesson editing, course previews, Q&amp;A, reviews, ratings, certificates, and a quiz builder are all included in the free version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full

This can speed up your workflow a lot if you want to publish video courses specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full blog-img-std\"><img data-opt-id=1513852108

for the multi-instructor marketplace use case. If that&rsquo;s what you need, get it and don&rsquo;t think twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tradeoff is that features you&rsquo;d expect to find for free elsewhere are locked behind Pro here. Content drip, email notifications, course prerequisites, gradebook, SCORM, and assignments all require an upgrade. If any of those matter more to you than multi-instructor tools, this might not be the right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Academy LMS is the strongest free option for running an instructor marketplace. For anything else, the free tier asks you to give up a lot in return.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-2\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited courses and lessons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multi-instructor system with revenue sharing and earnings management for free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instructor withdrawal system for handling payouts inside the platform<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frontend course builder with lesson editing and full dashboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support for video lessons from multiple sources, including YouTube and Vimeo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course engagement tools like reviews, ratings, Q&amp;A, and wishlists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic quiz builder with multiple question types<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certificates, instructor profiles, and built-in content security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/academylms.net\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> Academy LMS official<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/academy\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#888;border-color:#6d6d6d;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#acacac;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> on .org<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"tutor-lms\">5. Tutor LMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/tutor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tutor LMS<\/a> is a classic LMS plugin for WordPress. What I mean by this is that it does courses, lessons, quizzes, custom dashboards for students and instructors, and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, it also draws the line in interesting places as to what should be excluded from the free version. For example, you don&rsquo;t get drip content, course previews, prerequisites, certificates, or even analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you get a free LMS that offers some really cool options, and even lets you sell your courses, but then you can find out that something essential to you is behind a paywall.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-using-it-3\">Using it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m really liking the setup wizard.

unlimited courses and students. You can accept payments through PayPal or connect WooCommerce. The quiz builder works fine. Students and instructors get separate dashboards. You can add video lessons from YouTube, Vimeo, or embedded sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s where it gets tricky, though. Many features that feel essential are Pro-only: certificates, content drip, assignments, gradebook, live classes, and course bundles. Even course prerequisites need the upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tutor LMS works well if you need the basics plus solid payment handling. But you&rsquo;ll probably need Pro sooner than you&rsquo;d like if your courses get more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-3\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlimited courses, lessons, and students on the free plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nice quiz builder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Video lesson support from YouTube, Vimeo, and embed sources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student and instructor dashboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monetization with PayPal payments without needing a premium upgrade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WooCommerce integration to sell courses as products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coupon management and tax settings for promotions and compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Order management with refunds included in the free tier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketplace support with multiple instructors and revenue sharing (albeit a bit difficult to set)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tutorlms.com\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#EC6551;border-color:#bd5141;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#f29486;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> Tutor LMS official<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/tutor\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-3d\" style=\"color:#FFF;background-color:#888;border-color:#6d6d6d;border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color:#FFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#acacac;border-radius:10px;text-shadow:none\"> on .org<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-on-these-free-lms-plugins\">Conclusion on these free LMS plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these plugins has a clear sweet spot, for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/learning-management-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masteriyo<\/a> is the best all-around free pick for me.
