LearnDash has been a popular WordPress LMS for years. MemberPress has comparable LMS features, plus community and coaching that LearnDash doesn\u2019t offer at any price point. And now, LearnDash\u2019s parent brand ceased to exist. Here\u2019s where things stand.<\/em><\/p>

Final Verdict<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
The Short Answer:<\/strong> LearnDash is a WordPress LMS plugin starting at $259\/year that now includes built-in memberships, subscriptions, and payments via MemberDash. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress is a WordPress membership plugin from $349.50\/year that includes a full LMS plus community features (ClubSuite\u2122) and coaching tools (CoachKit\u2122). <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Both cover the LMS fundamentals well; MemberPress adds community and coaching that LearnDash doesn\u2019t offer at any price. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For most course creators, coaches, and membership site owners, MemberPress is the more complete platform.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Wait\u2026 What Just Happened to LearnDash?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s May 2026, and WordPress users have just noticed something odd: learndash.com has stopped functioning as a standalone site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with Kadence, GiveWP, The Events Calendar, and IconicWP, the familiar LearnDash website has been folded into Liquid Web\u2019s main domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
StellarWP (the brand that had housed LearnDash since its 2021 acquisition) has been effectively disbanded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liquid Web has consolidated its entire WordPress plugin portfolio down to four core products under its own roof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LearnDash survived the cut, its own membership plugin, MemberDash, was absorbed into it, but the dedicated brand identity, team structure, and product roadmap that existed under StellarWP are gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What that means for the future of LearnDash\u2019s development, support quality, and strategic direction under a managed hosting company is, at this point, genuinely unclear.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve written more extensively about this in our post What Happened to LearnDash? The StellarWP Collapse, Explained<\/a>,<\/em> but it\u2019s context you should have before making a long-term plugin decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that said, this post is primarily about features. Let\u2019s compare them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Is LearnDash?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$\"LearnDash$
LearnDash Page on LiquidWeb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
LearnDash<\/a> is a WordPress LMS plugin first launched in 2013, built for creating and selling online courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has a strong reputation for LMS depth: eight quiz types, drip content, group management, gradebooks, cohorts, and advanced reporting on higher plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It now powers 100,000+ active installs and claims 25M+ learners taught. For organisations running serious e-learning programmes, it\u2019s been a popular WordPress choice for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The picture has recently changed. With MemberDash now integrated into every plan, LearnDash is no longer purely an LMS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memberships, subscription tiers, content dripping by membership level, and built-in Stripe\/PayPal payments are all included from the Essentials plan upwards. It\u2019s now a more complete platform than it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What it still doesn\u2019t have: community features and coaching tools. There\u2019s no equivalent to MemberPress\u2019s ClubSuite\u2122 or CoachKit\u2122 in any LearnDash plan.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/span>What Is MemberPress?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$\"MemberPress$
MemberPress HomePage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress<\/a> started as a membership and access control plugin in 2012 and has expanded into a full platform for memberships, courses, community, and coaching: it\u2019s the all in one plugin for creators who want to monetize their content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress manages to offer everything while still keeping bloat to a minimum by using add-ons<\/em> so that you activate only the features you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
The MemberPress Courses<\/a><\/strong> add-on adds a drag and drop course builder, completion certificates, course content dripping, and unlocks the following add-ons:\n
\n
Quizzes<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 Add fun and flexible quizzes to your courses- Includes 9 quiz types<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Assignments<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Students can submit assignments as files and links. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Gradebook<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Manage grades, track student progress, and provide personalized feedback<\/li>\n\n\n\n
AI Course Generator<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 Build out your curricula, lessons and quizzes all from a natural conversation right inside MemberPress Courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The CoachKit\u2122<\/a><\/strong> add-on adds cohorts, coaching programs, milestones, and habit tracking, which can all add to your course experience. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
ClubSuite\u2122<\/a><\/strong> refers to MemberPress\u2019s range of community plugins:\n
\n
ClubCircles\u2122<\/strong> \u2013 add forums for your students to connect and share tips<\/li>\n\n\n\n
ClubDirectory\u2122<\/strong> \u2013 enable students to create rich profiles and find other members in directories<\/li>\n\n\n\n
ClubConnect\u2122<\/strong> \u2013 enable direct messaging between students, admins, teachers, and coaches. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Payments are handled natively through Stripe, PayPal, and others. Access control (who sees what, based on which membership tier) is the original core feature it was built on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
The practical difference from LearnDash: MemberPress adds community and coaching to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ClubSuite\u2122 and CoachKit\u2122 have no LearnDash equivalent, and for membership site owners who want all three pillars (learning, community, and coaching) in one plugin, that gap is the deciding factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/span>MemberPress vs. LearnDash: Pricing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
LearnDash plans (current Liquid Web pricing):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Essentials:<\/strong> $259\/year \u2013 courses, 8 quiz types, MemberDash memberships, Stripe\/PayPal, certificates, video progression<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pro:<\/strong> $399\/year \u2013 adds AI Course Outline, advanced reporting, enrollment tracking, weighted grading, report cards, groups & cohorts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Elite:<\/strong> $599\/year \u2013 adds multi-instructor management, instructor role, front-end course creation, ratings and reviews<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
No transaction fees on any plan. Unlimited courses and learners on all plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress plans<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Launch:<\/strong> From $199.50\/year (yr 1; $399\/yr renewal) + 4.9% fee (memberships and basic courses \u2013 no community or coaching)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Growth:<\/strong> From $349.50\/year (yr 1; $699\/yr renewal) + 0% fees<\/strong> (Courses + CoachKit\u2122 + ClubSuite\u2122 community)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Scale:<\/strong> From $499.50\/year (yr 1; $999\/yr renewal) + 0% fees<\/strong> (adds ClubConnect\u2122 real-time messaging)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The comparison is closer than it used to be. LearnDash Essentials at $259\/year now includes memberships and payments, so it\u2019s genuinely competing at a similar level to MemberPress Launch for basic course-plus-membership setups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress Growth at $349.50\/year is ~$90 more per year but includes community features and CoachKit\u2122 that LearnDash doesn\u2019t offer at any price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottom line:<\/strong> Both platforms now cover courses, memberships, and payments. The pricing is in the same ballpark. The differentiation comes down to what\u2019s alongside the LMS.

MemberPress includes community and coaching; LearnDash goes deeper on the LMS side itself with things like plagiarism detection and more structured formal assessment tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>MemberPress vs. LearnDash: Course and LMS Features<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress and LearnDash have a comparable LMS feature set. But where LearnDash pulls ahead on the LMS side is reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advanced enrollment tracking and completion rate analytics are available on Pro and Elite. If you\u2019re running an institutional programme that needs that reporting depth, LearnDash has more to offer there specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress Courses covers everything most course creators and membership site owners actually need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Quizzes support graded assessments. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
The gradebook tracks student performance. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Assignments let students submit more complex work. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Completion certificates are included. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
An AI Course Generator speeds up course creation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
And because it\u2019s inside MemberPress, access control (who can access which course, based on which membership) is native, not bolted on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line:<\/strong> For the vast majority of membership site owners and course creators,MemberPress Courses covers everything needed and adds features LearnDash simply doesn\u2019t have.

For enterprise eLearning with SCORM requirements, LearnDash wins on LMS depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>MemberPress vs. LearnDash: Community and Coaching<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With MemberDash now built into LearnDash, both plugins cover the core bases: courses, memberships, and payments. The clearest gap between them is what sits alongside the LMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress has ClubSuite\u2122 (discussion boards, member directories, real-time messaging) and CoachKit\u2122 (coaching programs, milestones, habit tracking, and scheduling integrations). Neither exists in any form in LearnDash at any plan level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a creator whose model is purely courses-plus-memberships, LearnDash and MemberPress are now genuinely comparable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for anyone running a coaching program, a paid community, or a combination of all three, MemberPress covers the full picture in one plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n $\"AdSanity$ <\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
With LearnDash, you\u2019d need to bolt on additional tools for community and coaching, which brings back the plugin management complexity that MemberDash\u2019s integration was supposed to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress also benefits from 14 years of membership development. MemberDash is newer, and while it covers the fundamentals, MemberPress\u2019s access control, couponing, subscription management, and reporting infrastructure is more mature and more battle-tested at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>MemberPress vs. LearnDash: Platform Stability<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress is built and maintained by Caseproof \u2013 an independent company with a clear, stable product identity and a 14-year track record of iterating on the same plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LearnDash is now directly under Liquid Web, a managed hosting company, following the effective dissolution of StellarWP in May 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liquid Web has stated LearnDash is one of its four retained core products, which is reassuring. But the brand identity, dedicated product team, and strategic focus that existed under StellarWP are gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How actively LearnDash is developed under its new structure remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a plugin you\u2019re building long-term course revenue on, that\u2019s a question worth asking, even if it doesn\u2019t yet have a definitive answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottom line:<\/strong> Both plugins currently work. MemberPress has the clearer, more stable product trajectory. LearnDash\u2019s future direction under Liquid Web is an open question following May 2026\u2019s restructuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/span>MemberPress vs. LearnDash: Customer Satisfaction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress holds a 4.8\/5 on Trustpilot<\/a> and 4.6\/5 on G2<\/a>. LearnDash holds 4.5\/5 on Trustpilot<\/a> and G2 shows a lower 4.2\/5 <\/a>from 49 reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While both consistently receive positive reviews positive, the G2 gap is worth noting. G2 reviews tend to come from users who\u2019ve been running the plugin for a while and have something substantive to say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress\u2019s 4.6\/5 from a larger pool suggests more consistent satisfaction across the user base, while LearnDash\u2019s smaller G2 sample may simply reflect a less engaged review community rather than product issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress reviews consistently highlight responsive support and the reliability of having courses, memberships, and community managed by one team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Should You Use Both?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress and LearnDash integrate natively, and some organisations do run both, using MemberPress for its mature membership infrastructure and LearnDash for its deeper LMS features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your course business needs that LMS depth but also wants MemberPress\u2019s community and coaching features, the combination is legitimate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For most course creators and membership site owners, though, MemberPress Courses alone is plenty, and keeping the plugin count down simplifies maintenance considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Who MemberPress Is Best For<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Course creators and membership site owners who want courses, memberships, community, and coaching covered by one plugin and one support team<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Coaches who need CoachKit\u2122 alongside course delivery (milestones, habit tracking, client onboarding)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Communities that need ClubSuite\u2122 discussion boards, member directories, and messaging alongside their courses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Anyone whose LMS needs are met by drip content, quizzes, gradebook, assignments, and certificates \u2013 which covers the vast majority of use cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Sites building a full learning + community + coaching business who don\u2019t want to manage additional plugins for those layers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Who LearnDash Is Best For<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Course creators who need gamification (points, badges, leaderboards), detailed LMS reporting, or the multi-instructor features in LearnDash Pro or Elite<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Organisations managing multiple instructors, selling group\/enterprise seats, or running structured cohort programmes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Anyone already deeply invested in the LearnDash ecosystem who doesn\u2019t need the community and coaching features MemberPress provides<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Power users who want to pair a best-in-class LMS with MemberPress\u2019s membership infrastructure. The LearnDash MemberPress integration supports this well<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Switching from LearnDash to MemberPress<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been running both LearnDash and a separate membership plugin, consolidating into MemberPress Growth typically reduces the plugin count and simplifies ongoing maintenance significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress has it\u2019s own Courses Migrator<\/a> that enables you to migrate LearnDash to MemberPress automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MemberPress is a WordPress membership plugin from $349.50\/year that includes a full LMS plus community features (ClubSuite\u2122) and coaching tools (CoachKit\u2122). <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Both cover the LMS fundamentals well; MemberPress adds community and coaching that LearnDash doesn\u2019t offer at any price. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For most course creators, coaches, and membership site owners, MemberPress is the more complete platform.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
