    How much does it cost?

    We realize investing in a new LMS represents a significant business decision. The good news? When compared to costly custom development or inflexible third-party systems, our Accelerator package is an extremely affordable route to creating a world-class, enterprise-grade learning platform.

    The core components include:

    • Kinsta WordPress Hosting: Plans start at $30/month for hosting optimized for LMS applications.
    • Thrive Suite: Access to all Thrive plugins including Thrive Apprentice for $399/year. Comparable plugins would cost thousands in licenses fees.
    • Implementation and Customization (optional): Our packaged rate of $7,500 as a one-time, upfront fee is an incredible value. Typical LMS implementations cost upwards of $100k+ when doing it in-house. This also 5 Platinum passes to the Collab365 Academy.
    • Access to training in the Collab365 Academy (optional): We've created a series of training video details exactly how to set this all up from scratch. If you'd like access to these as well as enjoy a Platinum Access these are $450/year/user. 

    That means you can get started with an initial budget of less than $10k and own a customized LMS running on enterprise infrastructure, integrated with industry-leading tools like WordPress and Microsoft 365.

    Compared to paying ongoing annual licensing fees in the $10Ks to $100Ks range for comparably equipped LMS platforms, not to mention 6-figure custom development costs, this is by far the most cost-effective route to level up your learning and development capabilities fast.

    And we're so confident you'll get exponential value from your investment, we even offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you aren't completely satisfied.

    The bottom line? This solution pays for itself extraordinarily fast—and equips your organization with an extensible platform that will scale with your needs for years to come.

    Let's connect to discuss budget particulars and show how affordable getting started really is!
