Litmos uses flat annual tiers rather than per-user pricing. Foundation starts at $8K per year. Platinum starts at $15K per year and adds advanced administration, authoring, compliance and engagement features. Platinum AI, with embedded AI for content creation and skill gaps, is contact sales. Both published prices are starting figures, and the user counts behind them are not stated. Some features are sold as add-ons with no published prices. Prices are quoted per year, and renewal terms are not published.

What Litmos really costs
Litmos publishes a starting price but few details about how the bill grows, so the real cost depends on the quote. Use the questions below to turn a sales conversation into a number you can compare.
Add-ons and extras to budget for
- Add-ons available for selected features, prices not published.
Questions to ask about price
- Is there a minimum number of seats or a minimum annual spend?
- What is the discount for annual billing, and can we start monthly?
- How much can the price rise at renewal, and is the increase capped in the contract?
- Are there one-time costs for implementation, onboarding or data migration?
Is Litmos worth the price?
Good value for mid-size companies with compliance and customer training needs and a five-figure budget, where a flat annual tier can beat paying per learner. It is awkward for small teams with budgets below $8K per year, and the unpublished add-on prices and AI tier mean the final bill can land above the headline starting price.
Worth it if
- Mid-size companies with compliance and customer training needs and a five-figure budget.
Look elsewhere if
- Small teams with budgets below $8K per year.
Pricing details most reviews leave out
- Ownership history: CallidusCloud (2011), SAP (2018), Francisco Partners (2022)
- SAP sold it because it overlapped with SAP SuccessFactors Learning.
- SSO, custom domains and sandbox appear in comparison table; plan mapping not clear on page.
- AI sits in a separate top tier with no public price.
Our verdict on Litmos
Litmos is one of the few corporate learning management systems that publishes entry prices: Foundation starts at $8K per year and Platinum at $15K per year. A third tier, Platinum AI, adds embedded AI for content creation and skill gaps and is quote only. There is no free plan. The number of learners behind the starting prices is not stated, so the real bill depends on what the vendor attaches to those figures.
On G2, Litmos holds 4.3 from 698 reviews. Reviewers like the responsive support, the easy interface and the compliance and course creation tools, while some admins find reporting frustrating. Ownership moved from CallidusCloud (2011) to SAP (2018) and then to Francisco Partners in 2022, which is worth raising when you negotiate a multi-year term.
