LearnDash: pricing overhauled to unified Essentials/Pro/Elite SaaS tiers
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of LearnDash's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: per-site plugin licenses ($199-$799/yr), Essential/Plus/Ultimate subs ($29-$79/mo), and standalone add-ons/bundles replaced by one license with unlimited sites/courses at Essentials $259/yr, Pro $399/yr, Elite $599/yr. In detail: Pricing restructured: per-site plugin licenses ($199-$799/yr), Essential/Plus/Ultimate subs ($29-$79/mo) + standalone add-ons/bundles replaced by unified Essentials/Pro/Elite tiers ($259/$399/$599/yr). Pulse files it as a packaging change (packaging change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Pro at $33.25 and Elite at $49.92.
This quarterly roll-up includes the change Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "LearnDash drops white-glove onboarding promise from Elite plan" (week of Jun 15, 2026, saved Jun 22, 2026). It also records changes none of that period did (packaging change), so Pulse counts it as a change of its own. LearnDash has been tracked since 2026-02-28.
In the same window Kajabi, Coursera, Udemy and Thinkific also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
