Top Rated LearnDash Alternatives
Learndash has many superb features but if I was to pick a couple, I'd say firstly the speed with which you can deploy a Course complete with Lessons, Topics, Quizzes and Assignment uploads is a huge time saver. There's even a setup wizard now which streamlines the whole process even further.
The second feature I like best is the recent design upgrade that turned Learndash from being a fully functional e-learning platform into a slick learning environment that presents an extremely clear and pleasant experience for students.
I would also add that the support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially, in the early days, there was quite a learning curve to building a course, however, this has been resolved with LearnDash updates that have streamlined the course building process to the point that once you have the content, you can build a course in only a matter of minutes.
There was also an issue in the early day's re-using course assets such as quizzes and lessons across different courses, but again this has been resolved with version updates and is a real timesaver making multiple courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was pretty easy to install in my current wordpress site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't work. The registration uses recaptcha that conflicts with the WordFence recaptcha. The only help I got was to turn off recaptcha on the entire site which would leave our site vulnerable to attacks. There was almost no problem solving and critical thinking when it came to helping me get my site live and allowing people to register.
Even though i cannot launch and use the site I paid for, I am not able to get my money back.
In addition, the plugin is incredibly slow when you are building a site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've built a couple of websites with LearnDash now, and I've got to say that customer support is one of my favorite features. Just recently, Chandni, from their support team, helped walk my client through which plugins and addons we would want based on their feature requirements. As for LearnDash itself, the platform is incredibly easy to use. It is also a plugin and not a theme; which is great because themes are generally more of a pain to customize and will often conflict with other plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside to using LearnDash in my experience is the loading time of some of the pages on the Wordpress dashboard, but that is also very server dependent. That being said it can take a while to upload courses purely based off that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well documented, any questions can be answered by the documentation or tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not experience any downsides or problems while working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lots of ways to do common things like couponing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some things like course bundling and shopping carts are unnecessarily complex; and when integrated into CMSs, it is hard to track class enrollments with an external tool like GTM because everything is hidden in LD classes and course codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
LearnDash is a power-packed LMS plugin that caters to all types of LMS requirements. It is a very user-friendly, lightweight and robust system that provides a seamless end-user experience in online learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not disappointed but would have loved to have in-built SMS notifications as part of the LMS since most other LMS products have this feature. Apart from this there is absolutely nothing that you will dislike about LearnDash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I liked the most is that without having a great technical knowledge, it is very easy to create an academy in Wordpress. In addition to all its extra addons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Aesthetically, it has quite a bit of room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like everything about LearnDash. I would say that I like the drag-and-drop builder functionality the most, as it is by far the most useful feature. It allows my team to see how their course will look as they construct it, so that everything is perfect when it is released. This allows you to see how your courses will look before they go online, and it also allows you to connect everything in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing that I could dislike. Provides functionality and a wide range of customization options too. Works well with other plugins running on my site as well. The pricing is also decent; in fact, great, for everything it offers the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
