HOW WE SCORE

Vendors can pay for placement. They can't buy a score.

Every Index Score comes from the same place: we research each platform's features, pricing, plans and documentation, weigh it against what creators report, and grade it on the things buyers actually compare. Some vendors pay for featured placement; we label them PARTNER, and it never moves their number.

01
Ease of use & course building
How quickly a creator can build and publish a course, how intuitive the builder looks, and how polished the finished course is.
02
Marketing & monetisation
Checkout, transaction fees, upsells, email and funnels — how well the platform actually helps you sell and keep your revenue.
03
Student experience & engagement
The course player, quizzes and certificates, community and live features, and how the whole thing feels to a student.
04
Price & transparency
Real pricing and fees, paid placements labelled, scores never for sale.

How we research each platform

For every platform we work through the same things a creator weighs before committing: the course builder and how lessons, quizzes and certificates are put together, the checkout and what the fees really cost, and the student experience on desktop and mobile. We read each vendor's plans and documentation closely and weigh it against aggregated user feedback, then judge ease of use, the number we weight most heavily, because it is the thing a feature list alone can never tell you.

Consistent scoring

Each platform is graded against the same fixed rubric across all four pillars, so no single reviewer's taste decides a ranking and the scores stay comparable between tools. We re-check pricing and fees regularly, because those change often.

What money can and can't do

EverythingLMS is reader-supported. Some links are affiliate links, and select vendors pay for featured placement — always labelled PARTNER. Neither ever changes a score or a rank. See our full disclosure.
