Whenever I’ve encountered any issues, their team has been incredibly responsive and helpful, providing clear and effective solutions every time. If you’re looking for a powerful and reliable LMS, I can’t recommend LifterLMS enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

LifterLMS makes building and selling online courses simple and effective, even for non-techy folks like me.

The support team and community are absolutely amazing—

they're always been there to help and helped empower me to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

It's VERY capable, which means there's a lot to get your head around.

Luckily there's support, community and instructional tools to help you get where you want to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's not enough to make a course.

My clients need my course to help THEM succeed by virtue of it.

LifterLMS helps me do just that, with management tools that help me monitor my client's progress; gamification elements that help me inspire my clients to progress through my trainings for them; and tools that help me create, deploy and maintain my courses.

Over time LifterLMS continues to evolve, developed by creators passionate about course developers like me and learning generally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

Wow! The best customer service ever encountered! 🩵🩵🩵🩵

I sell online sports training/coaching. I hesitated a lot between different platforms and opted for LifterLms (price and compatibility with WordPress). I really do not regret my choice.

I had major difficulties finalizing my site (related to my lack of experience). Despite the tutorials offered to get a handle on the tool, I was really stuck, which prevented me from putting my site online.

So I wrote to customer service, which was EX-CEP-TIO-NAL over the weeks 🙏🙏

✅ Personalized help

✅ Video captures to help me understand the operations

✅ Screenshots

✅ And great responsiveness

CONGRATULATIONS to the whole team. And thank you for your kindness, your attentiveness, and your professionalism.

I highly recommend it. 👌🏽👌🏽 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

Nothing in particular except the absence of tutorials in French. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

The features and user interface are not good. Theres nothing to dislike about this plugin and the team, behind it. There is no suggestion it would be great if they provide resources on instructional design. Its user interface is not good to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

Despite the tutorials they provide I found it difficult to navigate the platform due to my experience. This hindered my ability to launch my website successfully. The weekly mastermind call they provide is valuable. The platform lacks user guidance for beginners. It expects users to have a plan and community in place before starting, which is daunting for those starting from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform facilitates course delivery and management it lacks to improve its integration with email services for an experience. LifterLMS effectively unable of creating and managing courses effortlessly. It provides a platform that does not allows me to create and organize my course content.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

When you choose LifterLMS, you're not just getting a great software solution to build and curate your learning content powerhouse, you're getting an all-star team stacked with people who will go to the mat to ensure your success. Chris, Thomas, and the rest of the team will not let you down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

There is nothing to dislike about this incredible plugin and team. If I were to make a recommendation, it would be for the team to provide more education about instructional design and how to make a course people will actually want to take. The software is not much use if you can't make a good course! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LifterLMS:

Get the infinity bundle. The weekly mastermind call you will get access to is worth its weight in gold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build our learning academy with LifterLMS which consists of tutorials and courses. It takes a few minutes at most to spin up a new course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about LifterLMS?

The Course Builder is drag-and-drop, which is great, but on top of that, it's easy to visualize your lessons inside the course. The interface is very powerful while allowing a simple overview. I love the balance they have struck.

We built our whole website on top of LifterLMS and I felt like I must be missing something (I wasn't): it was so easy. I created a course website in a couple of days. It's full-featured, easy for instructors to update, and I'm thrilled with the result.

The LifterLMS team are obviously on top of all the best practices, and it shows in their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

I was not sure when to apply a tag vs. define a category for courses. This isn't a LifterLMS issue, though! I'm not great with taxonomy.

I asked support, and they recommended the category approach, which has worked really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a way to guide users through complex functionality without overwhelming them. I also wanted to showcase different integrations and how some courses related to lessons in other courses.

Our users have found this to be a great way to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

I have been a LifterLMS user for years while also engaged corporately in other tools for learning. It was LifterLMS that blew me away with flexibility, value, and support. I have used Moodle, Udemy, Lynda, Systems Simulation, Bridge, and LearnUpon as well as researched countless others. In a non-WordPress environment, Moodle served well but did not display an engaging UI without substantial customization. With Lifter LMS and a decent page-builder, I can make engaging Learning and Membership sites with a fraction of the time and have ready-to-go functionality with other web-tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

Truthfully, it's a feature of the platform. There are so many options in the use of Lifter that you can get distracted and get off mission. At first, you think "I just need to get a couple of courses up", but if you aren't careful you will end up building in Social elements, Sales Funnels, and automation that may extend way past the original mission. It's totally awesome that the option is there - but it takes discipline to stay on course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LifterLMS:

The advice I give my own clients at Mañana No Mas! when building their Membership and Learning sites... have a plan. Know what you want to build and take measures to grow that community prior to the actual site build. When you have a plan, it makes the process much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Primarily budget. I have used many offerings that were way outside the scope of the budget I keep with LifterLMS. When I compare one of my premium Lifter packages at retail (Platform, additional third-party plugins, and killer hosting) of around $5,000.00 / year to another corporate budget I am familiar with... I can't help but smile. I know a large company paying over $400,000.00 / year for an outdated SCORM platform. The value of Lifter in this comparison can be the difference between corporate growth or reorganization with Reduction in Force. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LifterLMS?

I've used various platforms for my courses before. They were all fine, right up to when they wouldn't let me do something I wanted to do. With LifterLMS I've never hit a "can't do that" wall. I get to build the environment *I* want, and never feel the platform is forcing me into what *it* wants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LifterLMS?

It took me a while to figure out how it all worked. There are constraints that come with being a WP plugin. So... I guess it's hard to create a more intuitive user interface. No problem now... but I remember struggling a bit at the very beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LifterLMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Makes it super-easy to deliver multiple courses. Easy to manage. Easy to track payments. Easy to integrate into my email service etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
