LifterLMS is another WordPress plugin route, built specifically for memberships and subscription courses. Add quizzes with pass/fail gates between lessons, auto-generate certificates when students complete courses, and track grades and progress through a teacher dashboard. It pairs well with the membership ecosystem around WordPress.
The plugin philosophy means you own everything and rely on your own WordPress hosting. You'll configure payments through Stripe or PayPal and lean on WordPress plugins for email marketing. It's cheaper than managed platforms, but requires more hands-on setup and maintenance on your end.
