How much does an LMS cost in India?
By Bodhih Training Solutions, Bengaluru · UpdatedThe short answer
LMS cost in India depends on the number of seats, the features you need (SSO, automations, directory sync, API, competency reporting), the number of portals or branches, support level, and implementation work such as content migration. Pricing models include per-user, per-active-user and seat bands. Prices vary by vendor. As a published reference, the Bodhih LMS costs ₹99,000 a year plus GST for up to 50 seats, ₹2,90,000 for 200 and ₹8,90,000 for 1,000.
What drives the cost of an LMS?
Compare total annual cost, not the headline figure. These are the main drivers.
| Driver | What to check |
|---|---|
| Seats or users | Is it per registered user, per active user or a band? |
| Feature tier | Are SSO, automations and reporting in your tier or an upgrade? |
| Portals and branches | Do regional offices or client portals cost extra? |
| Integrations | SCIM, API, xAPI and LTI are often in higher tiers |
| Implementation | Setup, branding and content migration: included or charged? |
| Support and SLA | Standard support versus a named contact and SLA |
| Taxes and currency | Is GST extra? Is billing in INR? |
What pricing models do LMS vendors use?
Each model suits a different pattern of use.
- Per registered user: simple, but you pay for people who rarely log in
- Per active user: fairer for sporadic use, harder to budget
- Seat bands: a fixed annual price up to a seat limit, easy to budget
- Enterprise quote: custom terms for large or complex deployments

Questions people ask next
What is the cheapest Bodhih LMS plan?
The Launch band: up to 50 seats for ₹99,000 a year plus GST ($1,490 outside India), billed annually. It includes the core LMS, SCORM 1.2 and 2004, mixed content, branding, a custom domain, one branch and SCORM migration during onboarding.
Is GST included in LMS prices?
Bodhih LMS band prices exclude GST, which is charged at 18% in India. Always check whether a vendor’s quote includes GST so you compare like with like, and include it in your budget unless your organisation recovers it as input credit.
Does the Bodhih LMS charge for content migration?
No. Migration of existing SCORM content during onboarding is included in every band, from Launch to Enterprise. Ask any other vendor the same question, because migration is one of the costs most often left out of a first quote.
What does an enterprise LMS cost?
Enterprise pricing is usually quoted. For the Bodhih LMS, Enterprise covers 1,000+ seats and is quoted from ₹15,00,000 a year plus GST, with unlimited branches, LTI, data residency, an SLA and a named customer success manager.
Is per-user or seat-band pricing better?
Seat bands are easier to budget because the annual cost is fixed up to a limit. Per-user pricing can be cheaper when headcount is very small or fluctuates. Model your expected users over a year under each.
Can I pay for an LMS in US dollars?
Yes. Bodhih LMS bands are also priced in US dollars, from $1,490 a year for Launch to $12,900 for Scale, with Enterprise quoted from $22,000. Invoicing is available in both INR and USD, which suits organisations with teams outside India.
Does the LMS price include courses?
The LMS bands cover the platform. Bodhih’s online courses, such as the Applied AI courses, are priced separately per seat. You can also upload your own content and SCORM packages, or SCORM content bought from other providers, to the platform.
