These are the ones usually handled by the most well-known Learning Management Systems:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Pay Per User: <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can acquire the LMS paying for a specific number of users. This payment method is useful for companies that know the exact number of users that would be taking the eLearning content. This pricing plan works if training in your company is mandatory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Pay Per Active Users: <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The users that would be taking the courses could vary with the passing of the weeks and this also influences the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/lms-pricing\">price of the LMS software<\/a>. Contrary to the previous price model, the payment by active users offers the possibility to pay, not for all the user registered, just for active users. You will only be charged for the users that log into the system and take the courses during the pay period.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Licensing:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This payment method lets you pay an LMS license for a year or month, with an unlimited amount of users, no matter if they are constantly active or coming and going in the LMS. The Learning Management System comes with the usual features as part of the license along with support, training times and other specifications. Any custom work could be an extra charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>One Single Payment:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one payment model normally applies when the software company develops an On-Premise or Self-Hosted LMS that adapts only to that client\u2019s needs. It comes with support and some months of guarantee to make sure that the system works correctly. The LMS would be host in the client\u2019s server.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Free LMS:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good LMS company usually offers a free version that the client can test. It is normally a basic LMS System, with some limitations, where the user can play and try the main features. Paradiso offers a Free LMS as a great option for beginners or even small companies that require simple training with a great eLearning tool. <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingps.paradisosolutions.com\/best-cloud-based-lms\">Paradiso LMS<\/a> is one of the fullest free versions of Learning Management Systems including these features with up to 50 users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the chance to speak with one of our eLearning experts and receive personalized attendance by sending an email to sales@paradisosolutions.com<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221;
