LearnDash

LearnDash is a paid learning management plugin for WordPress that adds courses, lessons, quizzes, certificates, drip schedules and progress tracking to a site.

Sites running LearnDash sell or deliver education: course creators and coaches, training companies, professional associations, universities and corporate training departments. Usually paired with a membership or e-commerce plugin, it indicates a WordPress site with real course revenue, a budget for premium plugins and a developer or agency maintaining it.

The 30,366 websites in this list are prospects for video hosting and streaming services, payment and subscription tools, membership and community plugins, quiz and certification add-ons, WordPress hosting and maintenance providers, course marketing agencies and competing LMS platforms, including hosted ones that pitch migration away from WordPress. A new LearnDash site has just launched a course business and is assembling its stack; a dropped site has moved its courses elsewhere or closed the programme.

LearnDash is active on 30,366 WordPress websites, which is 0.1% of all WordPress plugins detections we record. Websites running LearnDash are most often served from United States (12,965), Germany (2,720) and Netherlands (1,208), and .com, .org and .net are the most common domain endings.

Questions about LearnDash websites

How many websites use the LearnDash plugin?

As of November 2, 2026, 30,366 WordPress websites have LearnDash active on their homepage. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web.

Who buys lists of websites with LearnDash?

Vendors of competing or complementary WordPress plugins, themes and hosting, agencies that maintain WordPress sites, and SaaS products that integrate with LearnDash. A site that installed the plugin has a concrete need and an admin who makes software decisions.

Where are LearnDash websites hosted?

United States leads with 12,965 websites, followed by Germany (2,720) and Netherlands (1,208). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.

How do I find websites that just installed LearnDash?

The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw LearnDash for the first time in the last days, newest first; the Dropped tab lists the sites that removed it. Both lists download with a subscription and are refreshed every morning.

How do I get a list of websites using LearnDash?

A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 30,366 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. See pricing.

How does BetaScan detect LearnDash?

Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using LearnDash when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.

How can you tell a website uses LearnDash?

The homepage loads assets from /wp-content/plugins/sfwd-lms/, the plugin folder name, and course listings use learndash- or ld- class names and the sfwd-courses post type in URLs such as /courses/. Grids and templates from LearnDash add-ons leave similar prefixes. Our crawler recognises these paths and classes on the homepage, so sites that hide their courses behind a login may not be counted.

What can you sell to LearnDash users?

Services that a course business needs beyond the plugin: video hosting, payment processing and subscriptions, email marketing for students, community and forum software, certificate and gamification add-ons, WordPress hosting and support, and course launch or ad agencies. Hosted course platforms also target these sites, since every one of them has already proven it earns money from courses.

Is LearnDash used by large companies or small ones?

Both, with different motives. Solo creators and small training companies use it to sell courses to the public, while associations, universities and corporations use it for internal or member training on their existing WordPress sites. The small end dominates by count; the large end is identifiable by the organisation type and is often reachable through the rank filters.
