Before you choose
Match the platforms to your learners
Check whether a system supports the environments your learners use. Access is compared across web, API, Android, iOS, self-hosted and macOS options.
If mobile access matters, compare Android and iOS support separately rather than assuming a web system has a mobile app.
Compare plans and trial access
Review the free-plan status, listed starting price and any trial period. These options affect how you can evaluate a system before committing.
For Google Classroom, the listing shows a free plan, paid access from $6 per user per year and a 60-day trial.
Review learning controls
Compare learner limits, assessment tools and certificate support against the way you plan to deliver courses.
Check whether the system documents SSO support if sign-in needs to connect with an existing identity service.
Check APIs and licensing
API access can matter when the LMS must connect with other software. Compare the API field alongside the workflows you need to connect.
If you need to read or change code, look for an open-source option and review its licence.
