Which LifterLMS Bundle Do You Need? Earth vs Universe vs Infinity by Use Case

Earth, Universe, and Infinity are the three premium LifterLMS bundles on the pricing page.

The Earth Bundle covers one site and adds the payment add-ons to the free plugin.

The Universe Bundle covers five sites and adds the Sky Pilot theme, the Aircraft page builder, the email marketing integrations, the form integrations, and launch tools.

The Infinity Bundle covers unlimited sites and adds the 15 advanced add-ons, including Assignments, Advanced Quizzes, Groups, Continuing Education, and Private Site.

Ideally you pick the best LifterLMS bundle for you by what you need to do, not by price alone.

We looked at the people who bought their first LifterLMS bundle in 2026. The most common question our team answers before a sale is some version of “which bundle has the quiz, the assignment, or the group feature I need?“

So here is the answer, organized the way you think about it… by the LMS you are designing and building…

Every plan includes the core LifterLMS plugin, which already gives you unlimited courses, unlimited memberships, unlimited students, quizzes, certificates, and achievement badges.

You are never paying for the basics. You are paying for the layer on top if you need more advanced capabilities in your LMS platform.

Start With Three Questions

Before you look at a single feature list, answer these 3 questions…

1. How many live sites will run LifterLMS?

Earth covers one. Universe covers five. Infinity covers as many as you want.

Only live sites count, so your staging, development, and test sites are free on every plan, and you can move a license from one live site to another by deactivating and reactivating.

If you are an agency or a WordPress professional building for clients, this question alone usually puts you in Universe or Infinity. If you are one expert with one school, Earth is usually enough on this question.

2. Who is paying you, and how?

A student paying with a card needs Stripe or PayPal. A student who also buys your books, kits, or coaching needs WooCommerce. A company paying for 40 seats needs Groups.

Earth is enough for most ecommerce needs. However Infinity is needed for Group buying capabilities where a group buys access to a course, courses, or membership for multiple people at once.

3. What do you need beyond the core LifterLMS plugin?

Write down the three things you cannot launch without. Then find them in the add-on table below.

If one of them is Assignments, Advanced Quizzes, Groups, Course Cohorts, Continuing Education, Custom Fields, Events, Private Site, or Social Learning, you need the Infinity Bundle plan.

Your feature needs decide the best bundle plan fit for you.

Earth Bundle: One Site, Paid Enrollment

Earth is the right call when you are one person (or one small practice) selling courses or memberships on one site and you do not need anything from the advanced list.

Who bought Earth this year… yoga and pilates studios moving classes online, a feng shui school, a wedding dance course, a Japanese language school, a home-buying education site, a back pain recovery program, and dozens of coaches with a signature program.

About half of the people who bought a bundle in 2026 chose the Earth Bundle.

What you get beyond the free core learning management system with the Earth Bundle:

  • Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.Net for one-time and recurring payments
  • the optional WooCommerce integration, so courses sit next to your physical and digital products
  • Cart Abandonment Recovery, which brings back visitors who left checkout
  • Name Your Price for pay-what-you-want, donation, and sliding-scale enrollment

If you run a sliding-scale practice, a ministry, or a community program, Name Your Price is in the cheapest bundle on purpose.

Where Earth runs out: the moment you want students to submit work, grade essays, enroll a company’s team, run a cohort, or hide the entire website and learning portal behind a login.

Universe Bundle: The Full Design and Marketing Stack

Universe is Earth plus everything you need to make the site look and sell like a professional training platform, across up to five sites.

Who bought Universe this year… coaching academies, nonprofits delivering training, a wedding planner business school, a K-8 science curriculum, a family office university, a Scottish farm advisory service, WordPress agencies building a client’s first learning site, and many more.

What Universe adds:

  • Sky Pilot, our modern beautiful LMS theme, and Aircraft, the page builder built for course sites
  • Mailchimp and Kit integrations, so every enrollment lands in your email tool with the right tag
  • Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, and WPForms integrations for custom registration and in-lesson forms
  • Twilio integration for text message notifications and text-to-enroll
  • The Powerpack graphic design tools, and the weekly Office Hours Mastermind (a live Zoom call where you can screen share your site and get real-time help)

Universe is the plan we label Most Popular on the pricing page, and the reason is that most creators do not have a designer, an email automation person, and a WordPress developer on call. Universe is those three people in a package.

Infinity Bundle: Every Add-On, Unlimited Sites, Built for Professional Organizations

Infinity is the plan for anyone who has to prove learning happened.

Who bought Infinity this year: a nursing continuing education academy, a chiropractic CE provider licensed in 70 states, a NASBA-registered CPA education company, a state pension board training its trustees, a law enforcement training program, a cybersecurity compliance trainer, a property tax software company onboarding customers, several nonprofits running leadership programs, and many more.

More than half of Infinity buyers are organizations, not individuals.

Infinity adds the 15 advanced add-ons:

  • Assignments and Advanced Quizzes, for submitted work, essays, and manually graded exams
  • Continuing Education, for credits, hours, expiring certificates, and the reports an accrediting body asks for
  • Groups and Course Cohorts, for selling by the seat to companies and running classes that start and finish together
  • Custom Fields, for a license number or employee ID at registration
  • Private Site and Private Areas, for internal training and one-to-one coaching space
  • Events, for live virtual or in-person sessions inside a course or membership
  • Social Learning, Notes, Advanced Videos, and PDFs, for engagement and portable records
  • Advanced Coupons and Gifts, for volume discounts, URL coupons, and gift purchases

Plus you get the LifterLMS Office Hours Mastermind access, unlimited live sites, and three support accounts so your developer and your program manager can both open support tickets.

If you only need one of those add-ons on one site, you can buy it a la carte. But in most cases, people need more than 1 advanced add-on and go for the Infinity Bundle to get the best price and the peace of mind of having access to everything.

Which add-ons come with which bundle?

Every add-on name links to its product page in our store, where you can learn about the add-on details, watch the overview video, and read the related documentation.

Basic quizzes, certificates, achievements, memberships, and unlimited courses and students are in the free core LifterLMS plugin and are included in every bundle plan, so they are not in this table.

Match Your Use Case

Here is the shortcut, built from what people actually bought in 2026.

  • Coach or expert with one signature program: Earth. Move to Universe when you want Sky Pilot and email automation.
  • Studio, gym, or practice moving classes online: Earth, with WooCommerce if you also sell physical products with shipping requirements. Universe if you want the full design stack.
  • Course creator who sells on more than one site, or an agency building for clients: Universe for up to five live sites, Infinity for unlimited.
  • Continuing education, certification, or exam prep: Infinity. You need Advanced Quizzes, Continuing Education, Custom Fields, and PDFs, and those only come together in Infinity.
  • Nonprofit, church, or ministry delivering training: Earth if the training is free and simple, Universe for a professional school with email automation, Infinity when you run cohorts, Events, or need Groups for partner organizations.
  • Company training employees, dealers, or customers: Infinity. Private Site hides the platform, Groups manages teams, and Custom Fields captures the employee data your HR system wants.
  • Membership community with courses inside: Universe for most. Infinity if you want Social Learning (community) and Private Areas (coaching).
  • Selling courses to companies by the seat: Infinity. Groups is the feature, and it is Infinity only.

If you are still unsure, take the five-question Help Me Choose a Plan quiz. It asks about your project and hands you a bundle recommendation in under a minute.

Then run the sandbox demo if you want to touch the features first and play around on a test website. The sandbox demo gives you a temporary site with the Infinity Bundle and every add-on installed plus demo content for $1, so you can test the exact feature you are worried about before you pay for your bundle plan.

You can always upgrade to a bigger bundle later.

You cannot really pick wrong. You can always upgrade to a bigger bundle later from inside your account on the LifterLMS website.

When you upgrade from one bundle to the next, you receive prorated credit for the current value of what you already paid. And you get the 50% first-year discount again on the bigger bundle. Buying Earth today and Infinity in March does not punish you. It just means you paid for the months you used.

Every plan carries a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee.

And if your platform is here to stay, the Infinity Bundle is also available as a Lifetime License with no renewals.

Schools, agencies, and government bodies can pay by invoice or purchase order. Ask our team for a quote and the vendor paperwork before checkout if needed.

Three Mistakes We See Every Month

1) Buying the Earth Bundle, then buying more add-ons one at a time. While you can purchase the Earth Bundle and individual add-ons, it usually works out better for you financially to choose the bundle plan that has all the benefits and features you need.

2) Assuming quizzes and certificates need an upgrade. They do not. Quizzes, certificates, and achievements are in the free core LMS system (included with any purchase). What needs Infinity is manual grading, essay questions, and submitted assignments.

3) Picking a bundle before choosing a payment path. If a company (or any kind of group) is paying for your training on behalf of many learners, you need Groups, and Groups is in the Infinity Bundle plan. Decide who pays first.

Which LifterLMS Bundle Fits Your Project

Ask the 3 questions:

  • Count your live sites that need an LMS.
  • Name who pays for your training.
  • List the features you cannot launch without.

Then buy the smallest bundle that answers all three, knowing the upgrade path gives your money back as credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which add-ons come with which bundle?

Earth includes the six ecommerce add-ons. Universe adds the design, email marketing integrations, forms integrations, and messaging add-ons, 17 in all + Office Hours. Infinity adds the 15 more advanced add-ons and Office Hours, 33 in all. The full add-on table above lists every one with a link to its product page.

Do I need a bundle for quizzes and certificates?

No. Quizzes, certificates, and achievement badges are part of the free core plugin, so every plan has them. Advanced Quizzes (more quiz question types with manual grading capabilities), Assignments, and Continuing Education credit tracking are advanced add-ons included only in Infinity.

Can I upgrade from Earth to Universe or Infinity later?

Yes. You receive prorated credit for the current value of your earlier purchase, and the 50% first-year discount applies again to the bigger bundle. You can upgrade directly inside your account on the LifterLMS website.

What counts as an active site?

A live site is your public facing production active website. Staging, development, and test sites are unlimited on every plan. Earth covers one live site, Universe five live sites, and Infinity gives you unlimited live sites.

How do I get Groups without buying Infinity?

Groups is sold a la carte for one site at $299 per year.

Is there a Lifetime License for Earth or Universe?

No. The Lifetime License is available for the Infinity Bundle only.

Can a nonprofit or school get a discount?

Yes. Nonprofits and anyone facing a financial hurdle can apply for a partial software scholarship on the first year of any LifterLMS product. Schools, agencies, and government bodies can also pay by invoice or purchase order.

What happens if I do not renew?

Your site keeps working. LifterLMS and every add-on are open source and keep functioning when a license lapses. What stops is add-on updates, security upgrades, and support access.
