Totara LMS Pricing
Why is an Totara LMS competitor such as Acorn LMS, telling you Totara’s pricing? Well. We know how damn hard it can be to find the information.
Totara LMS pricing (external source):
Totara LMS cost (their own pricing page):
When you go to the Totara LMS pricing page on their website, there is in fact no pricing on the page that says it gives you exactly that. They use a reseller model, meaning you have many steps to go to ascertain pricing from a local representative. We looked at only 5 of their 90 resellers, not one had published pricing.

PS. Why we believe LMS pricing transparency is important, and what it tells you about the experience to come
By not publishing pricing, we believe it makes it all about the seller versus what you, as a potential buyer, need to do in your due diligence.
The counter argument Totara LMS could make is:
- We offer bespoke pricing dependent on use cases, volume of users and integration requirements.
- Purchasing a LMS is an enterprise decision with a great level of complexity that needs to be scoped out.
- We want to ensure we give you the best possible price to ensure good customer ROI.
In reality, the difference between companies like us here at Acorn LMS that offer LMS cost transparency and companies like Totara LMS that don’t offer pricing transparency is our chosen sales models.
And it’s important to know the difference between them, because this is the experience you will get:

We’re buyers too, heck we’re humans too, and we simply choose to publish pricing as it’s the right thing to do by you.
And the question we put to you is this, if they start the experience with lack of transparency, what will the relationship look like ongoing?
