Which Coursebox plan do I need? Features by plan & upgrade triggers
Not sure which plan unlocks the feature you're after? Many Coursebox features are tied to a specific plan. This guide maps the most-asked features to the plan you need, and what you gain by upgrading. For exact, current pricing always check coursebox.ai/pricing.
On an earlier plan? Plan names and inclusions changed when we moved to Free, Creator, Pro, Pro + LMS and Enterprise. If you are on an earlier plan such as Plus, Business or standalone LMS, your subscription continues unchanged and you keep everything it included — so you may already have features this article lists under a higher plan. Nothing has been removed from your account.
Feature lookup: which plan unlocks what
What you want to do | Plan you need | Why it's worth it |
|---|---|---|
Remove the “Created with Coursebox” watermark | Creator and above | Present your course as your own. Any paid plan removes it — you do not need a higher plan for this. |
Keep 100% of your course sales | Creator and above | Free takes a commission on sales made through Stripe; paid plans do not. |
Issue certificates to learners (unlimited, auto-sent on completion, customisable per course) | Creator and above | Recognise completion automatically and give learners something to share. Not included on Free. |
Export your course as PDF, HTML or Dynamic SCORM | Creator and above | Deliver your course inside another LMS, or hand it over as a file. Export is not included on Free. |
Unlimited courses | Creator and above | Free is limited to 3 mini courses; every paid plan is unlimited. |
Automate enrolments with Zapier | Creator and above | Connect Coursebox to Calendly, Stripe, Google Sheets, HubSpot and hundreds of other apps so learners are invited and enrolled automatically, with no CSV uploads. You do not need Pro + LMS for Zapier. |
Your own branded portal — your logo, colours and fonts | Pro and above | Make the platform match your brand look and feel. You do not need Pro + LMS for a branded portal — Pro includes it. Pro + LMS adds your own domain on top. |
Edit the login screen and portal settings | Pro and above | Control what learners see before they sign in. |
Export Self-hosted SCORM (standalone package for offline or closed networks) | Pro and above | Run the course with no connection back to Coursebox — for air-gapped sites, USB delivery, or IT policies that block external calls. It also keeps working if you later cancel. |
LTI 1.3 and SCORM import | Pro and above | Launch courses inside another LMS with grade passback, and bring existing SCORM content into Coursebox. |
Use your own custom domain | Pro + LMS | Host courses at your own URL (e.g. courses.yourcompany.com). Your portal is already branded on Pro — this puts it on your own domain instead of your Coursebox subdomain. |
Edit learner details / manage the Users section | Pro + LMS | Manage and update your learners directly instead of asking support. |
Groups | Pro + LMS | Organise learners into cohorts, enrol a whole group at once, or sell group memberships. |
Gamification — badges, leaderboard and points | Pro + LMS | Motivate learners with rewards and visible ranking. On Free, Creator and Pro, Achievements shows Certificates only — there is no Badges tab on those plans. |
Pathways (multi-course tracks, created from Achievements → Badges) | Pro + LMS | Group related courses into a guided sequence so learners always know what to take next. |
Resource library, calendar, announcements and the Q&A forum | Pro + LMS | Share files, schedule events and run discussion alongside your courses. |
Basic reports | Every plan, including Free | See who is enrolled, how far learners have progressed and their assessment scores. |
Advanced reports: Reports dashboard, CSV exports and scheduled reports | Pro + LMS | See course health and learners at risk, open course and learner reports, download reports as a CSV and have them emailed on a schedule. Group, Resources and Newsfeed reports also need Pro + LMS. See Report Management. |
API access (Open API) | Pro + LMS (add-on) or Enterprise (included) | Connect Coursebox to your own systems and automate enrolments. |
More people building and managing courses | Extra admin seats on Pro and above | Every paid plan includes one admin seat; on Pro and above you can add more at any time without changing plan. Each extra seat also adds a full AI credit allowance. |
SSO / SAML login | Enterprise (paid add-on, USD $3,000/year, contract only) | Let your team and learners sign in with your company credentials. SSO cannot be added to a self-serve plan. |
Multiple portals, uptime SLA, chosen hosting region, migration service | Enterprise (contract only) | A tailored, supported rollout at organisational scale. |
A signed agreement, MSA, DPA, SLA or a completed security questionnaire | Enterprise (contract only) | Procurement, legal and security review are handled as part of Enterprise contracting. |
Pro or Pro + LMS? Both include the same AI credit allowance, and both include your own branded portal — your logo, your colours and your login screen. Choose Pro for that branding plus delivering courses through another system (LTI, SCORM import, Self-Hosted SCORM). Choose Pro + LMS when you need to run a full learning platform on top of that portal — your own domain, learner and group management, pathways and gamification.
Moving down from Pro + LMS to Pro? You keep your courses and your branded portal. What you give up is your own domain, learner and group management, pathways, gamification, the resource library and calendar, and announcements and questions. See How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan? for the full what-you-keep and what-you-lose list.
How to upgrade
Click the Upgrade button on the right side of the top bar, then select the plan that unlocks what you need. You can also compare every plan side by side in Coursebox Plans Compared.
Enterprise is the exception. Enterprise features are not available through the Upgrade button. Enterprise is sold under a signed agreement with a minimum 2-year initial term, so it is arranged with our team rather than bought online. See Coursebox Enterprise for how it works, or Book an Enterprise Call.
