Why most "free" tools aren't free for a team
Standalone tools in this category typically charge $3-10 per learner / month, so a 30-person team on a standalone LMS can pay $1,080 to $3,600 a year, before content fees. Free tiers exist, but they hit a seat cliff: free up to a handful of users, then per-seat billing for life. Ctrl+Grow takes the per-seat fee off the table entirely.
-
Most LMS tools bill per active user: you pay every month for anyone who logs in. The Ctrl+Grow Free plan has no per-active-user meter and no per-seat fee.
-
Free LMS tiers usually cap you at 5 or 10 learners or a handful of courses. On the Ctrl+Grow Free plan the whole team learns with no cap.
-
It is hosted for you. Open-source options like Moodle are free only if you run and maintain the server yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Is the LMS really free with Ctrl+Grow?
Yes. The learning management system is free on the Ctrl+Grow Free plan with no per-seat fees and no seat cap, so training your whole team costs nothing. The Free plan is a real $0 signup with no card. Paid plans ($97/mo, $897/yr) add more tools like ticketing, a team layer, and website creation.
How much does an LMS usually cost per learner?
Standalone LMS platforms typically charge $3 to $10 per learner per month. For a 30-person team that is roughly $1,080 to $3,600 a year. Ctrl+Grow charges nothing per seat because training is free on the Free plan.
Is there a limit on how many learners I can add?
No. There are no per-seat fees and no learner cap, so your whole team is in without the cost rising as you grow. That is the main difference from free LMS tools that limit learners or courses.
What training does Ctrl+Grow include?
It includes short, applied AI training videos tied to the tools in the platform, plus a growing library of founder-to-founder courses you watch then do. You can also deliver your own courses to your team through the same place.
Do I need technical skills to set up the LMS?
No. You do not configure or host anything, and a human on the team can help you get training running for your team.
Can I get a custom version deployed on my own server?
Yes. Beyond the hosted free version you get on your plan, the Ctrl+Grow team can shape the tool to your workflow and deploy that custom build on your own server for a one-time cost, so you own and run it with full control of your data. Code ownership comes as an add-on on top of a custom build, not a standalone download: you own the version built for you, not generic source. It is a higher tier on the value ladder, so the simplest way in is to talk to us about what you need.
