Companies Using WP Courseware

WP Courseware is a small product, and its numbers are small. Our October 2026 crawl counts a domain when a page on it loads the plugin's front-end script from /wp-content/plugins/wp-courseware/ or sets the course-notes settings object that script reads. That gives 897 domains, 15th of 60 in Learning Management (LMS), and 500 of them match a company record. The signal holds up. When I fetched a random 110 on 15 October, 100 loaded the plugin; 2 no longer resolve, 2 timed out, 4 showed bot or challenge pages and 2 loaded without it.

Small, paid and steady

WP Courseware has 0.93% of the category. LearnDash has 19,118 domains, about 21 times as many, and LifterLMS 2,304, about 2.6 times. WP Courseware has no free edition. Fly Plugins' product page (15 October 2026) sells three yearly licences: $159 for 2 sites, $199 for 10 and $279 for 25, each with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Nearly every domain here is a site where someone bought a licence at some point.

Sales signal: a paid-only plugin filters out hobby installs. Expect owners who budget for software, even if most are very small.

How the licence works

Two details in Fly Plugins' FAQ shape how to read the count. The smallest licence covers two sites, a live site and a staging copy, and one licence can cover up to 25. And the plugin keeps working after the licence year ends; renewing buys updates and support. So 897 domains is not 897 paying accounts this year. Some are likely lapsed licences still running, and some buyers hold several domains.

Sales signal: lapsed licences are an opening for rivals and for agencies. A site that stopped renewing is running a plugin that no longer gets WordPress compatibility updates.

A flat line

The chart reads 716 domains in June 2026, 833 in July, 867 in August, 893 in September and 897 in October. The early step is ours: the set of domains we crawl turns over every month, dead sites out and new ones in, and our detection picked up more pages that load the plugin. From August on, the count barely moves.

"WP Courseware is a steady, paid niche of about 900 sites. Nothing in our data shows it growing, and nothing shows it collapsing either." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: work this list once and keep it. There's no growth curve to time.

Who runs it

78.89% of matched companies with a known size employ 1 to 10 people, and only 7 employ more than 200. The base is older than on the hosted course platforms: 50.66% were founded in the 2010s, 23.36% in the 2000s and only 10.2% in the 2020s, against 24.22% on Thinkific's profile. Teaching rows make up 26.26% of the industry table. The rest is small businesses teaching as a sideline. Walker Products, the auto-parts maker founded in 1946, links a training centre and an O2 sensor certification from its main site, and Allmatic, the German vice maker, does the same for its training centre. Herniamesh, an Italian surgical-mesh maker, and Australia's Port of Portland load the plugin too. Most of these sites run it on the main domain: only 77 of the 899 live domains carry WP Courseware solely on a subdomain, and Skillcrush's learn.skillcrush.com is one of them.

Sales signal: for many of these companies training is a side activity. Talk to them about dealer and customer education, not about selling courses.

American and British, with a Spanish and Dutch tail

The United States has 182 matched companies, the United Kingdom 66, Australia 26 and Canada 24, so 298 of the 500 are in those four countries. Spain (37) and the Netherlands (26) stand out in a list this small. Below them the counts drop to 19 or fewer per country.

Sales signal: keep campaigns in English and aim at the US and UK first. Spain and the Netherlands are worth a small test, not a localised programme.

No switching to report

We found no switching big enough to publish. On the same domain, WP Courseware runs with LearnDash 6 times, LearnPress 5 times and Tutor LMS twice, and never with LifterLMS. 88 domains have dropped it on at least one hostname since we began tracking on 16 March 2026, and 10 of those still run it on another hostname. Seven domains also run a Teachable school somewhere on the same domain. Those numbers are too small to call a trend in either direction.

"Eighty-eight drops in seven months on a base of about 900 sites is quiet. If WP Courseware customers are leaving for LearnDash, it isn't happening in volume." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: a migration pitch to these sites needs a reason beyond features, such as a lapsed licence or a site rebuild. Without one, they tend to stay put.

The stack around it

WordPress is on 99.78% of the 899 domains live when we pulled the stack. 488 of them run WooCommerce, more than half, even though WP Courseware takes PayPal and Stripe itself, so many owners either sell courses through their store or sell other products beside them. Elementor is on 30.14%, Divi on 13.68% and Thrive Architect on 4.45%. Google Analytics runs on 62.63% and MonsterInsights on 7.34%.

Sales signal: WooCommerce extension sellers and Divi or Elementor add-on makers will find a fit here. The typical site is a small business's main WordPress site with a course section bolted on.

Key takeaways

1. 897 domains, 15th of 60, about a twenty-first of LearnDash's footprint.

2. Paid-only, sold in 2, 10 and 25-site licences that keep working after they lapse.

3. A very small, established base: 78.89% at 1 to 10 staff and 10.2% founded in the 2020s.

4. More than half the sites also run WooCommerce.

5. No measurable switching to or from rival plugins.
