The promotion of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to online education for cram schools and the education market. Even now that restrictions have been lifted, this trend is likely to continue unabated.
LMS (Learning Management System) is a membership site. It cannot be thought of separately from membership functions. For this reason, our company has been working on LMS from the early stage. Specifically,
LearnDash
LifterLMS
LearnPress
TutorLMS
MasterStudy LMS
Ultimate Learning Pro
LMS by Masteriyo
Academy LMS
All of these are translated into Japanese and the latest versions are always tested and verified.
The older LMSs have been updated many times and are robust, feature-rich, and stable, while the newer LMSs have a wide range of personalities, introducing unique functions and easy-to-use features to compensate for the shortcomings of earlier plugins.
In this situation, our top recommendation is "LearnDash."
Although it is a paid plugin, it has the longest history and is the most stable. And most importantly, it has a proven track record and is trusted, and is the most integrated with various plugins.
In other words, it has excellent extensibility and development capabilities, such as integrating and using "BuddyBoss" and "LearnDash" in conjunction with each other, or using a paid membership plugin in conjunction with "LearnDash."
When it comes to the functionality and design of the LMS alone, other plugins, including "TutorLMS," excel in some areas, but overall "LearnDash" still wins.
However, this is similar to the difference between using an iPhone or a Xiaomi.
The reason I know them so well is because I have been using and testing all of the above plugins for a long time. In that sense, I can confidently say that I am the most knowledgeable about WordPress LMS in Japan.

"TutorLMS" is an advanced and groundbreaking LMS with integration functions. I had previously integrated it with BuddyBoss, but after the integration, some parts still contained English and there were noticeable bugs as it was still evolving, making it unstable, so I reverted to "LearnDash."
"TutorLMS" is quite impressive on its own.
