How to Choose Between CourseConverter's Free, Solo, and Pro Plans
July 15, 2026

What's the quick way to choose a CourseConverter plan?
Choose Free if you want to test the conversion quality on a real document before paying anything. Choose Solo if you're one person publishing a handful of courses and you want full SCORM exports without a team. Choose Pro if you build courses regularly, need more capacity, and want the AI and template features that speed up production.
In short: Free is for trying, Solo is for individuals shipping the occasional course, and Pro is for people for whom course-building is a core part of the job.
What does the Free plan include and who is it for?
The Free plan lets you upload a Word document and see exactly how CourseConverter turns it into an e-learning course, so you can judge the output before spending money. It's designed as a genuine trial, not a crippled demo.
On Free you can convert a limited number of courses and preview the result in your browser. You'll see how headings become sections, how images and tables carry across, and how the course looks once published. Export options are limited compared with the paid tiers, and AI features and the full template library are reserved for Solo and Pro.
Free suits you if:
- You're evaluating whether CourseConverter handles your particular Word formatting well.
- You have a one-off document and just need to see the quality first.
- You're comparing tools and want a hands-on look without a credit card commitment.
Our honest advice: don't build your whole library on Free expecting it to scale. It's there to prove the tool works for your content, then you upgrade once you're confident.
What does the Solo plan include and who is it for?
The Solo plan is built for one person who needs to publish finished, downloadable courses — including SCORM exports for an LMS — without paying for team-sized capacity. It unlocks the full export options that Free holds back.
With Solo you get a higher course limit than Free, full SCORM and HTML exports you can upload to your learning management system, and access to the core template options so your courses look polished rather than plain. AI assistance is available at a level suited to an individual creator, helping with things like generating quiz questions or tidying content as you go.
Solo suits you if:
- You're a freelance instructional designer or a subject-matter expert publishing your own material.
- You need real SCORM files because your client or employer uses an LMS.
- You produce courses occasionally — a few a quarter rather than a few a week.
If you've outgrown Free because you keep bumping into export limits, Solo is usually the natural next step. The question that pushes people past Solo isn't quality — it's volume and the depth of AI and template features.
What does the Pro plan include and who is it for?
The Pro plan is for people who build courses as a regular part of their work and want maximum capacity plus the full set of AI and template features to produce faster. It removes the constraints that an active creator would otherwise hit each month.
Pro raises (or removes) the course limits that matter when you're producing at pace, gives you the complete template library for varied course styles, and provides the fullest AI features — the kind that save real time when you're converting long documents, drafting assessments, or restructuring content repeatedly. All export formats are included, so SCORM for any LMS is never a question.
Pro suits you if:
- Course creation is central to your role — you're a full-time instructional designer or run a training function.
- You publish frequently and can't afford to hit a monthly cap mid-project.
- You want the AI and template tools doing as much of the repetitive work as possible.
The way to think about Pro is time, not just features. If the plan saves you several hours a month, it tends to pay for itself quickly against the value of your time.
How do the course limits differ across the plans?
Free has the tightest course limit and is intended for evaluation; Solo offers enough capacity for an individual publishing occasionally; Pro offers the most capacity for people building courses regularly. The limit is usually the first thing that tells you which plan you've outgrown.
A practical way to estimate: count how many courses you genuinely expect to publish in a typical month, then add a little headroom for revisions and re-exports. If that number sits comfortably inside Free, stay on Free. If you're regularly republishing or producing several courses, Solo or Pro will stop you having to ration your work.
Running into a limit isn't a disaster — you can upgrade at any time — but it's better to pick a plan that matches your real workload than to interrupt a deadline because you've run out of conversions.
Which plan should I pick for SCORM exports and an LMS?
If you need SCORM files to upload to a learning management system, choose Solo or Pro — full SCORM export is a paid feature, not part of Free. Free lets you preview the course, but the downloadable SCORM package you upload to an LMS comes with the paid tiers.
For most individuals delivering SCORM to a single client or employer, Solo is enough. Choose Pro if you're producing SCORM courses frequently or for multiple audiences and want the extra capacity and AI support alongside the exports. Both tiers produce standards-based SCORM that works with the common learning management systems.
What about the AI features and templates — are they worth upgrading for?
The AI features and template library are where Solo and Pro earn their keep, because they cut the repetitive work of turning a document into a structured, good-looking course. AI assists with tasks like drafting quiz questions and tidying content, whilst templates give your courses a consistent, professional appearance without manual styling.
Solo includes a useful level of both, which is plenty for an individual creator. Pro includes the fullest AI features and the complete template set, which matters most when you're producing at volume and want every shortcut available. If you only convert the occasional document, you may not need the deepest AI tier — but if you're doing this weekly, the time saved adds up fast.
How should I decide in practice?
Start on Free to confirm CourseConverter handles your Word documents well, then upgrade based on volume and the features you actually use. Most people make the right call by answering two questions: how many courses do I publish, and do I need SCORM exports?
Here's a simple decision path:
- Just testing? Stay on Free and convert a real document to check the quality.
- One person, occasional courses, need SCORM? Solo is the sensible fit.
- Building courses regularly and want every time-saving feature? Pro is built for you.
You can always start smaller and move up when your workload grows — there's no penalty for beginning on Free or Solo and upgrading once you know what you need. Pick the plan that matches the work in front of you today, not the work you imagine you might do someday.
