Key Takeaways
- Graphy has three pricing tiers: Launch ($449/year), Rise ($1,349/year), and Scale ($3,599/year). The final cost depends on several other factors.
- The 0% fee isn't the real cost driver: contact caps force upgrades regardless of revenue, and API/SSO access plus removing Graphy's own branding are locked to Scale specifically, not a gradual climb.
- Graphy does support SCORM uploads, despite a common claim otherwise, but completion and score data reports for compliance are unconfirmed publicly.
- The architecture has real gaps for training businesses: no system to centrally manage concurrent batches across programs, no multi-school structure, and no custom or enterprise tier above Scale.
- Your branded app is published under your own Apple and Google Play developer accounts, so there's no app lock-in, but refunds are only applicable before 7 days.
- Graphy is a good fit for a solo creator or small team launching fast for direct-to-consumer sales.
- For training businesses that require operational support, multi-batch operations, and B2B delivery, Edmingle (starting from $89/month) is a more suitable option.
Search for the top LMS companies in the USA and the results mix three different things: subscription Graphy’s pricing page leads with one claim above everything else: 0% transaction fees on every plan. While that is not the case for their country-specific pricing, it is accurate for their USD pricing.
Just this confirmation already puts us ahead of a lot of what circulates about Graphy, including the recurring claim that Graphy does not have SCORM or that it has no contact limits, which doesn’t match Graphy’s current documentation. The gap between what gets repeated about Graphy’s pricing and what its own pages and product documentation actually say is wide enough to confuse a real buying decision, and that is why this piece exists.
Read this guide for an accurate understanding of what each plan actually costs, what the 0% fee claim does and doesn’t cover once you’re past the headline, and where the platform’s architecture stops working for a training business.
None of that makes Graphy a bad platform; for the right buyer, it’s a well-built one, and this piece says so plainly where it’s true. This is written for a buyer pricing Graphy, whether you’re deciding before a first commitment, weighing an upcoming renewal, or already sure Graphy isn’t right for your training business and want a straight comparison instead of a sales pitch.
What Each Graphy Pricing Plan Costs in 2026
Graphy offers three paid tiers. They are:
- Launch ($449/per year). Unlimited products, a custom domain, SSL, learner certificates, and affiliate tracking. The AI website builder is capped at 2 custom pages.
- Rise ($1,349/per year). Adds a branded mobile app for Android and iOS, unlimited AI custom pages, and extends access to the Graphy AI suite.
- Scale ($3,599/per year). Adds API/SSO access, advanced DRM, priority support, integrations, and the ability to remove Graphy’s own branding from your product.
Committing to annual billing means discounted figures of about $37/$112/$299 per month, when calculated ourselves, but the lump sum does tie you up with the platform immediately. On the other hand, monthly billing means you pay up to 33% more ($49, $149, and $399 respectively. Every tier carries the no transaction fee and comes with a 14-day trial.
That fee claim is worth pausing on, though, because it’s often misread. “0% transaction fee” means Graphy isn’t taking a cut of what you sell; it doesn’t mean nothing else touches the sale. Your payment processor actually moves the money (Stripe, for many users) and still charges its own standard rate per transaction, on every plan. While that’s not exactly a Graphy markup, it’s a cost to keep in mind as you budget your business and platform to see if it is worth it.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Contacts | Admin accounts | Branded mobile app | API/SSO access | Remove Graphy branding |
| Launch | $49/mo | $449/yr | 10,000 | 1 | No | No | No |
| Rise | $149/mo | $1,349/yr | 25,000 | 10 | Yes (Android & iOS) | No | No |
| Scale | $399/mo | $3,599/yr | 100,000 | 25 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
A few things worth flagging as you read that table:
- Custom domain support, SSL, learner certificates, and affiliate tracking are included from the entry tier. Older reviews tend to describe them as being gated behind a higher plan. If you’ve read that a custom domain requires an upgrade, that’s out of date.
- The AI website builder is capped at 2 custom AI pages on Launch; Rise and Scale get unlimited AI custom pages. For a business building even just a couple of web pages, the AI development support is lost, and additional costs need to be allocated for web design; you will need to avail a higher tier.
- Live class minutes available up to 10,000/month on Launch, 20,000 on Rise, and 50,000 on Scale. Similarly, marketing email sends scale from 5,000 to 10,000 to 50,000 per month. Both are usage caps, not features, so they matter more the bigger your active learner base gets.
- Scale’s DRM is listed as “Advanced DRM Protection” versus “DRM Protection” on Launch and Rise. Graphy doesn’t publish what specifically upgrades between the two, which creates ambiguity in justifying the plan upgrade.
- Features relevant to training businesses like API/SSO access, branding removal, and integration sit behind Scale specifically, and are not a gradual unlock.

Which Graphy Plan Should You Choose
Simply knowing what the plan offers is different from knowing who the plan works for. Here is a quick example of business needs matching with the most suitable Graphy tier.
| If you need | Best-fit plan |
| To sell courses directly, with under 10,000 contacts and one admin login | Launch |
| A branded mobile app, more admin seats, or room for up to 25,000 contacts | Rise |
| API/SSO access, Graphy branding removal, or up to 100,000 contacts | Scale |
This tells you which Graphy plan can suit you, but that’s not where the cost conversation ends. The final price you pay for Graphy depends on a multitude of factors, whose cost is not visible in headline pricing.

The Real Cost of Growing on Graphy
The headline prices are accurate, with no sale share, but they’re not the full cost of running a growing business on Graphy. A few places where the real cost shows up beyond the sticker price:
The contact cap requires moving to the next tier regardless of revenue. Cross 10,000 contacts on Launch, and the only way forward is an upgrade to Rise. Graphy doesn’t publish an exact definition of what counts as a “contact”, and it is worth confirming directly with Graphy. If a free-leads list or past buyers counts the same as current paying students, the tier cap will fill much faster, if not already full.
What happens when you actually hit a cap is not clear. Graphy doesn’t publicly document what happens when you exceed your plan’s live class minutes, contact limits, and marketing email sends — whether classes stop, you need to avail a paid add-on, or you’re pushed into an upgrade automatically. This is a large if that makes the pricing unpredictable.
Features like API/SSO access and de-branding are Scale-only — As mentioned in the previous section, there’s no middle option that gets you these features without the full jump to $3,599/year. This makes for a forced upgrade despite not needing the increased usage caps.
Graphy’s INR pricing is a different structure entirely. Graphy’s original Indian market faces a percentage transaction fee on top of the subscription (10%, 7.5%, and 5% on its three plans, respectively, or ₹10, whichever is higher. Apart from this, there are feature differences in the INR pricing and USD pricing, further complicating final cost calculation for training businesses. Third-party resources too often mix up the two different pricing information.
Going Rise or higher adds a cost Graphy’s pricing page doesn’t mention. While an Android and iOS branded app is available from the Rise plan, Apple still requires a $99/year Apple Developer Program membership, paid directly to Apple. It might seem like a small number in isolation, but a real recurring line item for a buyer comparing “$149/month” against a competitor’s flat rate.
None of this makes Graphy’s pricing dishonest; every cost here is discoverable only if you go through the pricing page and documentation closely and get in contact with their support team.
What Graphy Does Well
The platform has real, specific strengths worth naming plainly that are suitable for the consumer group they cater to. Here’s what Graphy’s pricing rewards.
- Speed to first launch. The course builder and no-code AI website builder get a purchasable course live faster than several alternatives — a real advantage for a first-time creator.
- A multi-standard DRM stack. FairPlay, Widevine, and PlayReady are all present. Although which Widevine level (L1 vs. L3) applies at which tier isn’t publicly documented.
- Community and courses in one product. An architectural bundling for course creators, not just two tools marketed together.
- You own your own app listing. The branded app is published under the creator’s own Apple and Google Play developer accounts, so the ratings, install history, and listing itself move with you if you ever switch platforms.
- 0% transaction fee is a real differentiator. Graphy’s flat 0% at every tier of its USD pricing is a genuine advantage in an environment where many LMS platforms have profit-sharing involved in their plans.
Where Graphy Can Fall Short for Training Businesses
Being fast for a solo creator’s first launch and having a real DRM stack doesn’t mean the architecture holds up once you’re running a structured training business with multiple programs, instructors, or corporate clients. Here are the capabilities training businesses can still need.
SCORM supported for upload, unconfirmed for reporting. Graphy’s course builder lists “SCORM package” as an uploadable content type. What isn’t documented anywhere is whether a package’s completion and score data flows back through the SCORM runtime API — the piece a corporate compliance contract actually needs.
Cohort support exists but multi-batch management does not. Graphy’s marketing confirms cohort-based delivery. What’s missing is the operational layer a training business needs: centrally managing multiple concurrent batches across various programs with different schedules, instructors, attendance, and completion reporting. It means you will end up building this structure and tracking it manually.
Built around one account. Graphy itself lists a limitation of its product: inability to manage multiple online schools from a single account. This is fair since the platform is designed to support one brand and one account, not separate environments for multiple corporate or franchise clients.
Unverified learner-level drop-off analytics. The platform has documented completion rates and view counts, but tracking that flags a specific learner as likely to disengage before they do, so a training operator can act in time, isn’t something we found evidenced.
No native proctoring. If you deliver certifications or high-stakes assessments that require proctoring, you will have to work around third-party integration since it is not built into the platform.
The AI features are sales tools, not training-ops intelligence. Rise and Scale’s AI Agents handle learner-facing chat, support, and re-engagement, useful for a solo creator’s sales funnel, but they don’t analyze batch performance or flag which learners are at risk of dropping out.
No custom or enterprise tier above Scale. Graphy frames its three plans as the complete lineup, with no negotiated path above Scale — whether you need a custom SLA and procurement review for a corporate client, or you’ve simply outgrown Scale’s caps. Platforms like Edmingle keep a custom-quote tier to support these needs.
Individually, these gaps are not unusual for a creator-focused platform. Together, they say something specific about who Graphy’s pricing plans are actually built for. Let’s hold it directly against Edmingle, the platform built for the training business use case.
Graphy vs. Edmingle: Pricing Side by Side
Graphy and Edmingle solve different problems, which is exactly why the price tags alone don’t tell the full story.
| Graphy | Edmingle | |
| Entry tier | $449/yr | $1,068/yr |
| Mid tier | $1,349/yr | $2,148/yr |
| Upper tier | $3,599/yr | $4,188/yr |
| Custom tier | No | Yes |
| Transaction fee | 0% on global pricing | 0% on all tiers |
| SCORM | Uploads supported; reporting unconfirmed | Yes (reporting from Power) |
| Multi-batch / B2B | No | Multi-batch on all plans; sub-organizations from Power |
The custom-tier gap matters if your business is the kind that will eventually need a negotiated contract: Graphy caps out at Scale with no path above it, while Edmingle keeps a custom-quote tier (Maxx) for exactly that conversation.
The major distinction here is that Graphy is a creator platform, built for one person or a small team selling to individual buyers. Edmingle is a training operations platform, built for an organization running structured programs and B2B delivery with its own reporting needs. Which category fits your business matters more than any single price point.

Is Graphy Right for You?
With the pricing, strengths, the architecture gaps, and the market context all on the table, here’s how that translates into an actual decision for your business.
Graphy is a strong choice if:
- You’re a solo creator selling courses directly to a consumer audience
- Speed to your first live, purchasable course matters more than deep operational tooling
- You want community and course delivery bundled into a single product
Graphy is a weaker fit if:
- You’re running three or more concurrent batches or cohorts with different instructors or start dates
- A corporate client asks about SCORM-based completion reporting or an audit trail
- You need separate branded environments for multiple corporate or franchise clients under one account
If a training operations platform sounds closer to what you actually need: Edmingle is built specifically for that case, with multi-batch management, SCORM support with reporting, and advanced learner analytics.
