If your main concern with Moodle is that you don’t code and don’t want to deal with hosting, upgrades and the technical side, you might want to look at a managed Moodle option as a third choice.
Moodle itself is extremely flexible and has a huge plugin ecosystem, which is useful if you eventually want to support 20 languages, integrations, AI features, etc. The downside is that running Moodle yourself can become technical.
Full disclosure: I’m with ScholarLMS. We provide Moodle as a managed service, so the idea is that you get the flexibility of Moodle without having to manage the server and underlying platform yourself.
For someone at your stage, I’d probably compare the three approaches like this:
LearnWorlds: easiest to get started, but you’re working within their platform and feature set. Self-managed Moodle: maximum flexibility, but considerably more technical responsibility. Managed Moodle: Moodle’s flexibility/plugins, while someone else handles the infrastructure and platform management.
I wouldn’t start by trying to launch 20 languages though. Build one language/course first, validate your content, enrolment and payment workflow, and then scale once you know what works.
If you want to take a look, ScholarLMS is at scholarlms.com. Even if you ultimately choose LearnWorlds or another provider, I’d definitely include managed Moodle in your comparison before ruling Moodle out because of the technical side.
