AI in the LMS 2026: what 53 vendors actually ship

Every LMS now says it is AI-powered. We went to the 53 vendors' own websites and recorded which of 12 AI capabilities each one presents as available today, with the page it says so on. 46 of 53 ship at least one. 7 ship none we could find. 20 charge extra for it; 15 ship it and include it in every plan, and those are ranked below.

Vishal Sood, Kprise. We make MyPass LMS, which is one of the 53, so read our row with that in mind; it was scored by the same rule as everyone else's. Companion to the LMS Pricing Index, same vendors. Quote anything here with a link back.

87%of vendors ship at least one AI feature (46 of 53). The typical vendor ships 4 of the 12.
34ship quiz generation, the most common AI feature. Only 8 ship exam proctoring, the rarest.
20charge extra for AI: 11 as a paid add-on, 9 only on a higher plan. 15 include it; 18 don't say.
20say which AI model or provider they use. 18 state that customer data is not used to train models. The rest say neither.

Which AI features are actually shipped

For each capability: how many of the 53 vendors we could check present it as available now (dark bar), and how many only announce it as coming (light). Hover or tap a bar for the names.

How many of the 12 each vendor ships

Shipped features per vendor, most first. A long bar means breadth, not depth: the matrix links to the page behind every tick so you can see how much each feature actually does. Vendors with zero are listed below the chart rather than drawn.

AI included in the plan: who gives you the most

15 vendors ship AI and say every plan includes it, no credits, no add-on, no higher tier. Ranked by how much they ship, with the monthly price for 100 users from the pricing index where the vendor prints one. This is the list to start from if you want the AI you were shown in the demo to be in the price you were quoted.

Open-source projects (Moodle, Open edX, Chamilo, Open LMS) include AI in the software but the model runs on your own provider key or a partner's hosting, so there is a cost, just not the vendor's.

20 of the 53 vendors put a price on AI beyond the plan. That matters for the pricing index: a monthly figure there may not include the features marketed hardest.

How we did it

  • Same 53 vendors as the LMS Pricing Index, which is the set a buyer in our market would shortlist. Their own websites only: product and feature pages, help centres, release notes, pricing pages. No review sites, analyst reports or press.
  • Twelve capabilities, defined before we started: course generation, quiz generation, content translation, learner assistant, recommendations, skills mapping, exam proctoring, semantic search, AI analytics, roleplay & coaching, video & voice generation, admin assistant. Each is "shipped" only if the vendor names the feature and presents it as available now; "announced" if it is described as beta, roadmap or coming soon; otherwise not found. A sentence like "AI-powered personalisation" with no named feature behind it does not count as shipped.
  • Every cell in the matrix carries the sentence and the URL it rests on, so a vendor who thinks we missed something can point at the page. We'll correct any row within a day of being shown the evidence, and we re-check all 53 sites in January 2027.
  • We sell one of these products. MyPass was scored from kprise.com by the same rule and it ranks 4th on breadth with 10 of 12; discount it if you like, the other 52 rows stand on their own.

Questions people ask us

Which LMS has the most AI features?

Going only by what vendors present as shipped on their own sites, Docebo (11 of 12), Paradiso LMS (11 of 12), Sana Learn (11 of 12), MyPass (ours) (10 of 12), 360Learning (10 of 12). Counting features is a blunt instrument: one vendor's "course generation" is a full outline from a PDF, another's is a title suggestion. The matrix on this page links to the page behind every tick so you can judge the depth yourself.

Do LMS vendors charge extra for AI?

20 of the 53 we could check do: 11 sell AI as a separately priced add-on and 9 put it behind a higher plan. 15 include it in every plan. The remaining 18 don't say, which usually means it is negotiated in the quote.

What does "AI-powered LMS" actually mean in 2026?

Mostly content generation. Quiz generation is the most common shipped feature (34 of 53 vendors), followed by admin assistant (34). The features that change how learning works rather than how it is produced, such as exam proctoring, are rare (8). 7 vendors ship no AI feature we could find.

Can I reuse this data?

Yes, under CC BY 4.0, with a link to this page. The CSV has all 12 capabilities for every vendor with the sentence and URL we based each status on, so you can check or disagree with any cell.
