Best LMS in India for Coaching Institutes: How to Choose, With 8 Options Compared

What to look for in an LMS in India

Sikhami wrote this comparison, and we make Sikhami, so please read it with that in mind. We checked every detail about Classplus, Edmingle, Google Classroom, Graphy, Learnyst, Moodle and Teachmint on their own websites and Google Play listings on 18 October 2026. Prices and features change, so check them again before you decide. Classplus, Edmingle, Google Classroom, Graphy, Learnyst, Moodle and Teachmint are trademarks of their owners; Sikhami is not connected with any of them.

Start with your students. Many coaching students in India study on an Android phone, often on mobile data, so the LMS must work well there. Then check these points.

• Total cost for a year: the plan fee, taxes, any fee per sale and payment gateway charges.
• Your own app: an app in your institute's name, a shared app, or a website only.
• Live classes: built in, linked to Zoom or Google Meet, or not offered.
• Tests: the question types you need, such as MCQ, numerical or written answers.
• Classroom tools: batches, attendance, fee plans and receipts, if you also teach face to face.
• Video protection: DRM and download controls, if copying worries you.
• New students: whether learners can find you there, or you bring every student yourself.
• Your data: whether you can export students, payments and marks if you leave.

Our guide to choosing a learning management system has a full features checklist.

Eight LMS options at a glance

Each price below is as the company's own site showed it on 18 October 2026. Where a site shows no price, we say so.

Each option in short

Classplus

Classplus says its platform gives coaching institutes their own app. Its features page lists a course store inside your app, tests with automatic correction and live classes with automatic recordings. It also lists video lectures, a marketing dashboard and your own website. Its blog also describes fee collection inside your app, with reminders and digital receipts. Classplus does not publish a price list on its website. It asks you to book a free demo. See our Classplus alternative page and Classplus vs Graphy vs Teachmint.

Edmingle

Edmingle calls itself an AI-powered LMS for professional training and skilling businesses, including exam preparation providers. Its India pricing page shows Core at ₹7,499, Prime at ₹14,999 and Power at ₹29,999 a month, billed annually, plus taxes. Core includes a custom domain, a common app, unlimited live sessions, multi-batch management and automated attendance. Prime adds a branded Android app and Power a branded iOS app, each on an annual commitment. More on our Edmingle alternative page.

Google Classroom

Classroom is where you post work, grade it and run quizzes made in Google Forms, which can mark them automatically. People over 13 can use it with a personal Google Account, which allows up to 250 teachers and students per class. Qualifying schools and colleges get it at no charge through Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals. Google lists tutoring programmes and for-profit education companies among those that do not qualify. See our Google Classroom page.

Graphy

Graphy is built for creators, coaches and educators who sell courses, memberships, webinars and digital products under their own brand. Every plan includes a website builder, your own branded Android app, free custom domain support and unlimited live sessions. Launch costs ₹24,999 a year, plus 10% per sale or ₹10, whichever is higher. Grow is ₹49,999 a year plus 7.5%, and Rise is ₹99,999 a year plus 5%. Its security page lists DRM and anti-screen-recording at no extra cost. More on our Graphy alternative page.

Learnyst

Learnyst helps institutes, creators and exam preparation businesses sell courses, mock tests and live classes from their own website and apps.

Moodle

Moodle is free, open-source software under the GNU General Public License. You can run it on your own web server with PHP and a database, with no licence fee. Or you can buy MoodleCloud hosting from its makers, with yearly plans from ₹15,190 for 50 users in its rupee view, billed in Australian dollars. Moodle has many quiz question types, badges and a free app. Someone must install updates and take backups. See our Moodle alternative page and Moodle vs Google Classroom.

Sikhami

Sikhami is a free LMS on a social network for learners. Setting up an institute is free, with no subscription. You get video courses from uploaded videos or a YouTube playlist, with multiple-choice tests and certificates. You also get batches with a weekly timetable, attendance, a fee book with numbered receipts and staff roles. Your institute and each course get a public page that learners can follow and find by browsing categories. It has no app of your own, no built-in live classes and no DRM.

Teachmint

Teachmint calls itself a classroom technology company. Its core offering is Teachmint X, an interactive panel with AI teaching tools, sold to institutes and registered businesses, not to individual consumers. Its Android app offers live classes with video, chat and screen sharing, recordings, AI-made homework and quizzes, attendance and announcements. A plans page lists a Free Plan for its Connected Classroom offering and an Enterprise Plan through sales, with no prices shown. See our Teachmint alternative page.

Which one fits which kind of institute

• You want your own app with live classes inside it: try Classplus, Graphy, Learnyst and Edmingle.
• You sell mock tests and test series: look at Learnyst's question types and percentile ranking, and ask the others what they offer.
• Copying of your videos is your main worry: Graphy and Learnyst list DRM. Sikhami has none.
• You train professionals or run skilling programmes: Edmingle is built for that.
• You have technical help and want full control: Moodle on your own server.
• You are a school, or you set homework for classes you already teach: Google Classroom.
• You want interactive panels in your classrooms: Teachmint X.
• You run classroom batches, want to start free and want learners to find you: Sikhami.

You can also use two tools: one for the work you already do, and one to be found or to sell courses.

Good to know about Sikhami before you start

Setting up and using Sikhami is free, with no subscription. Sikhami earns only when a learner buys something paid online, such as a video course, notes or a club. It keeps a share of that sale, and Google Play also takes its fee on purchases in the Android app. Before you save a price, Sikhami shows what you will receive per sale on the website and in the app. Classroom and batch fees are paid to you directly, and Sikhami takes nothing from them.

• Sikhami does not give you your own app, your own web address or a website builder. Students use the Sikhami website and Android app with a free Sikhami account.
• Live classes run on Google Meet or Zoom. A batch keeps the link, but the class is not hosted on Sikhami.
• There is no DRM, download protection or screen-recording protection.
• Tests are multiple choice with one correct answer.
• The fee book records fees you collect yourself. Parents do not pay batch fees through Sikhami, and there are no fee reminders.
• Video courses are created on the website. Batches, attendance, fees, your team and classroom courses also work in the Android app.
