A built-in test-prep engine and Excel import - versus a modern freemium builder with a marketplace.
Tutor LMS has a generous free version and a modern course builder, with native e-commerce and even a multi-instructor marketplace. Where it stops is serious assessment: its quizzes are standard, with no adaptive pools, exam simulation, readiness scoring, or study plans.
