Everything the big LMS platforms do — that you own outright with no monthly fee — plus web apps inside lessons, AI that coaches and remembers, and a tutor that only speaks your course.
One payment for the platform you own. One honest subscription for the intelligence that keeps it current. No per-student tax, ever.
Hosted platforms take a monthly cut forever. WordPress LMS plugins sell you the basics, then sell you every feature again as an annual add-on. Both call it normal. It isn’t.
Plus transaction fees, per-student tiers, and a platform that owns your student relationships. Stop paying, lose the school.
The LMS is the cheap part. Gradebook, certificates, storefront, design — each one another licence renewing annually.
Theme, LMS, storefront, payments and web apps — owned outright, lifetime updates included. Add the intelligence layer for £99/yr, price-locked for life as a founder — or take both: Kaido Complete, £199 as a founder.
The WordPress LMS market competes on the same commodity basics. These three are live on a real site today — not a roadmap.
Build, host and embed self-contained interactive apps — calculators, rubrics, flashcards, self-assessments — on your own domain, sitting right inside the lesson page. Twelve templates included.
And the part that feels like a trick: describe the interactive in a sentence, and the App Generator writes it. “A slider that scores my students’ course openings” — done.
The Journeybook keeps every student’s whole journey — every piece of work, every quiz attempt. Everything that happens afterwards reads it: feedback says “you’ve improved since module 2”, quiz coaching names the pattern behind repeated misses, lessons open with a personal “welcome back” primer, and the course ends with an AI-written review of the student’s whole journey.
No LMS at any price does this.
The Course Tutor answers only from your course — the lessons and pages you publish. It cites its sources with numbered references — and refuses everything else. Ask it about your course, it teaches. Ask it anything outside your material, it declines.
It’s the answer to every educator’s AI fear: it cannot hallucinate beyond your material.
So nobody can dismiss it: the commodity basics the big plugins charge annual licences for, included once.
Courses → modules → lessons with sequential gating, progress, student accounts and dashboards.
Four question types, pass marks, attempt limits, random pools — plus short answers marked against your model answer with partial credit and a Journeybook-aware coaching note.
Marked where students can’t peek at the answers. CSV export, PDF certificates.
Courses, digital downloads, subscriptions and licence keys with a real multi-item cart — purchase to auto-enrolment, verified end-to-end.
Block theme + 20-pattern library + one-click style packs — and the Design Assistant: describe a change in plain English, watch the page follow.
A full operator manual, a live setup checklist, and a Claude support skill shipped in the box — paste it into free Claude and get an expert installer.
One plugin bundle, one menu. Courses, store, design and AI run from a back office designed like the front of house.
Built to sell to non-technical operators and advanced users alike — one-click done-for-you, full control underneath.
Upload the bundle to any WordPress site. The setup checklist walks payments and pages until everything’s green — and keeps itself healthy on update.
Bring your own key from the AI provider. You pay them at cost — we never sit between you and the meter.
Pick a style pack, import a starter site, publish your course, and take the first payment — purchase to enrolment runs itself.
The platform is yours forever for one payment. The intelligence layer renews yearly — because the AI world changes monthly, and that’s what keeps yours current. One founder cohort of 1,000 places at launch — the ladder below is the whole deal, published in full, and it only goes up.
One shared cohort — 1,000 places across Kaido Core and Kaido Complete, stepping together at the same boundaries. Every tranche is published from day one; when the cohort is gone, regular pricing stands. Founder Kaido AI is £99/yr at every rung, price-locked for the life of the subscription.
| Tranche | Places | Kaido Core | Kaido Complete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder I launch tranche | 100 | ||
| Founder II | 200 | ||
| Founder III | 300 | ||
| Founder IV | 400 | ||
| Regular | — | £349 | £499 |
Built by a former Dean who designs curricula for a living — the AI is pedagogy-shaped, and so is the honesty.
For the platform — really. Kaido Core is one payment (£149 as a founder, £349 regular), with lifetime updates and no renewal, ever. The intelligence layer is a yearly subscription (£99 as a founder — locked for life — £179 regular), priced honestly: the AI world changes monthly, and that’s what keeps yours current. Your AI usage itself runs on your own key, billed by the provider at cost — we never mark it up or sit between you and the meter.
Any ordinary WordPress host and a Stripe account. No WooCommerce, no page builder, no add-on stack — the bundle is self-contained by design.
The suite ships with a live setup checklist that tracks payments and pages until everything’s green, a full operator manual, and a Claude support skill — paste it into free Claude and you have an expert installer on call. One-click style packs and starter sites handle the design.
The tutor answers only from your course material, cites its sources with numbered references, and refuses anything outside them. The refusal isn’t a limitation — it’s the feature. Your course is the whole universe it speaks from.
Core updates are lifetime and included — no renewal to keep what you bought working. Kaido AI updates are included while the subscription is active; if it lapses, every feature keeps working at the version you have. Updates stop, nothing breaks, nobody’s held hostage.
Our own school runs on the exact bundle we sell — same theme, same LMS, same Journeybook, tutor and checkout, verified end-to-end on a live site. The demo isn’t a demo; it’s the shop floor.
Stop renting the thing your business stands on. Own the platform from £149 as a founder — one payment, and every student after that is pure margin.
