What We Build
E-Learning Apps We Build
From solo educators launching their first course to enterprises rolling out global training programmes we’ve built EdTech products across every category.
Course Marketplace Platforms
Think Udemy, but yours. We build multi-instructor course marketplaces with video hosting, course builder tools, student dashboards, ratings and reviews, Stripe payments, and affiliate tracking. Whether you’re launching a niche learning community or a full-scale course marketplace, we build the infrastructure to run it.
Learning Management Systems (LMS)
Custom LMS platforms for schools, universities, and enterprises — with multi-role access (admin, instructor, learner), curriculum management, progress tracking, completion certificates, and deep analytics. We also build on top of existing LMS frameworks like Moodle and integrate with your existing HR or SIS tools.
Tutoring & Live Learning Apps
One-to-one and group tutoring apps with real-time video sessions, session scheduling, tutor profiles, rating systems, and automated payouts. Built for tutoring marketplaces, coaching businesses, and language learning platforms.
Corporate Training & L&D Platforms
Internal training apps for employee onboarding, compliance training, skills development, and leadership programmes. With SSO integration, SCORM/xAPI support, and manager dashboards for tracking team-level progress.
Mobile Learning Apps (iOS & Android)
Standalone mobile e-learning apps with offline content access, push notifications for lesson reminders, gamified progress tracking, and streak mechanics that keep learners coming back daily.
Custom EdTech Tools & Integrations
Assessment engines, quiz builders, proctoring integrations, AI-powered recommendation engines, and content ingestion pipelines standalone tools or integrations into your existing platform.
CORE FEATURES
Features We Build Into Every E-Learning Platform
These aren’t afterthoughts they’re the foundation. Every platform we build includes the features that drive engagement, retention, and measurable learning outcomes.
Video Lesson Delivery
Adaptive streaming with quality fallback, chapter markers, playback speed control, and progress auto-save. Built to work on slow connections as well as fast ones.
Course Builder & Content Management
Drag-and-drop course builder for instructors — add video, text, PDFs, quizzes, and assignments without touching code. Full CMS for managing curriculum, modules, and content updates.
Progress Tracking & Analytics
Learner dashboards showing completion percentage, time spent, quiz scores, and streak activity. Admin dashboards with cohort-level analytics, drop-off points, and revenue reporting.
Gamification & Retention Mechanics
Points, badges, leaderboards, streaks, and completion certificates — implemented strategically, not decoratively. We design gamification that actually improves retention, not just looks good in a pitch deck.
Assessment & Quiz Engine
Multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, video response, and peer-graded assignments. Timed assessments with randomised question pools, auto-grading, and detailed result breakdowns.
Payments & Subscriptions
Stripe and PayPal integration for one-time course purchases, monthly/annual subscriptions, free trials, coupon codes, and revenue-sharing for multi-instructor platforms.
Live Classes & Webinars
Zoom and Agora SDK integration for live sessions, virtual classrooms, and group coaching calls. With recording, replay access, attendance tracking, and chat.
Push Notifications & Email Triggers
Automated nudges for inactive learners, lesson reminders, new content alerts, and assignment deadlines. Behavioural triggers that re-engage users before they churn.
Multi-Role Access Control
Role-based dashboards for super admins, school admins, instructors, and learners — each with appropriate permissions, views, and capabilities.
SCORM & xAPI Compliance
For corporate and institutional clients — import and track SCORM packages, connect to third-party LRS systems, and export xAPI-compatible learning records.
Offline Access
Downloaded lessons available without an internet connection. Sync resumes automatically when connectivity returns. Critical for markets with unreliable connectivity.
Multi-Language & Localisation
RTL language support, localised UI strings, region-specific payment methods, and content translation workflows — built from day one, not bolted on later.

WHO WE BUILD FOR
Who Builds E-Learning Apps With Alottt
We work with a specific kind of client one who knows that an e-learning platform is a product, not a template.
EdTech Startups
You have a validated idea, early users, and funding to build the real thing. You need a technical partner who can move fast, make smart architectural decisions, and deliver a product that’s ready to scale — not one you’ll need to rebuild in 18 months. We’ve been that partner.
Educators & Course Creators
You’ve proven your content works — on YouTube, in cohort courses, at live workshops. Now you want your own platform, your own brand, and your own revenue without paying 30% to Teachable or Udemy. We build platforms that make you the owner of your audience and your income.
Enterprises & L&D Teams
Your team is growing globally and onboarding via PDFs and Zoom recordings isn’t working anymore. You need a custom training platform that integrates with your HRIS, tracks compliance completions, and gives managers real visibility into team skill development.
Schools, Colleges & Training Institutes
You need a student portal, a course delivery platform, or an extension to your existing SIS — built to your curriculum structure, your branding, and your compliance requirements (FERPA, GDPR, COPPA).
WHY ALOTTT
What Makes Alottt Different as an EdTech Development Partner
Most agencies treat e-learning like any other app category. We treat it differently — because learner psychology, content architecture, and retention mechanics are genuinely different from any other product type.
01
We think like product people, not just developers
Before we write a line of code, we ask: why would a learner open this app on a Tuesday evening after a full day of work? The answer shapes everything — the onboarding flow, the lesson length, the notification strategy, the gamification logic. Good EdTech is rooted in behaviour, not just features.
02
We build for completion, not just enrolment
Enrolment is vanity. Completion is revenue — because completed courses generate reviews, referrals, and repeat buyers. We design the learner journey specifically to reduce drop-off: short early wins, progress visibility, social accountability features, and smart re-engagement nudges.
03
We scale with you from MVP to enterprise
Our architecture decisions at MVP stage are made with scale in mind. We don’t build you a prototype that collapses at 10,000 users. We build the foundations that let you grow without a costly rebuild — because we’ve seen what happens when you don’t.
04
Full-cycle delivery design to App Store
Discovery · UX Research · UI Design · Development · QA · App Store Submission · Post-launch Support. One team, one point of contact, one accountable partner from first call to live product.
05
Async-first for global clients
We work across US, UK, UAE, and Australian timezones without making you feel the distance. Slack for daily communication. Weekly video calls on your schedule. Detailed sprint reports so you always know what’s happening.
How We Build Your E-Learning Platform
A process built for EdTech where content structure, user roles, and learning flows make the scoping phase more important than in almost any other product type.
01 Discovery & Learning Architecture
We start by mapping your learner personas, content structure, monetisation model, and platform roles. This isn’t a generic discovery call — we ask EdTech-specific questions: What does your content library look like? How do instructors upload and manage content? What does a successful learner journey look like from sign-up to certificate? This phase produces a detailed product spec, user flow diagrams, and a phased feature roadmap.
02 UI/UX Design
We design for the learner first. That means frictionless onboarding, clear progress visibility, and an interface that doesn’t compete with the content for attention. You receive wireframes, then high-fidelity Figma screens for every user role — learner, instructor, and admin. No development starts until every screen is approved.
03 Development in Sprints
We build in 2-week sprints. At the end of each sprint you receive a working build — testable on your device — not a progress report with a screenshot. Backend API development, frontend mobile and web builds, and third-party integrations run in parallel where possible to keep timelines tight.
04 QA & Compliance Review
Every platform goes through functional testing, performance testing on real devices, and for institutional and enterprise clients a compliance review for SCORM/xAPI compatibility, GDPR data handling, and COPPA/FERPA requirements where applicable.
05 Launch & Iteration
We handle App Store and Play Store submission, web deployment, and DNS/server configuration. Post-launch, we monitor performance, respond to any bugs under our 30-day warranty, and are available for the next phase of feature development when you’re ready to grow.

How much does it cost to build an e-learning app?
E-learning app development costs depend on the platform type, features, and number of user roles. A focused MVP — for example, a single-instructor course app with video lessons, quizzes, and Stripe payments — typically costs between $12,000 and $25,000. A multi-instructor course marketplace with live sessions, admin analytics, and mobile apps runs between $30,000 and $70,000. A full enterprise LMS with SSO, SCORM compliance, and custom reporting can reach $80,000–$150,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a free 30-minute discovery call.
How long does it take to build an e-learning platform?
A basic course app MVP takes 10–14 weeks. A mid-complexity marketplace with multiple user roles, video streaming, and payment integration takes 16–22 weeks. A full enterprise LMS with compliance requirements and third-party integrations takes 24–36 weeks. We deliver in 2-week sprints with a working build at the end of each one, so you have something real to test throughout — not just at the end.
Do you support SCORM and xAPI compliance?
Yes. For corporate and institutional clients, we build SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliant content packages, integrate with LRS systems for xAPI tracking, and ensure your platform can import third-party SCORM content from tools like Articulate or Adobe Captivate.
Can you build both the mobile app and the web platform?
Yes — and we typically recommend building both together from the start. Most learners switch between web and mobile depending on context. We build web platforms in React/Next.js and mobile apps in Flutter or React Native, sharing the same backend API. This keeps development costs lower than building them separately.
How do you handle video hosting and streaming?
We use AWS MediaConvert and Cloudflare Stream for video processing and adaptive bitrate streaming — which means your videos load fast on any connection speed and don’t require a separate Vimeo or YouTube dependency. Videos are encrypted, access-controlled per course enrolment, and protected against casual downloading.
Do you build platforms for both B2C (students) and B2B (corporate) use cases?
Yes. B2C platforms — course marketplaces, tutoring apps, subscription learning apps — and B2B platforms — corporate training tools, compliance management systems, onboarding platforms — have quite different architecture and UX requirements. We’ve built both, and we’ll tell you which patterns apply to your specific model during discovery.
Will I own the source code?
Yes, completely. Full IP transfer and source code ownership is included in every project. We sign an NDA before discussions begin and hand over all repositories, design files, environment credentials, and documentation on completion.
