Best eLearning App Development Companies
In this article, we look at the companies that specialize in custom eLearning application development. Before providing details, let’s define some terms that are essential to understanding this topic.
What Is eLearning?
eLearning is the delivery of educational content and training via digital platforms, usually through the Internet, thus enabling remote, adaptive, and self-paced learning.
eLearning Solution Types: LMS vs. LXP vs. TXP
There are several popular types of eLearning solutions available on the market:
- Learning Management Systems (LMSes)
- Learning Experience Platforms (LXPes)
- Talent Experience Platforms (TXPes)
The three types of eLearning platforms serve slightly different purposes. Here is how they differ from one another.
1. LMS (Learning Management System)
Purpose: Manage and deliver educational content.
Audience: Mostly internal (employees, students).
Key Features:
- Course management (uploading, assigning, tracking)
- Compliance training
- Assessments and certifications
- Reporting and analytics
Example LMS platforms: Moodle, Blackboard, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone
Best for: Organizations that need a structured, top-down training system (e.g., onboarding, compliance training).
2. LXP (Learning Experience Platform)
Purpose: Deliver learner-centric experiences.
Audience: Internal, but more personalized.
Key Features:
- AI-based content recommendations
- Social learning, user-generated content
- Integration with multiple content sources (YouTube, LinkedIn Learning)
- More informal, continuous learning paths
Example LXP platforms: Degreed, EdCast, Fuse, 360Learning
Best for: Companies that want to promote self-directed learning and a more engaging experience.
3. TXP (Talent Experience Platform)
Purpose: Holistic platform combining learning, performance, career development, and engagement.
Audience: Broader workforce, often including HR and leadership.
Key Features:
- Combines LMS, LXP, and talent development tools
- Career pathing and skill development
- Employee engagement and performance management
- AI-driven career and learning suggestions
Example TXP platforms: Ander.ai, Phenom, Fuel50, LearnIn, Gloat
Best for: Organizations focusing on end-to-end talent growth, retention, and engagement.
Individual vs. Corporate eLearning Applications
It also helps to differentiate eLearning apps for individual use (Duolingo, Coursera) from corporate learning solutions like ELB Learning, Revature, and Kineo. In the eLearning application market, the majority of custom development is happening around corporate training platforms.
The global corporate training market was valued at approximately $177 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach $327 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8%. In the US alone, the market is projected to increase by $14.43 billion between 2023 and 2028, achieving a CAGR of 6.78% during the said period.
Another emerging topic is the use of AI in eLearning systems. The AI sector of the EdTech market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 38.2% between 2024 and 2032, reaching $105 billion by 2032. The explosive growth is being spearheaded by the virtual facilitator market due to the surging popularity of AI-powered chatbots and digital tutors. Another popular use case is AI-aided content creation, so there is now increased demand for natural language processing (NLP) solutions.
