Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Lazuli is a cloud-based course-authoring tool for instructional designers, educators, and learning-and-development teams. Its block-based editor supports collaborative lesson creation, with assessments, AI conversations, branching scenarios, and interactive simulations available within courses. Teams that need interactive lessons for Open edX or Canvas are the clearest fit, particularly when xAPI tracking and course analytics are part of their workflow. It is less suited to buyers looking for a broad, general-purpose authoring ecosystem beyond those LMS export paths.

The published plans show a free Starter tier with 500 monthly credits, publishing in Lazuli for up to 50 students, AI-powered lesson widgets, evidence tracking, and 90-day version history. Individual costs $50 per month and adds 1,000 monthly credits, LMS publishing, an advanced AI agent builder, and three-year version history. Team costs $250 per month and includes 5,000 monthly credits with the same listed feature set as Individual. The customized plan offers priority customer service, custom onboarding, training workshops, and bring-your-own-AI API keys; buyers need to contact the vendor for that plan. These monthly tiers make the difference between in-platform publishing and LMS publishing an important consideration.

Lazuli’s export and tracking options shape its platform fit. It exports OLX archives for Open edX and Thin Common Cartridge files for Canvas and compatible LMSs, and supports Common Cartridge 1.2 and 1.3, LTI 1.3, and OLX. Learner interactions can be captured through xAPI, while analytics cover learner progress and content health. These capabilities make it a practical candidate for teams building branching content around supported LMSs. Teams that need a different publishing ecosystem or broader compatibility should compare alternatives before choosing it.
