Level Up XP review
A Moodle-focused gamification plugin with broad mechanics and an unlimited-user free tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Level Up XP is a self-hosted Moodle plugin for educators, training teams, businesses, institutions, and large organizations that want to add progression and competition to learning. Administrators can award experience points for learner actions, set level thresholds, create individual, team, and sitewide leaderboards, reveal content conditionally, award badges, and automate course enrolments. It can operate within individual courses or across an entire Moodle site.
The pricing structure is straightforward. Community is free forever and includes core gamification features, unlimited users, and one website. Pro costs $25 per month when billed annually and adds XP+ features for small teams, unlimited users, one website, and email support. Premium costs $45 per month when billed annually and adds XP+ features for businesses and institutions, three websites plus testing and staging, a public API, and mobile app access. Enterprise is designed for large organizations, with unlimited users, custom websites and development, testing and staging, plus priority email and call support.
Moodle is the defining ecosystem fit: listed integrations include Moodle, Level Up Quest, the Moodle Mobile app, and Moodle web services API. The feature set extends beyond basic points and badges with progress reporting, activity logs, spreadsheet import, data export, configurable point rules, and automatic enrolment based on level. That makes Level Up XP a strong choice for teams already operating Moodle and wanting structured gamification without a per-user price. Organizations seeking a solution across several LMS platforms should consider a broader ecosystem instead.
