Lumeo review
A low-cost course authoring tool with SCORM exports and a free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lumeo is a browser-based authoring tool for individuals and learning teams creating interactive eLearning courses. Its drag-and-drop editor arranges sections, modules, and content blocks in either scrolling Story or step-by-step Slide format. Authors can preview courses, apply a logo, banner, and theme color, then export to standalone HTML, PDF, SCORM 1.2, or SCORM 2004. That range makes it useful for authors who need portable course files, including those working with an LMS, as well as people sharing materials outside one.
The free plan includes up to 3 courses, with the third unlocked after quick feedback, and includes all content blocks and the export formats. Exports carry Lumeo branding. Pro costs £15.99 per month and adds unlimited courses, removal of branding, AI text generation, a stock image library, review links with threaded comments, and priority support. The vendor also displays a launch offer of £5.99 per month for the first 3 months. For a solo author testing a basic workflow or producing a small set of SCORM courses, the free option keeps the entry cost low; Pro is relevant when course volume, branding, or reviewer collaboration matters.
Lumeo’s interactive blocks include quizzes, accordions, tabs, popups, hotspots, and flip cards, with automatic saving and live preview. It also supports embedding or linking with YouTube, Vimeo, and Loom. The feature set is focused on straightforward interactive content rather than branching scenarios or interactive video, so authors who need those course structures should compare alternatives. Lumeo is a sensible fit for solo and small-team authors who value simple exports and basic interactions, but less suited to projects that depend on scenario branching or a wider integration ecosystem.
