How much does a custom Moodle plugin cost?
With DevLMS, small plugins (blocks, filters, local tweaks, editor buttons) start at $149 and take 2 to 3 days. Standard plugins with their own data, permissions and pages (reports, enrolment methods, payment gateways, question types, activity modules) start at $300 and usually ship in under two weeks. Systems of several plugins or outside integrations start at $1,500 and are planned in milestones. The price depends on what the plugin does, how many people rely on it and who it's for. Every quote is a fixed price for a written scope, with three options to choose from.
How long does it take to build a Moodle plugin?
Small plugins take 2 to 3 days, most standard plugins less than two weeks. The quote gives you the exact timeline before you pay, and a rush option shortens it.
I already tried building it with ChatGPT, Claude or Lovable. Why pay you?
Those tools write code that looks right. Moodle plugins fail on the parts they skip: APIs that changed between versions, permissions, privacy, backup, upgrades, and tests. We use the same AI tools, plus years of Moodle work, and we're accountable for what ships. If you already have code, the assistant can quote reviewing and finishing it instead of starting over.
Who owns the code?
You do. Moodle plugins are licensed under the GPL, and we hand over the full repository with its tests and docs. You can publish it, extend it, or hire anyone else to work on it later.
Which Moodle versions do you support?
Moodle 4.1 LTS through the current 5.x releases. If you run something older, mention it to the agent and the quote will include the extra work.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes, for the scope written in your quote. An engineer reviews every quote within one business day. If your plugin needs more than the quote covers, we tell you before any work starts, and you can adjust the scope or get a full refund.
How do I pay?
Through Whop's secure checkout, by card or the other methods Whop offers in your country. Quotes under $1,500 are paid in full upfront. Larger ones are split: half to start, half before handover.
What happens after I pay?
You get an email within one business day to confirm the details and get access to a test site if needed. Then you receive builds with a short demo video and screenshots, test them, and send feedback. Bugs are fixed free for 30 days after handover. Changes and new requests are quoted separately or covered by the care plan.
Can you publish it to Moodle Marketplace?
Yes. Choose the directory submission pack and we prepare the listing, screenshots, documentation and the CI setup reviewers look for. Approval is decided by Moodle's reviewers, and we handle their feedback for you.
Do you use AI to write the code?
Yes, and that's why it's faster and cheaper. AI agents draft code and tests; a senior engineer designs the plugin, reviews every line, and is responsible for what ships. You talk to people, not just a bot.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Arabic and French. Plugins ship with language strings ready for translation, and we test right to left layouts.
