Plugin development can be requested by our company, and it is also possible for customers to develop and introduce them on their own.

Cost Merits for Large-Scale Utilization

Moodle is an open-source system, so there is no usage fee based on the number of users. Therefore, the larger the usage, the more cost benefits there are.
