Caseproof, developer of MemberPress, officially announced its acquisition of AccessAlly, a leading WordPress-based learning management system (LMS) and membership plugin. This move signals a focused effort to unify powerful digital product delivery tools under a single ecosystem, supporting entrepreneurs and educators who manage memberships, courses, and coaching programs.
Caseproof and AccessAlly Align on User-Centric LMS Vision
AccessAlly was founded in 2014 by Nathalie Lussier and Robin Li to serve creators seeking more flexibility than standard WordPress LMS or membership plugins could offer. Unlike traditional LMS solutions, AccessAlly integrates CRM automation, built-in e-commerce, and advanced gamification features, all within the WordPress environment. Its standout offering has made it a favorite among course creators, coaches, and professional training providers.
With Caseproof’s acquisition, AccessAlly joins a proven lineup of WordPress products that includes MemberPress, Easy Affiliate, and Pretty Links. These tools share a common mission: to simplify monetization and online education on WordPress.
Key enhancements this acquisition brings:
- Shared expertise from both teams to improve onboarding and user experience.
- Ongoing development of AccessAlly under its brand, with continued updates and support.
- Deeper integrations between AccessAlly and Caseproof tools for cross-plugin functionality.
- Shared infrastructure and growth strategy to streamline product scalability.
Both companies emphasize that AccessAlly will continue operating independently, with the original team remaining actively involved in product development and community engagement.
Empowering WordPress-Based Online Learning and Coaching
The acquisition reflects broader trends in the WordPress community, where entrepreneurs are looking for unified ecosystems to manage online courses, memberships, and recurring payments without relying on third-party platforms.
AccessAlly fills a distinct niche by combining the features of an LMS, membership site, and CRM into a single package, designed specifically for business owners who want more customization than SaaS solutions like Kajabi or Teachable allow.

Building a Stronger Future for Digital Educators

Nathalie Lussier and Robin Li will continue guiding AccessAlly’s evolution to ensure it aligns with the needs of digital educators, coaches, and membership site creators.
