# Add-Ons

Add-ons extend the core features of LearnDash, making it easier to customize courses, enhance learner engagement, and integrate with third-party tools. LearnDash offers a collection of official add-ons, which are created, maintained, and supported by the LearnDash team. These are available to all active license holders at no extra cost.

In addition to official options, LearnDash also provides Premium add-ons that unlock advanced features for an additional fee.

Looking for even more functionality? A growing ecosystem of [third-party add-ons](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/learndash/third-party-plugins/), both free and paid, is available from trusted developers. These tools can help tailor the LearnDash experience to meet specific site or learner needs.
