Custom Moodle Plugin Development
We build custom Moodle plugins that add exactly the functionality your site is missing: properly built, properly maintained, and safe to carry through every upgrade. No more depending on an abandoned download from the directory.
Trusted by teams running their own learning platforms
The plugin you need is either abandoned, half-right, or doesn't exist.
Moodle's plugin directory is huge, but when you need one specific thing, you hit a wall: the plugin that does it hasn't been updated in three years, or it does 80% of what you want and can't be changed, or nobody has built it at all. So you either compromise on how you run your program, or you install something risky and hope it holds.
A bad plugin is a liability bolted to your live site.
An unmaintained plugin is a security hole and an upgrade blocker: it breaks the day you update Moodle, and now you're stuck on an old version. A plugin you can't modify forces your workflow to bend around its limits. And when it fails, there's no one to call. "Free" turns expensive fast when your whole site depends on code nobody owns.
A plugin built for your site and maintained so it lasts.
We build custom Moodle plugins to do exactly what you need, written to Moodle's standards so they install cleanly and survive upgrades. You get the precise functionality your program requires, code that's documented and yours, and someone who actually maintains it, instead of a directory download you're quietly hoping never breaks.

The specific feature your program needs, built for you.
Written to Moodle standards
Installs cleanly and survives version upgrades, no broken sites.
Documented and owned by you
The code is yours and readable.
Maintained and supported
Someone who knows your plugin, so a Moodle update never leaves you stranded.
Integrates with the rest of your stack
Plugins that work with your payments, SSO, LTI tools, and reporting.
How we build your plugin
Discovery call
A free 30-minute call to understand what the plugin needs to do and how your Moodle is set up.
Scope & plan
A clear plan: what the plugin does, the timeline, and the cost. Fixed and upfront, before any work starts.
Build & test in sprints
You get a working plugin to test on your setup, refined until it does exactly what you need.
Launch & handover
We install it, confirm it works, and hand over documented code. We stay available for upgrades and changes.
How much does custom Moodle plugin development cost?
A custom Moodle plugin typically costs from a few hundred dollars for a small, focused feature to several thousand for a complex plugin with integrations and custom interfaces. The price depends on what the plugin does, how it connects to other systems, and whether it needs ongoing maintenance. At Rizon, we scope it during a free discovery call and give you a fixed price before any work begins.
What moves the price: the complexity of the feature, whether it integrates with payments, SSO, or external tools, how much custom interface it needs, and whether you want ongoing maintenance and support. A simple single-purpose plugin sits at the low end; a complex integrated one sits higher.
Custom Moodle plugin development, answered
Should I use an existing Moodle plugin or build a custom one?
Use an existing plugin if a well-maintained one does what you need. Build custom when the plugin doesn't exist, hasn't been updated, only does part of the job, or can't be changed to fit your workflow. Custom code is yours, maintained, and safe through upgrades.
Will a custom plugin break when I upgrade Moodle?
Not if it's built right. We write plugins to Moodle's development standards so they install cleanly and carry through version upgrades, and we stay available to update them when Moodle ships major changes. Unmaintained directory plugins are the ones that break.
Do I own the plugin code?
Yes. The plugin is built for you and the code is yours: documented and readable. You can host it, change it, or hand it to another developer at any time.
Can a custom plugin integrate with our other tools?
Yes. We build plugins that connect Moodle to payments, SSO, your CRM, LTI tools, and other systems, so the functionality fits into your wider stack instead of sitting isolated.
Can you fix or take over an existing plugin?
Yes. If you have a plugin that's breaking, unmaintained, or nearly right, we can debug it, update it for a current Moodle version, or extend it to do what you need.
