Not All Course Platforms Are Created Equal
If you’re building a course outside of higher ed or corporate training (as a coach, consultant, educator, or creative) you’ve likely come across a sea of platforms like Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia, and others.
Each one offers its own blend of marketing tools, customization, pricing, and accessibility — but no single option fits everyone.
Key Factors to Consider
Before choosing a platform, ask:
- What level of customization and branding do I need?
- Do I want to sell one-off courses, subscriptions, or bundles?
- How important is email marketing or automation?
- What’s my comfort with tech setup vs. drag-and-drop tools?
- Will learners need accessibility features or mobile access?
