All-in-One Course Platforms
The platforms creators use to build a course website, host videos, and take payment without depending on somebody else's marketplace for traffic. You keep student data and set your own price, though plans differ sharply in monthly cost, per-sale transaction fees, and how much marketing automation comes bundled in.
- 1
A Vancouver-built course platform that dropped its long-standing free plan in favor of a 14-day trial, with paid tiers starting around $36 a month on annual billing. Its own payment processor, Thinkific Payments, charges no transaction fee, while routing sales through your own Stripe account adds a surcharge that shrinks as you move up the plans.
- 2
The platform that popularized selling courses online, now owned by Hotmart. Its Starter plan cuts the monthly cost to $29 in exchange for a 7.5% fee on every sale, while the Builder tier and above drop that fee to zero. A wide library of themes and a genuinely simple checkout make it a common first stop for new creators.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a marketplace and an all-in-one course platform?
Marketplaces rely on their own traffic to find students for you. All-in-one platforms allow you to build your own branded website, set your own prices, and keep your student data so you don't depend on someone else's audience.
Are there any free options available for hosting my courses?
Yes, Payhip offers a free platform that includes features like drip content and quizzes for a 5% transaction fee. Moodle is also an open source learning management system available for creators and institutions.
Do all platforms charge a percentage of my sales?
It depends on the provider and the plan you choose. For example, Payhip takes a 5% transaction fee, while Kajabi takes no revenue share on its sales. Teachable's Starter plan also includes a 7.5% fee per sale.
Can I find a platform that handles my email marketing and sales funnels too?
Several options bundle these marketing tools directly into the platform. Kajabi includes an email marketing suite, and Kartra bundles course hosting with sales funnels and email automation.
Which platforms focus on community engagement rather than just video lessons?
Skool combines course modules with member discussions and gamified leaderboards. Circle is another option that focuses on paid memberships with live events and chat features.
