Every plan, trial and fee is read from each platform's own pricing and help pages, on September 29, 2026. Each price is the plan and the platform's own cut. Card fees are apart, since Stripe or PayPal charge them on any platform, 2.9% + $0.30 a sale in the US, and a fee with card processing inside is split the same way. A plan counts only if it has room for a year of your buyers. 55 platforms checked.

Rate this tool

This free online course platform comparison shows what 55 course, community and checkout platforms cost you at your price and your sales: the plan and each platform's cut of every sale, for a month and a year.

Put in the price of one sale and how many you sell a month. Every plan and fee comes from the platform's own pages, with the date it was read, never from an affiliate's ranking.

Here's how the costs are worked out, what each platform takes, and when a marketplace like Udemy beats your own platform.

TL;DR

Key takeaways

This online course platform comparison works out what 54 platforms cost at your price and monthly sales: the plan plus each platform's cut.

Marketplaces like Udemy, Skillshare and Etsy bring their own buyers but keep larger sales cuts than hosting on your own platform.

Card fees from Stripe and PayPal aren't in the price, because you pay them on any platform.

I processed millions of dollars through ThriveCart, including $882,739 in gross sales from 1,483 customers for Virtual Summit Mastery.

What is an online course platform comparison?

An online course platform comparison puts the platforms you can sell a course on side by side, on price and features.

This one ranks them by what each platform costs you: the plan, plus its cut of each sale, at your numbers.

Who is the online course platform comparison for?

It's for anyone choosing where to sell a course, a community or a digital product:

Online course idea generator – teachers still choosing what kind of course to make.
Online course revenue calculator – anyone working out what a course could earn.
Digital product idea generator – people selling templates, ebooks and other products, not only courses.
Business idea generator – people deciding between a course, a service and a channel.

How to use the online course platform comparison

Compare the platforms0/5

1Pick what you sell: courses, a community, memberships, coaching or digital downloads

2Put in the price of one sale and how many you sell a month

3Pick monthly or yearly billing, and tick marketplaces if you want Udemy and the like in the list

4Read each platform's cost a month and over 12 months, with its cut of each sale

5Open the platform from its row, or switch to Find a platform and tick the features you need

The features that matter most

A few features decide more than the rest:

Community – a place for students to talk, inside the platform, not a separate app.
Upsells and order bumps – a second offer at checkout lifts what each buyer spends.
Affiliate program – lets students and partners sell for you, for a commission.
Email marketing – saves you a separate email tool, and its monthly bill.
Custom domain – your course on your own web address.

How the costs are worked out

Each platform's cost is two parts: its cheapest plan that fits, and its own cut of each sale.

A plan fits when it has room for a year of your buyers. At 20 sales a month, that's 240 students or contacts, so a free plan for 500 students fits, and a plan for 100 doesn't. Then the next plan up is priced instead.

Each row says what kind of price it is: a free plan you can keep, no monthly fee but a cut of each sale, or a paid plan with its free trial. It also shows the plan's limits, the platform's other plans and any lifetime deal.

Some platforms charge a monthly plan and take nothing from sales. Others are free to start and keep a share of every sale, so they cost more as you sell more. The comparison shows you where that line falls for your numbers.

WordPress plugins are listed apart, since you host the site yourself. A plugin that can't sell a course on its own is priced with the plugins it needs, like FluentCommunity with FluentCart.

Card fees aren't in the price. They're the cost of getting paid, and you pay them on any platform: Stripe and PayPal charge about 2.9% + $0.30 a sale in the US. Where a platform's fee includes card processing, like Whop's, that part counts as card fees too, so every platform's cut is only what it keeps.

Marketplaces or your own platform?

A marketplace like Udemy, Skillshare or Etsy brings its own buyers, and keeps a much bigger share for it. Udemy pays instructors 37% of a sale it finds and 97% of a sale through the instructor's own coupon or link.

Your own platform keeps more of each sale, but you bring every buyer. Many creators do both: a marketplace to be found, their own platform for the people who already follow them.

Every platform I used lacked something, so I built my own checkout, Creator Store.

Online Course Platform Comparison FAQs

Questions about the online course platform comparison? Here's what to know.

What is an online course platform comparison?

An online course platform comparison puts the platforms you can sell a course on side by side, on price and features.

This one ranks them by what you'd pay at your price and sales.

Is the online course platform comparison free?

Yes, it's free, with no sign-up.

Where do the prices come from?

Every plan and fee is read from each platform's own pricing and help pages, with the date it was read.

No ranking comes from an affiliate list.

Which course platform is cheapest?

It depends on your sales: a free platform that keeps a share of each sale is cheapest at first, and a flat monthly plan with no cut wins as you sell more.

Put in your numbers and the comparison shows which one wins for you.

Are card fees in the price?

No, each price is the plan and the platform's own cut.

Card fees are the cost of getting paid, about 2.9% + $0.30 a sale in the US, and you pay them on any platform, so each row shows them apart.

Does a free trial count as free?

No, a trial ends, so each row prices the plan you'd pay after it and shows the trial's length beside it.

Only a free plan you can keep, like Systeme.io's, is priced at $0.

Does the comparison show lifetime deals?

Yes, a platform with a lifetime deal shows it under its plan, with the price you pay once.

Should I sell on Udemy or my own platform?

Udemy brings buyers but pays you 37% of a sale it finds, and your own platform keeps almost all of each sale but you bring the buyers.

Is what I enter saved?

Your numbers are saved in your browser, so they're there when you come back.

Nothing you enter is sent to navid.me.
