Free migrations
Sit back, relax, and let us do the heavy lifting. Our migration service makes switching to Podia easy, and it’s completely free on all annual Mover, Shaker, and Podia Email plans.
I have tried many other platforms and decided to use Podia because of its simplicity. Not only is it user friendly, it provides a great experience for my students as well. Running your online coaching business is tough enough, you need a platform like Podia to help you easily create and sell your online classes. This is why I highly recommend Podia to all of my clients.

Podia vs. Payloadz: Which is right for me?
Payloadz is a simple tool for selling digital downloads. You can upload your products, share a purchase link, and let people buy through that link on any platforms you use (like social media, YouTube, etc.). Payloadz delivers your file, and you get paid.
There’s only one pricing plan, which costs $29 per month with a 2.9% transaction fee.
But if you want to sell more than downloads (which you likely will), you must connect other marketing tools and platforms. Adding an online course platform, website builder, landing page builder, online community software, sales funnel tool, etc. can lead to unnecessary complexity and surprise costs.
With Podia, everything is connected in one place, so you don’t have to make a ton of tools talk to each other. You have one dashboard, one monthly payment, and one password to remember.
You can sell digital products, run your affiliate marketing, set up email marketing campaigns, create online courses, build a beautiful website, and even start a blog. You can accept payments through PayPal or Stripe, embed content into your website and courses, and connect your products to your online community through our Discord integration.
Add on upsells at checkout, create product bundles, customize your sales pages and landing pages, offer coaching sessions, create lead magnets, connect a custom domain — whatever you need to build your online business, Podia likely has it.
Best of all, everything is user-friendly for beginners and experienced entrepreneurs alike, so you won’t need to waste a ton of time figuring out your tech.
Podia has a 30-day free trial with all features so you can test everything out before you pay. After the trial, you can choose from two Podia pricing plans:
-
Mover plan: $39/month and 5% transaction fee ($33/month when paid annually): This plan includes your website, blog, and sales pages as well as unlimited digital products, online course creation, and third-party code. You also get customer chat messaging and access to Podia’s friendly customer support.
-
Shaker plan: $89/month and 0% transaction fee ($75/month when paid annually): Shaker includes all the Mover features plus your own affiliate program.
All Podia plans include all email marketing features (like marketing automations, newsletters, email templates, segmentation, tagging, and campaigns) for up to 100 subscribers. If you like, you can upgrade your Podia Email plan to add more subscribers as your email list grows.
If you sign up for an annual Mover or Shaker plan, Podia includes a free migration service. This means our team will move your products and customers over from another platform (like Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, etc.) for free so you can get started fast.
