Podia in 20 seconds
Best for: Solo creators and coaches who want to sell a course, run a paid community, and email their list without paying for three separate subscriptions
Pricing: Podia starts at $42/month (billed annually) for the Mover plan with a 5% transaction fee, rising to $84/month for Shaker and $150/month for Earthquaker, both fee-free.
- Podia's cheapest plan, Mover, costs $42/month billed annually ($504/year) and charges a 5% transaction fee on sales.
- The Shaker plan ($84/month billed annually) and Earthquaker plan ($150/month billed annually) charge no Podia transaction fees.
- Podia reports 15,000+ creators have earned over $900M on the platform.
- Email subscriber limits scale by plan: 100 on Mover, 500 on Shaker, and 1,000 on Earthquaker, with overage requiring a plan upgrade.
- Podia offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, but has no permanent free tier.
Limitations: 5% transaction fee applies on the entry-level Mover plan; avoiding it requires upgrading to Shaker at $84/month; No free-forever plan, only a time-limited 30-day trial; Email subscriber caps by tier mean growing creator email lists can force an upgrade; Monthly (non-annual) billing prices were not confirmed on the pricing page fetched

What is Podia?
Podia is a subscription-based software platform for creators, coaches, and course sellers. It lets a single creator host and sell online courses, digital downloads, and coaching sessions, run a paid or free community, host live events, build a website, and send marketing emails, all from one dashboard instead of stitching together separate tools like Teachable, Circle, and ConvertKit.
Podia is a creator commerce platform that combines online courses, digital downloads, coaching, community spaces, live events, a website builder, and email marketing under one login. It replaces the stack of separate tools (course host, email service provider, community app, storefront) that many independent creators piece together. Podia reports 15,000+ creators and $900M+ earned on the platform. Pricing runs $42-$150/month billed annually, with no free-forever tier, only a 30-day free trial.
Standout feature: One product covers courses, digital downloads, coaching, community, events, website, and email marketing, so customer and sales data stays in one place instead of syncing across tools.
Biggest weakness: The cheapest plan (Mover, $42/month billed annually) still charges a 5% transaction fee on every sale, and reaching a fee-free plan means jumping to Shaker at $84/month; there is no free-forever tier, only a 30-day trial.

Cons

- Pricing shown is billed annually; monthly billing (if available) was not confirmed and likely costs more per month
- Email subscriber limits (100/500/1,000 by tier) mean growing lists force plan upgrades
- No free-forever plan, only a 30-day trial with no credit card required
