About Podia
Podia is a creator-friendly all-in-one platform for making money from your knowledge — online courses, digital downloads, memberships, coaching and even a simple website and email marketing, all in one place. You build products, set prices, and Podia handles checkout, hosting and delivery, so you can launch without juggling multiple tools. There's no free plan now (a 30-day free trial instead); paid plans are Mover $42/mo (5% transaction fee), Shaker $84/mo (0% Podia fee) and Earthquaker $150/mo (0%), with standard card processing (2.9% + 30¢) on top. The key money lever is the transaction fee — moving up from Mover to Shaker removes Podia's 5% cut, which pays off as sales grow. Common comparisons: Podia vs Teachable and Podia vs Kajabi (Podia is simpler and includes a storefront/email). Best for creators and coaches who want one affordable tool to sell courses, downloads and memberships.
