Slide your monthly course revenue and see your take-home on every major platform after its transaction fee and monthly price — side by side, sorted by what lands in your account.
Your monthly course revenue
$10,000
Take-home = revenue − platform transaction fee − monthly subscription. Card processing (~2.9% + 30¢) applies roughly equally everywhere and is excluded.
† Kajabi advertises 0% platform fees; a ~2% processing surcharge applies when using your own Stripe. * Revenue below the monthly price.
A monthly price is fixed. A transaction fee grows with every sale you make — which is why the cheapest-looking plan is often the most expensive one by the time your course works.
Entry-plan rates verified August 2026: Teachable Starter $39/mo + 7.5% · Skool $9/mo + 10% · Podia Mover $39/mo + 5% · Kajabi $179/mo (~2% with your own Stripe) · CourseKit $0–$499/mo with 5% → 0%. Full details and exceptions in the platform comparison.
At low revenue, low monthly prices win — a $9 or $0 plan beats everything. As revenue grows, every percentage point becomes real money: 10% of $20,000 is $2,000 every month. The crossover points are exactly what this slider shows.
Every CourseKit plan has every feature; the fee is the only variable, and it falls as you grow — 5% on Free, 2% on Growth, 1% on Pro, 0% on Scale. You upgrade when the math says so, not to unlock a checkout. See plans.
It depends on your revenue. Below roughly $1,000/mo, free or cheap entry plans (CourseKit Free, Skool) keep the most despite higher percentages. As revenue grows, falling-fee or zero-fee structures win — by $10,000/mo, a 7.5–10% fee costs more than any subscription on this page.
No — Stripe or PayPal processing (~2.9% + 30¢ per card transaction in the US) applies on every platform roughly equally, so it cancels out of the comparison. The numbers isolate what differs: the platform's own cut and its monthly price.
Rates were verified against each platform's published pricing in August 2026 and use each entry-level paid plan (the plan most creators start on). Platforms change pricing often — check their pricing pages before deciding, and see our full comparison for plan-by-plan detail.
Price your course with your platform's cut budgeted in — our pricing guide shows how — and re-run the slider at the revenue you are aiming for, not the revenue you have. The platform that is cheapest today may be the most expensive at your goal.
CourseKit runs courses, community, and checkout as real pages of your Webflow site. Every feature on every plan, and the fee falls to 0% as you grow.
