The Podia alternative

The Podia alternative with a free plan that's actually free.

Podia is a tidy all-in-one — but it retired its free plan and still takes 5% on the entry Mover tier, all on Podia's own platform. CourseKit runs your courses, downloads, and memberships as native pages of your own Webflow site: free to start, with a fee that falls to 0%.

Why switch

What you get by moving off Podia.

A free plan again

Podia retired its free tier; CourseKit's is free forever with every feature included. Launch before you pay a cent, and only share a small fee once you're actually selling.

The fee actually falls

Mover's 5% doesn't go anywhere on its own. CourseKit's fee starts at 5% and drops toward 0% as you grow — so scaling is rewarded, not penalised.

It's on your own site

Your courses and downloads render as real pages of your Webflow site, sharing your brand and SEO — not a separate Podia store your traffic has to leave for.

Questions

CourseKit vs Podia, answered.

Does Podia still have a free plan?
No — Podia retired its free plan, so the entry point is now the paid Mover tier at around $39/mo, which still charges a 5% transaction fee. CourseKit's free plan is free forever, with every feature included.
How does the transaction fee compare?
Both start at 5% on the entry tier. The difference is direction: CourseKit's fee drops toward 0% as your sales grow, while Podia's 5% on Mover stays put unless you upgrade to a pricier plan.
Can I sell downloads and memberships too, like Podia?
Yes. Courses, digital downloads, and memberships all sell through native checkout — the same all-in-one coverage Podia offers, but rendered as pages of your own site.
Do I have to move my site onto Podia?
No — it's the opposite. CourseKit runs inside the Webflow site you already have, so you add a store to your existing brand rather than rebuilding it on someone else's platform.

Keep the all-in-one. Lose the walled garden.

Sell courses, downloads, and memberships from your own site — free to start, with a fee that reaches zero.
