Best platform to sell courses — the operator's playbook.

Kavieo

Bundles courses, community, email, coaching, and CRM. ₹1,499–₹14,999/mo. AI sales-page generation. Built specifically for creators.

Teachable

Mature LMS. $39–$249/mo. No native community; needs Circle/Discord. Slower release cadence.

Thinkific

Excellent LMS. $36–$199/mo. App store fills feature gaps but compounds tooling cost.

Kajabi

All-in-one. $149–$399/mo. Premium-priced; many features overkill for early creators.

Podia

Solid all-rounder. $33–$166/mo. Smaller than Kajabi, larger feature gap than Kavieo.
