Comparing the 3 main course platform approaches in 2026
Our Online Course Setup service configures whichever platform best fits your business model:
Community + Course Platforms (Skool / Circle)
Best when student discussion, weekly live Q&A calls, and a mobile app community are a core part of your offer ($99/mo platform fee)
All-in-One Hosted Platforms (Teachable / Thinkific / Kajabi)
Best when you want built-in video hosting, quizzes, and certificates out of the box
Self-Hosted / WordPress LMS (LearnDash / TutorLMS)
Best when you want zero monthly per-student platform fees and full ownership inside your existing website
Automated Student Onboarding
Whichever platform you pick, we connect checkout to instant login delivery and a 5-day student welcome email sequence
