Podia is the easiest place on this list to put a course, a download, a coaching offer and a community behind one storefront. Its pricing page lists Mover at $42 a month billed annually with 50 products, 500 videos, 25 community spaces and unlimited customers, plus a 5% transaction fee. Shaker at $84 a month billed annually removes that fee and adds affiliate marketing, upsells, PayPal and Zapier, and Earthquaker at $150 removes product and video limits. Every plan includes community, courses, downloads, coaching, events, a website and blog, a custom domain, landing pages, Podia AI tools, sales tax for 230 countries and email and chat support. The limit that bites first is email: Mover includes Podia Email for only 100 subscribers, Shaker for 500 and Earthquaker for 1,000, with add-ons beyond that. Podia also offers migration help, moving up to 50 products on Mover and 150 on higher plans.
