What it is

Podia lets you sell courses, digital downloads, memberships and community access from one storefront, with a website builder, blog and email.

Pricing (from podia.com, October 2026)

  • Mover: $49/mo, or $42/mo billed annually, with a 5% transaction fee. Up to 50 products.
  • Shaker: $99/mo ($84/mo annually), no Podia fee. Adds affiliate marketing, upsells, PayPal and Zapier.
  • Earthquaker: $179/mo ($150/mo annually), no Podia fee, unlimited products
  • 14-day free trial, no card needed. Stripe/PayPal processing fees apply (about 2.9% + 30¢).

Who it's for

  • Solopreneurs who want courses, downloads and a community in one simple, tidy tool

Who it's not for

  • Anyone needing complex funnels or advanced email automation. A dedicated email tool like Kit goes deeper.
  • Course-first businesses that want a dedicated course platform. Compare Teachable, or read Teachable vs Podia for the break-even maths.

Verdict

A simple all-in-one storefront. Compare Mover's 5% fee with Shaker's flat price against your expected revenue.
