- 1 star: 5 reviews (4%)

### Most mentioned pros

- Podia gives me the freedom to focus on creating quality content in my unique voice.
- It offers everything a coach could need to promote their courses while being reasonably priced and very user friendly
- It's user-friendly, allows me to consolidate multiple services in one place (and for one payment), Podia's team is incredible, and customer service is always exceptional.

### Most mentioned cons

- The subscription is not actually as per the plan, they give you additional seats, but only the owner for example is able to answer messages form the students, so they charge you, but not really supplying the goods.
- It also still lacks a number of customizations on checkout, and the translations into other languages are less than perfect.
- I contacted support because I ran into a snap trying to import my wix blog unsuccessfully. But it is due to wix not allowing one to adjust the feed settings.

### Still Extremely Happy with Podia!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I use Podia to manage my website, digital products, and email marketing and I can't say enough good things about it! I love how easy it is to use and how pretty it is. It's really helped me grow my business and I tell everyone I know about it!

#### Cons

The biggest con of Podia is that customers can't buy products more than once. This makes selling coaching services on my website super clunky, so I've had to integrate another system into my website's workflow.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

The main reason I switched is because I needed a LMS for my business. But I never felt like I could truly customize my Wix website as much as I wanted to, so I would have been looking regardless.

### Helpful Business Multitool

- Overall rating: 4/5

- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: July 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I started my business in October of 2024 & started using Podia right away. It has been affordable as it combines so many tools into one. I love, love, love the website I have created on the platform, and it was super easy to do. Their support is very helpful when I have questions. The courses are a little confusing to some of my clients, with the lessons vs. discussion areas. Overall it has helped me grow my business a great deal in the last 9 months.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I love all of the different functions that can replace multiple other tools. I have my website, email marketing, community memberships, and client portals all on Podia. Their support team is also very helpful & responsive.

#### Cons

I wish the websites were a little more customizable (although I really love what I've built), and I have to create a new "course" for each client to use as a portal, which is cumbersome

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

Podia is a much better value for the cost, & with the other tools it includes, it was a no brainer.

Email marketing, online courses, digital downloads, even a blog, and website - you can do ALL of that easily on Podia. You keep what you make. AND the price is very affordable too. Great customer support with tons of tutorials.

#### Cons

Podia is a great starter software to build and host courses on and create a community amongst your customers. It offers everything a coach could need to promote their courses while being reasonably priced and very user friendly

#### Cons

I wish that the website builder looked a little less chunky and blocky so you could make a smoother looking website.

Ease of set up, no pressure upsells, cheaper.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

I was testing it out as a product. Less pressure to upsell additional features.

From their tutorials on YouTube to the free Podia community to their customer support team, I’ve had a fantastic experience with the Podia platform as a whole!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Podia has become my absolute favorite all-in-one platform not just because of its continued growth and feature development over the past few years…but because of the way they actively engage with the Podia user community! The team genuinely listens to the user base and wants to create a product that is easy to use and still competitive in the industry.

#### Cons

Though Podia is always actively searching for ways to improve the platform, I do think the website editor could use a little more work. I’d love to be able to copy and paste blocks and sections across different pages. I’d also like to see a drag and drop feature to reorder those sections on the page.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

For just the website alone, Wix was incredibly expensive. That doesn’t include features like email, courses, or digital products!

### PODIA is a unique one-stop-shop platform for a SOLO CREATOR online business.

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Maureen B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Professional Training & Coaching
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I began using Podia to have a way to sell my courses. As time progressed I created my website and moved my dedicated domain name to Podia. I then moved my email marketing to Podia. From that point on I continued to use Podia features exclusively. If Podia doesn't have a feature, I don't need it! I need simplicity and everything I do in one place. That's what I have with Podia.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

PODIA fits all stages of business from a beginner with absolutely no prior or tech experience to someone who has been working successfully online and wants to simplify their work. That is why I recommend my creator students use it. Whichever category a CREATOR falls into, she is going to find all the features she needs with PODIA. And features that are valuable time savers. The best part is the time and money saved by having an all-in-one platform, everything in one place, ALL the features to create and run an online business. BUT, if you feel the need to replicate and complicate, you can use thousands of apps and services that interface with Podia. Me? I stick with ONLY PODIA for my business including MY WEBSITE, EMAIL MARKETING AND BLOGGING and more! I love it! That’s saying a lot because I have been working online for 20+ years! Podia simplifies a creator’s life! Know that whatever is created with PODIA looks great, has a huge variety of easy-to-use and functional features and reporting stats – no matter what your level of online app skill or NONE! Yup, you heard that right! It’s great for everyone! AND, everything you do in Podia is flexible! You are in control!

#### Cons

Over the 3 years I have been a Podia customer, if I felt something was lacking at any point, shortly after it was released as a key feature. Podia always has listened to customer comments and responded with a solution.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

Ease of use and price to start. The support from other companies was poor. Podia support can't be topped!

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

Ease of use, fabulous customer support and tutorials, dependability, PRICE! It has saved me a lot of money to have everything with a single provider, Podia!

### Information Security Training Courses

It has been very positive overall. That said, I would like the company to focus more on uptime/availability. There were several outages in 2023, one lasting nearly a day, and that caused me great stress. If you need to raise the annual prices to afford an even more robust infrastructure, I'm all for it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Ease of use, support, and the fact that I can pay an annual fee and avoid having Podia take a percentage of my sales revenue.

#### Cons

I can't delete archived Coupons! Please fix this. Coupons are critical to the way I run my company, and I'd like the ability to clean up clutter. For example, if someone decides to make a bulk purchase, they would pay for X quantity of a course via Stripe externally to Podia. At that point, I would generate a coupon code with a 100% discount and X use limit so they could then "redeem" their licenses. This has worked very well for me, and saves me the time of having to pre-create accounts for people who bulk purchase -- instead, they can self-enroll.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

5GB upload limits, 4K video, ease of use, website hosting!

Podia is a fantastic framework for housing our online courses along with using it as our email service provider. Having those two systems talk to each other is incredibly valuable. The email features are getting better and we have really been impressed with the improvements.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

Podia is so easy to use. I cannot overemphasize how important this feature is when setting up and supporting online courses. There are so many plates to spin that it's nice to have one thing not to worry about. Podia's customer support is like no other. Responsive and thorough until the issue is resolved. I really appreciate that.

#### Cons

I have found it very confusing to see what customers see. Especially when they are having trouble. I wish they had a chat to get customer service directly instead of going through me. Or maybe if there were screenshots (and a video) so I could see how they log on and then what their dashboard looks like to be better able to help them.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

Podia was a lot easier to set up and use.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

To make it easier and have our online products and ESP with one vendor.

I was already paying Convert Kit the same amount as Podia with no course options. Sure Podia's email is a little basic but the Podia Team has given me some great workarounds. For the price, you get so much more here than with the basic email platforms.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Just Do it! Should be Podia's slogan! These guys get you started on making life happen. Do you dream about making a course? This is the place to do it. The videos and chat help will help you make the course happen. And don't worry! You can go in and change things as you go along. So Just get started already.

#### Cons

With support, they do everything but come to your house and design the program for you. But that is truly what I wish they did. They have all kinds of great examples and challenges to get you started. I just wish they would send a maid and a nanny so I could clear my calendar to get on with it already.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

More support. Better videos. On-demand chat service. Matt was really helpful in the one-one zoom call.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

Tons more options for product sales. Plus since Convert Kit was purchased a couple of years ago their support has not been as good.

With Podia I have been able to take back control of my books so that I can make the most revenue with them instead of receiving tiny royalties. I feel newly inspired to write more books and have written one and will publish two more and an online course this month. Next, I plan to have my first online summit! Podia makes it possible with clever software and tons of helpful resources to quickly master new creations. And, the Podia team is a great resource and a delight to work with. I enjoy being at my Podia site every day fulfilling my creative desires and offering my gifts to the world. It is so much fun!

I signed up to Coach about 5 months ago now and have NEVER looked back. I've used other solutions and online platforms before to host my courses and digital products and downloads, but I've never been fully happy with how they integrate or the interface. Coach was a breath of fresh air from my very first convo with the Founder of Coach, when he went above and beyond to tell me all about the product and see if it fitted my needs. And even though I knew it didn't have every feature I had at the time, I was confident they'd deliver on what I needed - so I signed up there and then. Since then Coach has consistently released new features - many that we customers have asked for and are highly anticipated (for example - they've just released their ConvertKit integration. Yay!!) and many others that have been a total surprise, but just as brilliant. What makes Coach for me, though, is the customer service - I really feel like the Coach team care about each of us as an individual and really want to help us succeed, by making the best product they can and giving the best support I've ever come across in an online platform. I don't feel like a number or a statistic - but a real person that the team at Coach are constantly happy to help out. On top of that, Coach is mighty beautiful to both look at (great for your audience!) and use (great for us!) - as a designer, it's important to me that I use tools that are easy to use and help me get the job done quicker. Coach helps me do that, and more. My conversion rates for my freebie opt-in on my site have gone from less than 1% to over 6.5% at last count and I've no doubt Coach has played a huge part in that. :) Tl;Dr; - Platform is so easy to use & launch with - New features are being brought out all the time - The customer support is incredible - Design is fantastic & converts well with my audience I recommend Coach now to everyone I know that wants to create digi products & online courses - and I'd never go anywhere else. :)

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

Everything. The price, super affordable and simple. No complications like others. No transaction fees on matter what plan you are in. Super intuitive to use, requires almost no tutorial. Although they have excellent documentation for any possible question. Support is super helpful and responsive. 10 out of 10 in helpfulness. It is so easy to use it makes you want to create courses and make good use of it. I made my monies worth on the investment within the first week.

#### Cons

The only con is that the software is not feature rich. This is NOT a con for me. To me it is a plus. They made it so dead-simple that literally anyone can use it. I feel that is the right use-case for most people and I am glad Podia chose to accomodate extreme simplification. Well known competitors (which I won't name), have a ton of features but makes it a lot more complicated, not as intuitive and a bit more difficult to use it. Podia is almost "too simple", but that's a good thing. I anticipate using Podia for years to come. I wrote extensive blog on my website about how I use it, how you can use it, and also a full walkthrough video on my youtube channel to show all the insides.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

Podia has the best pricing Podia is the easiest to use Podia has the most simple to use platform Podia's support is superb

My business is getting onto its feet post-pandemic and I'm thrilled to have this to grow into in my own professional development. I've resisted tech, and I'm succumbing to it even though not gracefully.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5

#### Pros

As a non-technical, almost all software is a dangerous activity. Producing online courses is not my strength and I've gone the gamut of wanting to chuck it to being grateful that Podia continues to accommodate and meet the needs of its many & varied creators.

#### Cons

Probably what would have helped me from the beginning is a tour of where to find information/definitions/options within the course development without having to spend hours on YouTube videos/with support staff. From what I know right now, the software works well...the onboarding (for me) is wonky.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

I felt Thinkific was more technical and possibly less user-friendly; although their workshops w/resident creators were awesome.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Podia makes it possible for a one-man shop to launch a course to the world and offer features that usually only a big shop would be able to. This wasn't why we went with Podia. We were already an established e-learning company with thousands of customers around the world. Switching to Podia allowed us the ability to concentrate on the quality of our course content and less on the labor of launching new courses. Their system and interface is quite elegant and simple, with just the right of customization to differentiate your site from other Podia sites, but not enough customization options to paralyze you in development. Their team is very responsive. They assisted with migrating over a thousand videos/lessons and thousands of customers. They are consistently adding new features to the platform.

#### Cons

The reporting is a bit underwhelming, albeit we have been able to cobble together some reporting using third party software/services. But I have a feeling that they will enhance the reporting sooner than later.

#### Reasons for switching to Podia

We were looking for a robust and stable LMS that would provided a bulk of the features we wanted/had already, with easier course implementation, and without any of the burden of plugins and compromise of speed.

Couldn’t be happier. Their support is absolutely superb. I’ve been with them for almost 2+ years and they continue to grow and evolve in their design and product offerings. I throughly researched all comparable platforms for my needs and what won me over were all the positive reviews regarding support. Podia has never once been a disappointment. I have since referred to a few people and recommended to everyone when asked. I currently do all my website management and love the ease of use and simplicity of design.

#### Pros

Love it! Love the simplicity of ease and design! Love the support! Love the constant growth and innovation by the developers. So happy and always recommend to others.

Not one. The things I had been wanting, they have recently updated and included in their features… the ability to customize the Thank You Page.

#### Reasons for choosing Podia

See above. Support. Price. Could have infinite products.

I am really more than satisfied with Podia. Even when I am searching new features, I can find those very easily and there are great "help pages". For my products and e-Mail marketing it is very important to have it very smoothly, because I don't like to spend my time by try to find out, how to use the plattform. I can concentrate myself in my job and Podia is my expert for the marketing of products.

Podia is very easy to use and like the design featuers. I also love to have my e-Mails on one page.

#### Cons

I launched a new product and for the users is absolutely easy to use. The payment options are also very variable.

### Simple, Great Customer Service, Lacking Some Important Features

I really love the other tool I've been using for my membership site & I'm a very techie person, but I'm finding that although it has tons of great bells & whistles, it's also pretty complicated to implement adding a new course or even a new freebie optin. In using Podia for these past few days, I'm seeing how the simplicity can help me take more action faster & get more value to my people without getting hung up in the tech. Customer service has been exceptional, so kudos to you all for that.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

The simplicity. It feels like it will be a lot faster & easier to get a new product/course in there without it being very complicated or having to run through a ton of testing prior to launching.

#### Cons

There doesn't appear to be a way to add Pinterest tracking tags (super important, possibly a deal breaker). Lack of customization options on pages (even some simple things like changing font size or reducing the huge amount of white space between sections). Inability to direct to a custom thank you page instead of just taking them straight into their product. This makes it impossible to have a true sales funnel with a thank you video & tripwire offer and lead into a bigger upsell. This could mean a huge loss of potential income. The ONLY thing you can virtually guarantee someone will see when they opt into your freebie is the thank you page. It's the biggest opportunity to sell to someone new. There are "upsells" in Podia but they appear to work more like an order bump. Not a true back & forth integration with ConvertKit.

It helps me spending less time of the technical aspect when publishing a product. I start to have more time to create instead of spending my time solving problem with funnels bugs agoin and again. It remind me my experience the day i decided to move from windows to Mac... Difficult decision but since then (in 2013)... it is just a dream to use all my Mac and Apple system. I have the same feeling now using podia.

#### Pros

The simplicity for doing action what ever it is in podia. Almost no need of help, it is no intuitive that i have needed a little time to stop making simple things become complicate like before using podia.

#### Cons

Nothing for the moment. The first days, i was asking question like “why can’t we do this or that with podia? It was things i was able to do before with the other but very complicate system... But then, i realize that podia helps me simplify my job and that i work well without all the other options i had in the past.

I absolutely love Podia.

#### Pros

I most like how user friendly & simple Podia is!

#### Cons

I least like how often they are changing things. But that’s really not a down fall on Podia. It’s a down fall on me to not keep up. I wish I could just pay one of their professionals to change up my stuff once in a while rather then me worrying about trying to learn what’s changed.

I didn't like the fact that it was hard to add freebies. It was also annoying that I couldn't place quizzes in between modules to make sure students weren't understanding the information.
