Which one is for you
Pick Kyvio if
- Fits if you want funnels, email and a course site in one subscription
- Works for coaches who might hire the launch service later
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you run more than one membership site, since only one is included
- Pricey if you add the extras: AI, premium triggers, call tracking, missed-call text back and email sending all cost more
- Watch out: calls and texts are billed by usage
- Watch out: the Done-For-You package has no published price and is for applicants, and the $2,997 a month Done-With-You launch runs for 3 months
Pick Podia if
- Fits if you sell courses, downloads and coaching to one small audience
- Works for creators with a small email list, since email is priced by subscribers
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you have a big list, as 10,000 subscribers adds $56 a month billed annually
- Skip it if you plan to stay on Mover, because 5% of every sale goes to Podia
- Not for you if your members expect a phone app, as none is listed
- Watch out: PayPal, Zapier, affiliates, upsells and assistant seats need Shaker at $84 a month
- Watch out: there's no free plan, and refunds come only within 72 hours of the latest payment

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
