The first two are close. Circle comes first because it runs a community and courses together with unlimited members, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.9 from about 86,000 ratings. Simplero costs less to start, takes no fee on sales and has email built in, but its price climbs with your contact list. systeme.io is third for anyone who wants to start for nothing. Thinkific narrowly missed: $40 a month billed yearly, with no fee on sales through its own checkout, but students get no phone app unless you pay $199 a month.

Voor: Coaches who want courses, email and checkout in one account
Simplero puts courses with quizzes, memberships, communities, coaching programs, email with a CRM, funnels and checkout in one account, and takes no fee on sales. Starter is $59 a month billed yearly for 500 contacts, with a 14-day trial of every feature. Members get an iPhone and Android app, and the iPhone and iPad version averages 4.85 from 1,256 ratings. It is second because contacts push the price up, to $134 a month at 10,000 on Starter, which stops at 10 courses and one site or community, and affiliates and the API need Scale at $149.

Prijzen en details van SimpleroGratis plan · vanaf $17/maand
Voor: Anyone who wants to start selling for nothing
systeme.io's free plan, with no card, covers 2,000 contacts, unlimited emails, 3 funnels, 1 course for up to 500 students and 1 community, and no plan takes a fee on sales, though payment processors still charge theirs. Startup is $17 a month for 5 courses and 5,000 contacts. It is third because it is a funnel and email builder first: the course side has video, PDFs, drip and locking but no quizzes or certificates on record, it runs only in a browser, and the free plan allows 1 automation rule and 1 email campaign.

Op basis van wat de eigen pagina’s van elke tool laten zien (prijs, gratis plan, platformen, functies en grenzen) en van wat mensen erover zeggen in openbare reviews en discussies. Niet op basis van eigen tests. De eerste plaats gaat naar de tool die bij de meeste mensen past, en de tweede en derde naar de beste keuzes voor de lezers die daarbuiten vallen.
