And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 66 of the 98 other course and community platforms we grade. - You could make: Online courses: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. - You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Online courses, Affiliate tracking, Partner payouts ## Alternatives - [Hotmart](https://toolgpa.com/tools/hotmart): Sell courses and digital products for a cut of each sale.
