Simplero
All-in-one platform for courses, community, email and coaching
Our verdict
Second of our top three course and community platforms
For: 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.

Best for coaches who want everything in one account
Simplero is an all-in-one for coaches: courses, communities, coaching programs, email with a CRM, funnels and checkout, with no fee on sales and an app its members rate highly. Starter is $59 a month billed yearly, but only for 500 contacts and 10 products. Grow your list and the price climbs: $134 at 10,000 contacts.
Who Simplero is for
- Great if you're a coach replacing separate email, course and checkout tools
- Handy when you sell high-ticket coaching through applications and pipelines
- Good for creators who want a CRM that shows each contact's whole history
Who Simplero is not for
- Tight if you start on Starter, with 10 products, 10 courses and 1 site or community
- Pricey if your list is big, as every plan climbs with contacts
- Skip it if you need affiliates or an API on a budget, since they start on Scale at $149
Why Simplero gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $59 a month billed yearly for 500 contacts, and Simplero takes no fee on sales, so $2,000 of sales costs $59 a month, at the top of this category's dearer quarter. Contacts push it up: Starter is $134 at 10,000.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day trial with every feature, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. There's a full refund in the first 30 days after that.
- BFeaturesCourses with quizzes and certificates, memberships, communities with live events, 1:1 and group coaching with client portals, email with a CRM and automations, funnels, checkout with tax handling and AI. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the job.
- AEase of use4.85 from 1,256 App Store ratings, in the top band. Members get lessons, quizzes and the community in one app.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, PayPal, Zoom, Zapier, Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, and an API from Scale. No desktop app, which an A needs.

Keep Simplero, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Simplero you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 16 of the 18 other course and community platforms we grade. It costs $708 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Zoom among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Simplero’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
