Best for a course maker wanting funnels, email and an app
Zenler covers courses, live classes, funnels, email, community and a branded mobile app, with no platform fee on sales. Starter at $47 a month on annual billing is capped at 5 courses and 500 people with no custom domain, and AI and memberships sit on higher plans.
Who Zenler is for

Who Zenler is not for
- Tight if you start on Starter, with 5 courses, 500 people, 1 site and no custom domain
- Skip it if you want memberships cheaply, as they need Pro at $97
- Watch out: AI agents, support-agent messages and AI credits are only on Pro and Premium
- Watch out: the page's social tags mention a $217 Premium price but its table shows $277 annual, and a launch discount can show a crossed-out price

Keep Zenler, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Zenler you would be making live video to hundreds of people at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $564 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and digital downloads: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Live video to hundreds of people at once.
- 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches and live sessions. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Zenler’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.
