Sell Courses for Free — No Transaction Fee Attached
Although Podia offers a Free plan, it comes with a 5%—10% transaction fee for courses sold through the platform. On the other hand, the Masteriyo Free plan lets you sell courses and receive payment at no added cost.
This plugin is crazy simple to get started, and is much faster than any other LMS that I’ve tested in the past weeks. Faster in terms of course creation but also faster on the front-end for students.
