Business metrics

• Podia: covers page views, sales, emails, and simple student progress—enough for a solo creator or small team.

• Teachable: more course-centric analytics lecture engagement, quiz scores, student progress exports.

If you iterate your curriculum with data, Teachable’s reporting saves time.

Community, live sessions, and events

• Podia: lightweight community spaces and posts; friendly workshop flow for live events and replays.

• Teachable: community exists but isn’t the hero; most live sessions run via Zoom or similar embeds on both platforms.

If community and launches are central, Podia is smoother out of the box.

Customization & branding

• Podia: opinionated templates—fast to ship, fewer deep theme edits.

• Teachable: more control within the course structure, still “platform-style.”

If heavy design control is crucial, consider a custom site builder for marketing pages and embed checkout from either platform.

Integrations & ecosystem

• Both integrate with common email, analytics, and automation tools.

• Zapier fills the gaps.

• Choose based on your stack: whichever has the one or two integrations you can’t live without usually wins.

Pricing overview (snapshot logic, not exact dollars)

• Entry plans differ on fees, limits (products, admins, students), and email sends (Podia).

• Mid and top plans unlock advanced assessments (Teachable) or higher email limits/community (Podia).

• Check for VAT/tax handling and country-specific payouts.

Checklist:

1. List must-haves → map to plan tier.

2. Confirm fees and payout timing for your country.

3. Estimate total cost with your email and video hosting choices.

Decision table: pick fast

Migration tips (save headaches)

1. Inventory your assets: videos, PDFs, downloads, quizzes, certificates.

2. Pilot one small course first; check playback, captions, quiz logic, and progress data.

3. Recreate pricing (coupons, bumps, bundles) and run test checkouts.

4. Email: import subscribers, recreate automations, test the welcome sequence.

5. Analytics: confirm events and revenue tracking before launch day.

6. Inform students with clear timelines and a “what changed” note.
