Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Teachable at $39/mo, against Podia at $42/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Podia tops out at $150/mo, Teachable at $189/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Recently moved: Teachable (2026-09-03). A change only counts once a second clean read agrees.
- Teachable: We read the same $39/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- Work the percentage out at the revenue you expect — a higher monthly plan can cost less once sales start.
- Entry rows usually carry the platform’s own branding on the checkout your buyers see.
- Every row links the platform’s own pricing page; the fee schedule lives there, not here.
