About Podia

Podia bundles courses, digital downloads, coaching, a website and email marketing into one straightforward subscription, and is known for being easy to get started with. Customers are unlimited on every plan, so a growing student base does not push you up a tier.

What is metered instead is the email list. Its plans include a small number of email contacts and sell more in steps, which is worth checking separately from your student numbers, because the two are not the same thing on this platform.

Podia was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in New York, United States.

We may earn a commission when you click through to a provider. Any offer shown is the provider’s own, and we check each one before it appears. Neither ever affects ranking or data shown. Read our terms.
