Total value for the money in contrast to building a wordpress site with membership, courses, custom forms, audio / video streaming. All without the hassle of needing to be a web designer or css wizard. Support is a breeze to get on chat and they're super proactive\! > > **Cons**: I don't have any yet. I contacted support because I ran into a snap trying to import my wix blog unsuccessfully. But it is due to wix not allowing one to adjust the feed settings. I also inquired about being able to integrate Gelato or redbubble print on demand products which currently is not available. However, all my suggestions and inquiries were added to future feature requests. This is definitely a pro even though the options aren't currently available. > > I'm delighted to find Podia after wrestling with wix and wordpress for years. I have lost so much time and money between those platforms. Podia gives me the freedom to focus on creating quality content in my unique voice. Not having to deal with all the backend stuff. For the price, I am happy to pay their subscription fee all in one place. Not payments to multiple third party services that make one site, like wordpress and plugins. ----- ### "Run away as soon as possible" — 1.0/5 > **Mickey** | *28 July 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Only the pricing, witch is cheaper then other solutions, but completely not worth the delta. Nothing ever works, always something broken, horrible customer support. > > **Cons**: The app is so buggy and so not working well, it's amazing i was able to live with it for more then a year until i got the courage to leave to another supplier. > > HORRIBLE, keep away if you care about your data, nerves and financials. Many things don't work in the system and the customer support is always "I'm sorry, i know it's frustrating, we will pass to our developers, but can't say when and how the issues will be resolved". No Value for money at all. Bad and long learning curve to working with their financials, all emails are marked as spam and generally the system sucks. They make changes to basic logic in the system without any alerting to the customers, no explanation of what is about to happen, simply change one day and we should work around it, while it's still with bugs and issues. The subscription is not actually as per the plan, they give you additional seats, but only the owner for example is able to answer messages form the students, so they charge you, but not really supplying the goods. ----- ### "Helpful Business Multitool" — 4.0/5 > **Maddi** | *23 July 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love all of the different functions that can replace multiple other tools. I have my website, email marketing, community memberships, and client portals all on Podia. Their support team is also very helpful \& responsive. > > **Cons**: I wish the websites were a little more customizable (although I really love what I've built), and I have to create a new "course" for each client to use as a portal, which is cumbersome > > I started my business in October of 2024 \& started using Podia right away. It has been affordable as it combines so many tools into one. I love, love, love the website I have created on the platform, and it was super easy to do. Their support is very helpful when I have questions. The courses are a little confusing to some of my clients, with the lessons vs. discussion areas. Overall it has helped me grow my business a great deal in the last 9 months. ----- ### "Podia, a decent creator starter platform" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *28 February 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. Number of features for the price. 30 day trial. Quick set up and use. Blog, products, etc. > > **Cons**: Limited features, only one domain or name, set up for single users, instead of multiple users. > > Pretty good overall. Simple to set up and use. I needed more though, so, I had to upgrade. ----- ### "I love hosting my digital store and courses on Podia\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *25 May 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love hosting courses and digital products on Podia. It's user-friendly interface makes it easy to set up and edit as my business needs change. > > **Cons**: It's a little on the expensive side, but they do have a 30 day free trial for you to get a feel for the services and options. > > Overall, I've been really happy with using Podia. I don't have a ton of digital products right now, but I love the way my course is set up. It's easy for my clients and audience to access and easy for to edit as my needs change. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/160788/coach?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/160788/coach) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
