It's my favourite platform to build on for a reason. When I hand over sites to my clients, they are edit themselves which is incredibly important for any creator or small business owner. They are always announcing new features to help their users and they really listen to their customers. > > **Cons**: Literally the only con (and this is as a web designer so this likely isn't a deal breaker for many others) is that as of right now we can't do a drop-down sub menu in our navigation. That's literally the only complaint I have hah\! > > I have been a certified Podia Pro for a few years now and I can honestly say I don't want to build for my clients on any other platform. Not only is it incredibly easy to use as a designer... but I can actually hand over a website to my client that THEY can edit afterwards (I can't say the same for when I was building on other platforms). Their team is always incredibly responsive to support requests, and they iterate on their features as users share their feedback which feels like something very rare these days for other companies. I'm about as loyal as loyal can get to Podia - I love it\! ----- ### "Podia Rocks\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Glenn** | *27 August 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great templates to get started, awesome and responsive customer service group, and the overall product/service is easy to navigate. Their value is one of the best out there. Also loved the awesome hours of their customer service as I"m an early riser. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything at the moment. I've worked with other similar services and Podia is by far the best. > > Great product, great folks, and the overall setup is very easy to follow. Whenever I'm asked what online service to use I immediately reccomment Podia. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Highly Recommend Podia for Creators" — 5.0/5 > **Leslie** | *27 August 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a creator, I like that it's easy to use. When I started using Podia, I had no experience with website development and design. I was able to teach myself how to do everything I needed within the site and over the years, it's become easier and easier with templates and site-wide branding. > > **Cons**: Everything I liked the least has been changed - for example, I host a lot of in-person and online events and when I first joined, there wasn't a way to do registration easily for in person events. Now there is. Similar with payment plans for clients. I can now set up payments for clients to choose pay in full or payment plan. Every con has turned into a pro\! > > I've used Podia for 5 years and am so glad I chose this platform for my business. I'm a coach and host an online membership community. The platform has been easy to use for me as a creator and I've received feedback from my community members they love the interface as well. As a creator, the templates, customization options and ease of use helps me save time, money and energy when I'm creating new products and working on my site. Highly recommend\! ----- ### "Pleasantly Surprised and Relieved." — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *22 August 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Incredibly robust suite of tools all in one place. 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. ----- 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
