Podia Reviews & Product Details

I love the affordability and convenience for starters. Creating a course and program is easy for me as one who is starting out.

I just don't like that Podia isn't funnel-driven and the email automation isn't working for my account. Also I can't sell products. They're are only options for digital downloads and services.

I'm able to create a platform for my clients to utilize my course - watch videos, answer questions, download files, etc. I can also upsell of service. I can create a website. I can use integrations such as Convertkit, Active Campaign, Zoom.

An excellent platform for storing and conducting online courses. I like the simple and easy-to-understand design, the simplicity of creating courses, the colourful pages in templates.

It would be nice to have a free version with certain limits to test the functionality well.

Podia solves the problem of the inconvenience of many online learning platforms. They are often quite difficult for students to understand. But Podia offers excellent and perfectly structured information. It's easy and convenient to create courses.

I use podia for courses and appreciate how easy it is to upload my videos and set up my sales page. I also like the upscale feature.

The email options are limited but I'm told they're working on this.

I am selling courses and memberships and like having everything all in one platform.

Very simple to use and intuitive, it makes it easy to sell digital products and courses in no time. It's really easy to setup everything, and they have affordable plans without fees.

It's hard to personalize your sales pages as their editor is limited. That would be great to have more options of styling and also add media easier like timers etc...

I was looking for a simple solution to sell digital products and saw some video reviews so I tried it and really enjoy using it as it make everything easy and simple.

The management abilities are extensive and the interface can be easily figured out with no tutorial

I didn't dislike much about the program. The price is a bit high depending on what you need.

I'm able to host online courses and manage every aspect of them in the same place

Easy to use. To build a site, a landing page, a course can go really fast. It looks good, clean and it's also user-friendly for clients. I moved from a Wordpress site because it's easier with Podia, no need for updates or solving problems and, in the end, it isn't that much more expensive (if it actually is).

I cannot say something isn't working well. There are one or two features I would like to have, like being able to copy lessons and modules from one course to another, but I guess it will evolve to that some day.

Building a site and providing online courses.

I am requiring a Podia account for students who enroll in my paid workshops and courses from May 22, 2023 forward. The growth of Podia services is eliminating (totally!) the need for a truly SOLO creator to need anything else based on the SOLO Lady Creator system I have developed.

I am working to increase my knowledge of Podia to an expertise level, not Podia certifications but my working knowledge to help my students learn its full capabilities.

Podia is an excellent website creator, my email marketing service, community, product and course delivery system. Live humans support, always adding more features, making it a One Stop Shop!

I really don't have any dislikes/ haven't found any downsides.

My current and potential clients can find everything they need on my Podia website; I can update my website, interact with my community, add new products, track email campaigns, and view audience activity. Being able to accomplish that from a single platform is a great convenience for all.

Being able to sell and email and blog all in one spot!

Only thing isn't being able to go live in community for live Q&As or trainings.

Being able to streamline my business in one software vs three or four! Saves so much money!

Using podia for years so couldn’t recommend it more. It’s especially great for people like me who want a tool that is both simple for the end-user and the content creator. Many tools out there just have such a bad UX for the end-user and this one makes a lot of things right.

The fact that the ability to add custom code is in the higher pricing tier.

Have all my courses, books, templates, community, and emails in one place.

I enjoy Podia for its simplicity and beauty. I appreciate the entrepreneurial smartness in creating such a precise and lean product, ease of use, very fast and thorough support, balanced functionalities outweighs the frustrations. As far as I know I'll keep using it. From many angles, it's obvious that it wasn't just designed to be the next average thing, but it was carefully planned and optimized to solve specific problems and really make a difference. It was precisely what I was looking for for a solopreneur that is looking for lean features that just work. I loved how they were honestly able to compare themselves to other solutions and companies without bragging or other ego dynamics, and how they presented themselves as the solution with clarity. It shows a lot of great signs of a company I'm inclined to work with.

some bugs with the editor were really annoying. Solved now.

managing all my digital information in one simple platform. Super useful and powerful.

Podia simplifies website & selling online

Provide more options to schedule/pay for appt.

I have simplified my business with Podia because I host my online classes, showcase freebies and digital downloadable products, build a community and accept payment. Their tech support is the BOMB-DIGGITY and when I get stuck or have a question if it's not part of their resources, I can just reach out and they help me through it! They are amazing!! HIGHLY recommend Podia!

I am definitely no professional at figuring out how to navigate online platforms. I found the Podia site pretty easy to navigate, and not only is their help menu super helpful, but hands down, they have the most wonderful support staff who respond to any questions you have that you haven't been able to figure out.

I have signed up for notifications of new posts in the podia community, and they do not offer a digest version of this, which is a shame. I may just Unfollow all the topics that I am interested in, and then from time to time I can go through and see if there's anything of interest to me. A minor inconvenience.

I had a couple of online workshops for on-demand classes via a platform that has now seized operating. So I had to migrate all my information to this new site. Thank goodness Podia is there. I was able to reconnect all my students with the workshops they had paid for so they are very happy campers. Also, they offer the opportunity to create community, free or paid, and to offer coaching.

0% fees on all sales Community Coursees

No subscription support for PayPal, nothing more

I run my online course / mentoring / community business

Podia is an All-In-One platform for creators to showcase their products, information, and stories for all to see. Moreover, you can also generate passive income using the built in email, community, and membership capabilities. I love it! One place - Does it all!

I dislike the fact Podia charges so much to embed a pop-up. I also dislike not having a "blog" feature with sidebars and other links a blog format has. Podia, please add this feature!

No issues. Chat is available. Response to emails is less than 24 hours. All questions answered.

Podia is super easy and fun to use! The whole design is incredibly simple - you never feel overwhelmed or confused (I'm looking at you, Wordpress!). It's very efficient - meaning that whatever you are trying to do - it has a function for that. And if you are unsure about say, whether your product is an online download or a webinar, they can help you with that! The staff is incredibly helpful and insightful with whatever query you may have, big or small.

I can't think of any downsides, really, I haven't had a problem yet. The only thing is that sometimes there is a bit of a delay in the response from the Podia team, but this is a very minor delay.

I had help with putting together a website with Podia. I had extensive help with the set-up. My friend walked me through it. I was amazed at how easy and simple and intuitive using Podia was. I am using it for a website that sells online courses. I have made 20x sales in about a month and I couldn't be happier. Anytime I hit a snag or have a question I just send one through the chat-box and I get a very helpful response in minutes, usually.

I switched to Podia after using/researching a number of the other platforms like Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, WordPress plugins, etc. (even clickfunnels). Podia is SUPER streamlined, very easy to use, way more affordable, and beautiful for the user (not just for the content creator).

The only thing I wish they had was the original landing page feature that they removed. It allowed someone to download a digital product by entering their email, but without creating a whole account for all your courses.

Online courses, digital downloads/workbooks, monthly memberships, etc.

Podia is a beautiful tool. It has an amazing design and offers all features for course hosting (and payment management). Instead of charging for each sale, it only charges a fixed amount per month. It is perfect for people who makes a high volume of sales per month, what will be my case next year, and I'm sure I'll switch to Podia. Currently, I'm using a tool called Hotmart. The tool is also good (but Podia is better), but it charges 10% for each sale, what is very very high.

I think Podia could also offer an option to charge for each sale. I haven't switched to Podia yet because of this. Currently, I have a low amount of sales (~ $250 / month) and it is better to pay Hotmart 10% fee. If Podia implements this type of plan, teachers with low volume of sales will be able to use it.

I have subscribed for the trial. I've hosted one of my online courses there to test, and I really really liked it. The best thing, as I said, is that it only charges a fixed amount per month. Of course you'll need to pay for payment management (Stripe) but the fee is very low compared to other membership areas tools.

Its very easy to use and I have created a lot of programs in that.

A little more detail brief on how to add multiple emails at one shot while inviting people

I loved creating programs and sections in podia, it helped me create a lot of my videos converted into courses
