Why creators are making the switch from Patreon to Podia.
"What attracted me to Podia as a content creator was the ability to build and foster a community while developing all my content in one place. I don't know any other platform that does these two things so well."
Tayo Rockson
Author, consultant, professor, & speaker
I was blown away by Podia's feature set, UX, and customer service. It’s a delight to use. It has everything any course-maker could ask for!

Podia allowed me to launch a custom storefront for my fantasy console, Pixel Vision 8, in no time at all! What I loved most about Podia was how it enabled a unique monetization model around one-off purchases, monthly membership subscriptions, and handcrafted courses.
