Podia and FastSpring have different functionality, so the right choice depends on what you need in your business.
Podia is an all-in-one platform for building an online business. It includes your website, landing pages, blog, digital products, courses, email, affiliates, and checkout.
FastSpring is a payment processing platform. It includes your checkout cart and payment features like B2B invoicing, merchant of record, and currency localization.
FastSpring doesn’t list prices on its website, and you’ll also need to account for the price of other integrations like your email marketing tool, digital product platform, and website builder since these aren’t included.
Podia has everything under one roof, with lots of tools for one fair price. Here’s a quick look at some of Podia’s built-in features:
-
Build a customizable website, blog, and unlimited landing pages for your products
-
Sell digital products like coaching, webinars, downloads, and online courses
-
Use the online course builder to make video, image, audio, and text lessons as well as quizzes, course comments, and other interactive elements
-
Offer lead magnets to grow your email list and add email sign-up forms throughout your website
-
Set up sales funnels and automated email marketing campaigns, or simply send great-looking newsletters
-
Add upsells, payment plans, access limits, seat limits, and coupons
On the pricing side, Podia has a 30-day free trial with all features so you can test everything out before you pay. After the trial, you can choose from two pricing plans:
-
Mover plan: $39/month and 5% transaction fee ($33/month when paid annually): This plan includes your website, blog, and sales pages as well as unlimited digital products, online course creation, and third-party code. You also get Podia’s friendly customer support.
-
Shaker plan: $89/month and 0% transaction fee ($75/month when paid annually): Shaker includes all the Mover features plus your own affiliate program.
All Podia plans include all email marketing features (like automations, newsletters, email templates, segmentation, tagging, and campaigns) for up to 100 subscribers. If you like, you can upgrade your Podia Email plan to add more subscribers as your email list grows.
If you sign up for an annual Mover or Shaker plan, Podia includes a free migration service. This means our team will move your products and customers over from another platform (like Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, etc.) for free so you can get started fast.
