Podia in action

Wondering if Podia is a better platform for you? Go behind the scenes in this video walkthrough to learn the ins and outs of Podia’s software and how it can help your business.

What makes Podia different from Systeme?

It comes down to what the two platforms let you, the entrepreneur, do.

My decision to use Podia has been one of the BEST decisions I could have ever made for my small business. Not only is it super easy and intuitive to navigate (for a non-techy person like me), but the customer support is literally out of this world. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars I went with Podia!

Podia vs. Systeme.io: Which one is right for me?

Podia and Systeme both make it easy to set up courses and webinars, as well as your website, blog, affiliates, and email. You can use Stripe or PayPal as the payment gateway with both. Both tools let you make sales funnels to promote your products, set up affiliate marketing to reach new customers, and keep track of your sales, students, and stats in one dashboard.

The difference is that Systeme focuses on sales funnels. The platform guides you toward making a product with a funnel to promote it, and you’ll make your sales pages, checkout pages, and thank you pages within that funnel.

Even though it’s possible to build a traditional website for your business using Systeme, that’s not the main thing most people use it for.

Podia, on the other hand, is an all-in-one tool where your website and products shine.

You can set up a beautiful website with unlimited landing pages and a full blogging feature. Easily sell courses, digital downloads, coaching sessions, subscriptions, webinars, and anything else you like. Plus, Podia automatically generates a sales page for every product you make with a description and checkout link so you don’t have to build from scratch.

It’s also possible to build sales funnels with Podia Email, and you get unlimited free access to all email features (like tags, segments, automations, scheduling, and campaigns) for your first 100 subscribers.

Let’s look at how Podia and Systeme compare on pricing, products, and email features so you can choose the right fit for you.

Podia vs. Systeme plans and pricing

Podia has a 30-day free trial and Systeme has a limited free plan so you can find out how each tool works before spending any cash. Paid plans unlock more features as your business grows, so here’s a look at what’s included in each one.

Podia Pricing:

  • Mover: $39/month and 5% transaction fee ($33/month when paid annually): Mover includes your website builder, blog, and sales pages as well as unlimited digital products, online course creation, custom domains, customer chat messaging, and third-party code. You also get access to Podia’s friendly customer support.

  • Shaker: $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 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.

Systeme pricing:

Systeme has a free plan and three paid pricing plans. The free plan works well for test-driving the platform, but there are limits on what you can build.

  • Free, $0/month: The free plan comes with 2,000 contacts, your blog, one course, one community, three sales funnels, one automation, one workflow, one tag, and one email campaign.

  • Startup, $27/month billed monthly or $228/year paid annually: Startup includes 5,000 contacts, 10 sales funnels, five courses, 10 automation rules, 10 workflows, 10 tags, and 10 email campaigns.

  • Webinar, $47/month billed monthly or $396/year paid annually: Webinar includes 10,000 contacts, 50 sales funnels, 20 courses, 100 automation rules, 20 workflows, 100 tags, 100 email campaigns, and 10 evergreen webinars.

  • Unlimited, $97/month billed monthly or $828/year paid annually: The Unlimited plan comes with unlimited access to all Systeme features.

Create courses and webinars with Podia and Systeme

Both Podia and Systeme make it easy to sell courses and offer webinars to your audience.

With Podia, you can create and sell unlimited courses and webinars to unlimited students on the Mover plan ($39/month paid monthly, $33/month paid annually) and above.

With Systeme, you can sell one course on the Free plan, five courses on the Startup plan, 20 courses on the Webinar plan, and unlimited courses on the Unlimited plan ($97/month paid monthly, or $828/year paid annually). You can also run 10 evergreen webinars on the Webinar plan and unlimited webinars on the Unlimited plan.

First, let’s talk courses.

Both platforms have powerful online course platform features, like:

  • Unlimited lessons and modules

  • Video or text lessons

  • Upsells

  • Access duration limits

  • Drip courses

  • Instant access courses

  • Coupons

With Podia, you can also add coaching sessions within your course modules and issue course completion certificates. Do you want to include spreadsheets, presentations, surveys, or other interactive elements? Podia supports embeds from +1900 sources so the sky’s the limit for your course content.

Podia has waitlist functionality so you can gather interest about your course before you launch, as well as a presell feature that allows you to start earning money while you’re still under construction.

Next up, webinars.

Podia lets you sell live webinars or webinar replays. You can also offer webinars for free if you’d like to use them as lead magnets. Everything is already integrated with Zoom and YouTube Live to make running your webinars a breeze.

Systeme doesn’t have a live webinar feature. You can only make automated evergreen webinars, and you’re limited to one webinar page per funnel. Since you can’t run live webinars, there’s also no option to sell your webinar replays, which could mean lost revenue.

Podia is better for selling digital products, Systeme.io is better for selling physical products

You can create courses and webinars with Podia or Systeme, but if you want to offer other product types, the two platforms have different strengths.

Podia focuses on digital products, and you can sell downloads, videos, ebooks, printables, coaching, and any other type of file you like in just a few clicks.

Systeme is better for selling physical products, and you can add different variations, inventory counts, and SKUs. After you make a sale, you’ll be responsible for shipping the product to your customer. Systeme doesn’t include tools for shipping physical products, only selling them.

Podia and Systeme both have newsletters and unlimited email sends

Both Podia and Systeme have tools for building your email list and managing your email marketing.

With Podia, every user has access to every feature of Podia Email. You can send unlimited emails, build unlimited campaigns, set up marketing automations, build funnels, and tag or segment your audience however you like.

There are also dozens of professionally-designed email templates to choose from, and you can even use your previous emails as templates, so you don’t have to start from scratch each time.

Your first 100 subscribers are free. As your list grows, you can add more subscribers, but you’ll always have unlimited access to Podia’s email tools. (And if you have another email marketing tool you prefer, it’s easy to set up with Podia’s native integrations.)

With Systeme, you can have up to 2,000 subscribers on the free plan, but you only get one automation, one workflow, one tag, and one email campaign. You can unlock more of each feature on higher-tiered plans, but the only way to get unlimited everything is on the $97/month Unlimited plan.
