Terrible

Terrible. Please save yourself the hassle. False advertising, tech issues, and a very limited platform will cost you SO much money in the long run. They change things on the fly the violate what they initially promise. This is NOT a scalable platform at all. There are way better platforms out there such as LearnWorlds.

Just signed up and this has been an eye...

Just signed up and this has been an eye opener. "Support" is terrible; there is none. Programmes listed are available to clients despite having clear dates for release - others don't get emailed at all. A new business with online courses and we've been left high and dry with this platfrom. Poor all round.

Podia is truly one of the worst...

Podia is truly one of the worst platforms I have ever worked with! It is horrible in the functionality is seriously lacking! If you are expecting to build a website where you have products, customers, customer, and receive payment, do not count on Podia! It interfaces with stripe, and they will always blame stripe and have you going around and around in circles trying to resolve what is their problem. They point the finger and all of the platforms that they in our face with. Support team is seriously lacking! I have found them to be completely ignorant, and some regards with podia, and system flies in general. Save yourself the hassle and spend the money and go elsewhere!

You outgrow it fast

Podia's simplicity becomes a ceiling — no automation, no AI, and no way to scale without hiring extra people.

No mobile app

In a mobile-first world, forcing learners to use a browser kills engagement and completion rates.

Dead-end learning experience

No live sessions, no real-time chat, no dynamic communities.

Cookie-cutter design

Every Podia site looks the same. You can't truly own your brand, your layout, or your learning experience.

Bloated real cost

You'll pay extra for live events, tax tools, analytics, and integrations— making your affordable plan costly.

Reasons creators are switching from Podia to Graphy

If you're scaling past a single course, Graphy replaces Podia plus the three plugins you had to bolt onto it.

The big problem with
podia

Podia is a good fit for individuals just starting out and looking for an accessible platform to sell online courses, memberships, digital downloads, and webinars. But when it comes to scaling up it falls a bit short.

Here's the catch:

  • Charges a 10% revenue share on all your earnings
  • Requires additional purchases for live webinars (Zoom)
  • Marketing and affiliate tools locked behind premium plans Limited support

Here's the truth: Relying solely on Podia might be restricting your potential growth and profitability.
