How to choose paywall & subscription tools for online courses & cohorts
All-in-one course platforms charge a monthly fee or a revenue share and give you hosting, payments, drip, quizzes and an affiliate programme; self-hosted plugins cost less but leave you running video hosting and checkout. Decide first whether you are selling one course or building a school, because migrating a student base is genuinely painful.
