Our verdict on Kourses
Kourses is a hosted web platform for creators, coaches, educators, experts, and entrepreneurs who want to sell online courses, memberships, communities, or digital products. It combines course delivery, private community spaces, membership tiers, content access controls, checkout pages, payments, hosting, and custom domains. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Its strongest fit is a solo creator or small education business that wants course memberships and community features without a high starting price.
Pricing is structured around Starter, Pro, and Unlimited, with monthly and annual billing. Starter costs $15 per month monthly or $9 per month on annual billing and includes 100 members and 1 published product. Pro costs $59 monthly or $49 on annual billing, increasing the limits to 1,000 members and 10 published products. Unlimited costs $99 monthly or $79 on annual billing, with unlimited members and products. The plans include custom domain support and 0% transaction fees; the monthly Starter plan also lists 1 business website, while Unlimited lists 2 on monthly billing.
The platform’s feature depth centers on selling and delivering paid content. It supports one-time payments, subscriptions, instalment plans, coupons, order bumps, and one-click upsells, alongside video and file hosting, AI video transcription, and drip scheduling for lessons and modules. Integrations include ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, Zapier, webhooks, webinar tools, and transactional email services. Choose Kourses if you need an integrated course-and-membership site with flexible billing and a low annual entry price. Look elsewhere if your membership is likely to exceed 100 members while remaining on Starter, or if you need a native platform beyond the web.
