### "I'm in love with Podia! Everything I ever wanted - almost! "

May 17, 2019

5.0

Wonderful Easy to use, easy integrations and I can dump some other things I never loved.

Pros

Ease of use and the subdomain. Plus it does products , classes and membership - all I ever wanted in one place.

Cons

No APP yet and no subscriptions with Paypal yet. But I know they are working on that

Hi Louise! I know you know this because you're still a valued Podia customer all these years later, but I also wanted to let anyone reading this review know that Paypal subscriptions are available on the Shaker plan for users who want to be able to offer that feature to their audience. All the best, Mandi from Podia

### "Loving Podia "

March 18, 2019

5.0

I am creating online courses for meditation. So far, I have LOVED the fact that I can offer digital downloads as well as courses, free products and everything is very mobile friendly - which is extremely important for the work that I do, as most people will be listening to meditations on their phones!

Pros

Probably the thing that I appreciate most from Podia is their customer support. I trial tested a few different platforms, and even though Podia doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the others, their unbelievably fast and friendly customer service was way ahead of the pack! It's really important to me that my students are able to get the help they need with the software or any issues that I can't handle on my end. Podia is also just incredibly easy to use, you can get a course up and running in a matter of hours. I've really enjoyed creating on their platform.

Cons

So far, the only thing I dislike is the inability to categorize products. Having everything on your storefront in a big, long list isn't the most user-friendly way to show things.

### "5 Star Review for Podia as an online class platform"

February 14, 2019

5.0

My overall experience has been wonderful. While I was getting set up, I sent a LOT of questions every day and someone was always available and super willing to help. I have just REALLY enjoyed the platform. I haven't taught classes through an online platform before (only as separate digital downloads people purchase) and Podia has made the transition SO easy.

Pros

Podia is easy to use and it is BEAUTIFUL. The staff is super available for support and the platform is growing and being added to all the time. I LOVE how the storefront is integrated, so I was able to close my shopify account (with all the other class platforms I was looking at, I would have had to keep shopify as well). It is truly all in one. I love the ability to sell courses, digital downloads, AND memberships all in one place-- no extra apps or add ons needed. It's simple, easy, and clear.

Cons

There are a few limitations still with the exact customizations to my sales and course pages BUT they are minimal, and in the month I have been involved in Podia, there have already been big improvements in this area so I know more are coming!

### "Literally helped us start a new business division"

August 23, 2019

5.0

We buy and grow small companies. A lot of people began asking how we do that, so we joined Podia and launched a simple sales page. Overnight we made $10,000 and realized the power of sharing our expertise. Because of this, our course on Podia and the new opportunities it's led to are quite literally creating a new business division for our company.

Pros

Fast, live support, rapid improvements from the development team, and marketing help with case studies, interviews, and free webinars.

Cons

Couldn't set up my custom domain instantly, required about a day of waiting and manual team setup. Wish I knew this earlier since I signed up the day before launching. :P

### "Perfect for Infopreneurs"

September 5, 2019

5.0

Since the late 90s, I've demoed or worked with at least 15 or 20 solutions for digital download and course delivery ... from Wordpress plugins to dedicated platforms. Podia is the only one that makes me smile!

Pros

This platform is definitely not the traditional LMS (Learning Management System) which targets the corporate and academic worlds. Instead, Podia has designed their platform for entrepreneurs and their customers. The interface is beautiful, and the attention to detail is exceptional. They've really thought through the course-delivery experience, and have come up with something special. As well, their customer support is stellar.

Cons

Initially, I found some of the settings confusing and counter-intuitive. And it was hard to find the Help docs. However, Podia is in the midst of redesigning their UI, so I look forward to seeing how they develop.

### "A great software to sale online course! "

March 26, 2021

5.0

Cons

### "Disappointed"

February 22, 2023

3.0

Pros

easy visual to look at as a customer and navigate

Cons

I have had customers complain to me because when they click my products (coaching sessions specifically), they are being required to enter their email address and "sign up" before even being able to view my calendar availability. This feature should be optional for products. I am finding that podia is not as "user friendly" as I was led to believe. Also, the staff work from 9-5 but more often than not they are unavailable and I'm met with an automated response to send an email. Again, not very convenient for paying customers such as myself.

### "The best customer service ever"

July 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love how quickly I get response from the team and I'm never made to feel as though my question is silly - I am a complete new starter with anything technical so this is all brand new to me and it's essential I feel supported as I'm doing everything else on my own!

Cons

I would love for my customers to be able to access their content without having to use a password as they sign up to get it, and then have to sign in again to get my downloads (but I do understand why this is probably necessary)

### "I love Podia! "

May 30, 2019

5.0

Podia allows my business to manage online learning courses and membership models easily and without a lot of integration hassle. Unexpectedly using Podia has improved our automation flows.

Pros

It's easy to use and to customize. Although Podia looks simple and is simple to use, it is packed full of functionality and has an unbeatable price especially for the space.

Cons

Some of the backend access needs are organized in a way that makes it a bit hard to figure where to look in the beginning but once you know where things generally are, it's easy to manage.

### "Perfect for Digital Creators"

November 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

Podia is a one-stop shop for digital creators. I don't have to worry about setting up different tools to work together...I can manage everything I need from one place. It's great to have the video hosting, email campaigns, memberships, and digital storefront built in and accessible from one place.

Cons

Sometimes the user interface can be a bit tough to navigate, specifically in the area of Podia where you are customizing the design of your storefront.

Pros

Easy, cool, all well thought, simplified to the max but still flexible, support 101, affordable, perfect for people inexperienced in creating a website.

### "Podia is the One-Stop Site for Creators!"

November 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

Where do I start? Podia is unlike any other site out there that's made for creators so creators can easily build a community and make money. Email marketing, online courses, digital downloads, even a blog, and website - you can do ALL of that easily on Podia. You keep what you make. AND the price is very affordable too. Great customer support with tons of tutorials.

Cons

It can be a little overwhelming at first but their support is amazing!

### "J'ai choisi Podia pour mes formations en ligne"

June 22, 2023

4.0

Pros

Les gros avantages de Podia : son prix et sa facilité d'utilisation, tout est inclus quand on est débutant, de la solution de paiement à la création complète d'un catalogue de formations en ligne.

Cons

Podia a aussi des inconvénients. Forcément, puisque très facile et très guidée, la solution n'offre pas beaucoup de perspectives de personnalisation et ça manque un peu...
