Podia has no free plan, and its cheapest plan takes a cut of each sale. Here are six alternatives, ranked by what you keep from the same month of sales. We make OneSol, so check our row hardest — every fee links to the tool's own pricing page.
Free to start · No credit card · Keep 100% of your sales
Short answer
The best Podia alternatives are OneSol, Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Payhip and Stan Store. Podia has no free plan, and its cheapest plan takes a transaction fee on each sale. OneSol sells courses, digital products and memberships on Pro ($9/month) with 0% taken from each sale, paid into your own Stripe, PayPal or Razorpay account. The page itself is free with no credit card.
Podia is a capable all-in-one for creators, but it charges a monthly subscription before you've made a sale. OneSol is the alternative that lets you sell courses, digital products and memberships from a single link, take payments to your own Stripe, and add AI forms, bookings and a link-in-bio — free to start.
Ranked by what you keep
Each tool is ranked on the same month: a $29 product sold 25 times ($725 of sales), on whichever of its plans leaves you the most, billed monthly, at Stripe’s standard US card rate. We make OneSol, so read our row with that in mind — then check every number against the source link under it.

OneSol takes nothing from your sales because the money never reaches us — customers pay into your own Stripe, PayPal or Razorpay account. Card processing is your processor’s charge, which everyone here pays.
