Are you ready to create and sell an online course for your business?
And you don’t want a separate tool to deliver it – you want it inside your WordPress website?

Another course platform???
Why would I get this one instead of Gurucan or Fresh LMS?

Obviously, I had a couple of issues with display on the Courses page, and I haven’t even set up my payment gateways yet. But I do think this option has promise. It’s all there and has a tonne of features you will otherwise page much more for like: drip feed, quizzes and more.
Also, it’s currently on sale with AppSumo for $39USD which is just like 2 months of Thinkific. Bargain.
My main reservation is
What if it crashed my site?
So I used a whole new domain to practice on. Which kind of removes the benefit of having it all on your site….
