Top 10 Course Platforms for Educators

By /

If you’re an educator building digital courses today, you’re spoiled for choices — Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia, Graphy, and a dozen others all promise the same thing: “Everything you need to teach online.”

But once you dive in, you quickly realize the truth.
Some platforms are too complex.
Some are too expensive.
Some force you to use 5–7 extra tools just to get one course running.
Some take heavy cuts from your earnings.

That’s why educators are rethinking their stack and choosing platforms that are simpler, faster, and more creator-first.

Let’s break down the top 10 course platforms — and then we’ll dive into why Manchly is quietly becoming the preferred choice for modern educators.
