The best course platform to host your course depends on your unique needs as a course creator. Standalone platforms like Teachable and Thinkific give you control over your content and data—plus they integrate with Shopify. All-in-one course platforms like Kajabi are more expensive but offer everything you need to build and market your course in one place. While online course marketplaces like Udemy and Skillshare give you less control over your pricing and data, they come with a built-in audience to surface your course too.
