Simple

Tired of Overpriced Course Platforms?

You're not alone. Kajabi starts at $179/mo. Skool is $99/mo. For most creators, that's hundreds a year on features they never touch.

Meanwhile, you're trying to build your business, serve your students, and actually make a profit - not fund some tech giant's yacht collection.

There's a better way.

Everything You Need. Zero Hassle.

CourseSpaces gives you professional-grade tools without the enterprise-grade price tag.

AI Course Assistant

Tell Roger, our built-in AI assistant, what you want to teach and it helps you draft your course outline - structure, modules, and lessons - so you start from a solid first draft instead of a blank page. You bring the expertise; it handles the busywork.

No Platform Fees

Keep 100% of your revenue (minus standard Stripe fees). No "success tax" on your growth. Predictable costs help you plan and scale faster.

Built-in Video Hosting

Professional video hosting via Bunny.net included. No need for YouTube or Vimeo subscriptions. Lightning-fast delivery worldwide for your students.

Community & Real-time Chat

Foster deep engagement with course-specific communities and real-time 1:1 messaging. Support your students instantly within the platform.

Professional Certificates

Automatically reward student achievements with beautiful, branded certificates upon course completion. Boost credibility and student completion rates.

Email Drip Campaigns

Automate personalized engagement emails for your students. Welcome new enrollments, re-engage inactive learners, and celebrate progress milestones and course completion with student-focused drip campaigns, not bulk marketing blasts.

And there's more

Scored Assessments

Clients rate themselves 1-10, then again later - so they see exactly how far they've come. Cohort view included.

Challenge Rounds

Habit challenges now have a real finish line, and students can start a fresh round with a clean streak.

Push Notifications

Reach students on their phone the moment you post, instead of hoping an email gets opened. Fully opt-in.

Confusion Radar

See exactly where students get stuck - lessons ranked by where they ask for help, with an AI summary of the themes.

In-Lesson AI Tutor

An AI study buddy in every lesson, answering from that lesson's material alone. Text lessons get automatic key takeaways.

Your Own Affiliates

Let others sell your courses for you. Tracked links, commission you set, renewals counted, clear payout dates.

Simpler. And Cheaper.

We don't try to out-feature the big platforms. We give you what you actually need - in a tool that's easier to use and kinder to your wallet.

Creator Story

One of the creators already building on CourseSpaces.

Justine Lette

Justine runs Hypnosis New Zealand, the country's largest hypnotherapy support organisation. She was paying over $100/month on another platform and only using a fraction of the features — sound familiar?

She switched to CourseSpaces, used the AI course builder to map out her training structure without the usual overwhelm, and now keeps 100% of her revenue with zero platform commission.

Built-in video hosting, drip campaigns, certificates, community — everything she needs in one place, at a fraction of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CourseSpaces

How does CourseSpaces compare to platforms like Kajabi or Skool?

CourseSpaces is designed for creators who want a platform that's simple, beautiful, and just works - without the bloat. Unlike Kajabi's complex interface or Skool's fee-heavy approach, we give you an intuitive platform that combines course creation, community, and business tools in one streamlined space. You can try it all free with no credit card, and if you continue it's a fair, flat price ($47/mo) - no tiers to decode.

How long is the free trial, and what happens at the end?

Your trial runs for 30 days with full access to everything — no credit card, no restrictions. We don't take a card up front, so nothing happens automatically when it ends. If you want to keep going, you choose to subscribe at $47/mo. If you don't, your account simply pauses and your content is stored safely for three months.

What's included if I continue at $47/mo?

Nothing to pay now — your trial is completely free and we don't take a card up front. If you decide to continue afterwards, the plan is a flat $47/mo and includes:

  • Unlimited courses, products & landing pages
  • Up to 1000 active students (unlimited inactive members)
  • 1 TB of video bandwidth per month (then $10/TB)
  • AI course assistant — 1,500 messages/mo
  • Hosted video, community spaces & real-time chat
  • Built-in community & in-app notifications (connect your own email tool for newsletters)
  • No transaction fees (only Stripe's standard processing)
  • Email & community support

How much video storage and bandwidth do I get?

Your plan includes 1 Terabyte of video bandwidth every month — thousands of video views from your students — with extra bandwidth at $10/TB if you ever need it. Video hosting is built in and optimised for smooth streaming, so there's no need for YouTube or external platforms.

What kind of support do you provide?

We provide comprehensive support through our dedicated support system, which is accessible directly within the app. Our team understands the unique needs of course creators and entrepreneurs, so you'll get personalized help that truly serves your business goals.

Do you charge transaction fees?

No! We don't charge any transaction fees on your sales. You only pay the standard Stripe processing fees (around 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction), which is industry standard. This means more of your revenue stays in your pocket.

Can I create both free and paid courses?

Absolutely! You can create unlimited free courses to build your audience and establish trust, plus unlimited paid courses to generate revenue. This flexibility allows you to create a complete funnel that nurtures your community from discovery to transformation.

How does the AI Course Assistant work?

Our AI Course Assistant helps you create course content, generate ideas, and even create AI images for your courses. It's designed to understand the unique needs of course creators, helping you articulate your knowledge in ways that resonate with your ideal students.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied. When you cancel your subscription, you'll retain full access for the remainder of your paid month. Your data and content will be safely stored for three months after cancellation, so if you decide to return, everything will be waiting for you exactly as you left it.

How do I learn to use CourseSpaces effectively?

We've created comprehensive tutorial videos and resources to help you get the most out of CourseSpaces. Our platform is designed to be intuitive, but we also provide detailed guides and best practices to ensure you can create courses that truly serve your students and grow your business.

Can I use my own domain name?

Right now every space gets a clean, fast CourseSpaces subdomain that you can brand as your own. Custom domains are on the roadmap and actively being built.
