How much does Podia cost?

Podia publishes 3 tiers, from $42/month for Mover up to $150/month for Earthquaker. The cheapest paid tier is $42/month.

Does Podia have a free plan?

Not on the record we hold: Podia is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

What is the difference between Mover and Shaker on Podia?

Shaker costs $84/month against $42/month, and adds up to 500 email subscribers, no podia fees, 150 products, 1,000 videos.

Is the Earthquaker plan on Podia worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is up to 1,000 email subscribers, unlimited products, unlimited videos, unlimited spaces. It costs $150/month against $42/month for Mover. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

Which lms tools can I use without paying?

3 of the 8 lms tools listed alongside Podia have a free tier: Weet, Claroline, Chamilo.

Does Podia charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Podia prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Podia against before paying?

The closest lms tools in this directory are Weet, Claroline, Whatfix, Skilljar. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Podia covering price, platforms and features.

Podia pricing

Podia publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 30 August 2026, Podia pricing is $42/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: $42/month
Model: Subscription
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Not on record

Podia plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Podia pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Mover	$42/month	5	Entry tier
Shaker	$84/month	6	+$42/month, 6 more features
Earthquaker	$150/month	6	+$66/month, 5 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Podia in for content creators selling digital courses with email marketing integration, coaching businesses managing memberships and community spaces, newsletter publishers monetising subscriber base with events and digital products. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Podia are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in LMS

Too few lms tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Podia entry price against other LMS tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Podia (this page)	$42/month	subscription	-
Weet	Free, then $24/month	Per creator per month	-	vs Podia
Claroline	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Podia
Whatfix	On request	quote	-	vs Podia
Skilljar	On request	quote	-	vs Podia
Chamilo	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Podia
Sana	On request	quote	-	vs Podia

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Podia badges page.

Before you pay for Podia

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $42/month and $150/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Podia against the tools that do have one before committing.

Podia runs on web, and is published by Podia Labs Inc of New York, New York. The full record is on the Podia review, and the rest of the category is under best lms tools.
