Coachy
Coachy is an online-course platform from Germany that focuses on doing the core job well: host your video course, protect it behind a members area, add quizzes and certificates, and connect a payment processor - most naturally Digistore24, which dominates the German-speaking market. It is simpler and cheaper than Kajabi, and its European roots mean GDPR compliance is treated as a feature rather than an afterthought. The honest knock is that the ecosystem is German-first: documentation, community discussions, and many tutorials skew German even though the interface is available in English, and the template and integration ecosystem is thinner than Kajabi's or Teachable's. Buy it if you want a lean, affordable course home and can live with a smaller ecosystem. Skip it if you need heavy marketing automation or an English-first community around your tooling.
Why we rate it
- Straightforward course builder with members areas, quizzes, and certificates
- Meaningfully cheaper than Kajabi for the core course-hosting job
- European hosting and a GDPR-conscious design, a real plus for EU audiences
Keep in mind
- German-first ecosystem: docs, community, and tutorials skew German despite the English UI
