For people who teach what they know
Not 10%. Not 5%. Not 1%. Your students pay you directly, into your own payment account — the money never passes through us, so there is nothing for us to take a share of. Hosting is free, with no card and no trial clock.
A student buys your course for $200. This is the part the platform keeps.
Your card processor charges its own fee on every platform, this one included — that goes to the processor. Platform shares as published on 26 September 2026; the full comparison is further down.
You pay for what you add, not a share of what you sell. See the prices.
Tell it what you teach. It drafts the course, the lessons and the page that sells it, and you edit anything.
Students pay you directly. The money never passes through us, so there is nothing for us to take a share of.
Send your course for review. Once it’s approved it’s listed on academy.stapilo.com, where learners browse and ask an AI advisor what to take. Buying still happens on your page.
What each platform’s public pricing page said on 26 September 2026. Card fees from your payment provider apply everywhere, including here — they go to the provider, not to us.

Real courses and webinars from businesses on Stapilo, approved by us. Yours can be here too.
Anyone in your list — someone who signed up, bought or registered. Free covers up to 2,000 of them. Past that you’re told, with the price of the next step — and a student signing up is never turned away because of your plan.
Nothing is deleted and nothing stops playing. New uploads wait until you make room or add storage, and you’re told the price of the next step before you decide.
No. The Academy sends learners to your own page and they pay you there. We never see the money, so there’s nothing to take.
No. It doesn’t expire and it doesn’t ask for a card. You pay only if you add something — more students, more storage, more webinars, or tools you don’t get free.
Yes, one automated webinar. It plays on a schedule, collects registrations and follows up. More webinars are a paid step.
A cover, a clear description, and a course people actually take. We read each one before it’s listed, and a course that many people are already taking can be listed for you.
