What the table means

Lowest monthly cost of the three

$29/month

Kajabi is $149. Teachable is $59 and takes 5% of every sale on that plan. Our fee falls to 2% on Scale.

Marking stops capping your class

AI marks the writing

Long answers marked against your own rubric, every grade yours to change. Neither of the others does this at any price.

Your courses are never trapped here

Import and export

Bring a course in from Common Cartridge or Moodle, and take any course out to Common Cartridge or SCORM whenever you want it.

Questions

Yoshuko starts at $29/month on Starter — below Kajabi's $149 and Teachable's $59.

Yes, and the rate falls as you grow: 5% on Starter ($29/month), 3% on Pro ($79/month), 2% on Scale ($199/month). Kajabi charges none, on a much higher monthly price; Teachable charges 5% on its entry plan. Stripe's own processing fee is charged separately by Stripe.

Four things, and all of them are the AI doing work you would otherwise do by hand: marking written work against your own rubric, drafting the rubric itself, checking for AI-written and copied work, and reading answers written by hand from a photograph.

There are no phone apps from the app stores — the learner app runs in a browser — and no community spaces beyond a discussion board on each course. If either decides it for you, Kajabi and Teachable both have them.

Both ways. Yoshuko imports Common Cartridge and Moodle archives, and exports any course to Common Cartridge 1.3 or SCORM 1.2 whenever you want it elsewhere. Email support@yoshuko.com if you would like a hand with the first one.
