Platforms for hosting online courses: alternatives and honest comparisons
Comparisons of various platforms for hosting online courses
with the Kwiga platform
Torn between several platforms? We know all the strengths and weaknesses of other platforms, and we can confidently say that Kwiga is the best solution.
Below you can find a detailed comparison of Kwiga with other platforms and services.
LMS
Getcourse
Wide functionality and great opportunities are not always possible to combine with an intuitive interface. Working on the Getcourse platform means you need a technical specialist whose services cost more than the service itself.
Edvibe (ex-ProgressMe)
Edvibe is only suitable for those launching language courses. At the same time, the platform lacks additional products: bootcamps, the ability to conduct one-on-one lessons or group classes, which are necessary to launch a language school.
Westudy
Kwiga and Westudy are both online course creation and selling platforms that also have rich customer base capabilities. The major differences between the two are in the LMS products and learning customization options.
Softbook
Softbook only offers courses for content creators, while Kwiga has the opportunity to work with other educational products: bootcamps, communities, consultations and webinars.
Ispring
iSpring focuses primarily on employee training, which means sales are unavailable. Another limitation is that online courses can only be created on the most expensive plan.
Antitrainings
Antitrainings offers fairly simple solutions for small experts and schools running online courses, but its cheaper plans come with a huge number of restrictions.
Zenedu
Learning takes place in Telegram rather than on a separate platform, which prevents students from fully immersing themselves in learning and deprives them of extensive features such as tests, polls, and convenient communication between the assistant and the student.
Sendpulse
While Sendpulse's mailing list products are well known, their Online Course Creator product is still in a very early stage of development and lacks a lot of features.
WizzyLab
It is primarily a website builder where you can sell your courses and materials, among other things. The operation of a full-fledged online school on WizzyLab will be inconvenient.
Gurucan
Both platforms offer extensive functionality for hosting online courses and running educational bootcamps. The platforms differ in pricing: Kwiga's is flexible and tailored to each user.
Kajabi
The platform offers wide functionality for promoting courses, but falls behind many other platforms when it comes to running the learning process: no homework, no convenient feedback, and no way to bring in assistants.
Learnworlds
A popular solution for large schools, with many options not only for creating but also for promoting courses. Compared with Kwiga, it differs in cost, especially for large schools, has a more complex interface, and offers no localized interface versions.
Teachable
The platforms offer a wide range of functionality both for creating courses and for promoting them. The main differences are monthly price, quality of support and customization options.
