Running the business
Heights Platform runs courses, community and short challenges on tiered pricing, $19 to $99 a month, with a 30-day trial. Teachery does one thing at one flat price, $49 a month or $470 a year, unlimited courses, no transaction fee ever, and deliberately nothing else: no community, no funnel builder, no app. Pick Heights Platform for community and challenges alongside the course. Pick Teachery if you already have several courses and just want a flat page to sell them from.

Courses, community and short challenges
Heights Platform puts a course, a community and a set of challenges behind one login, and prices the entry tier low enough that a first course does not need a launch to justify it. Challenges are the part worth noticing: a short repeated commitment converts an audience better than a long curriculum most people never finish. An assistant will draft course structure from a description. The cheapest plan is built around that challenge format rather than around a full course.
Our note
The challenge format is the reason to pick this over a general course platform, because a seven day commitment converts an audience that will never finish a twelve module course. Start on the $19 tier deliberately rather than as a saving, since it is the tier that matches a first experiment.

Unlimited courses on one flat price
Pick Heights Platform if community and a short challenge format matter alongside the course itself. The $19-a-month tier suits a first experiment, and $39 a month covers a full course and community together, with a drafting assistant and a 30-day trial on every tier.
Pick Teachery if you have, or plan to have, several courses and want the price to stay fixed regardless of how many. One plan is $49 a month, or $470 a year, with unlimited courses and no fee taken from a sale ever, which its own numbers say beats a 5 percent platform the moment one course sells $10,000. It has deliberately built no community, no funnel builder and no app, so bring your own email platform if you need one.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
Compare this against what a percentage-based platform takes from you now: at $470 a year, one course selling $10,000 makes the flat fee cheaper than any five percent arrangement. What you give up is everything around the course, so buy it knowing you will bring your own email platform and community.
