Both cover courses & coaching. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

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.
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
Teachery charges the same whether you sell one course or forty, and takes nothing per sale, which is the opposite arrangement to most of this category. It is deliberately small: course pages, a checkout and email hooks, without a community, a funnel builder or an app. Two people have run it for over a decade. That is either the reassurance or the warning, depending on what you need from a vendor.

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.
