LearnDash
Turn a WordPress site into a course platform
LearnDash is the answer for somebody who already has a WordPress site and does not want their course living on somebody else's domain. Lessons, quizzes, drip schedules and certificates all become part of the site you own, and the payment plugin is your choice rather than theirs. Hosting, backups and the security of that site stay your problem. That is the whole trade against a hosted platform.
Our note
Add hosting and a payment plugin to the licence before comparing this against a hosted platform, because $259 is the floor rather than the total. The reason to choose it is ownership: the course sits on your domain, feeds your own SEO, and does not disappear if a vendor changes its plans.

Teachery
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.
