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.
Ruzuku
Course hosting that takes nothing per sale
Ruzuku sells course hosting with no transaction fee and a free plan that is not time limited, which between them make it a reasonable place to find out whether anybody wants the course before paying for the privilege. Lessons can be dripped, students can be graded and the whole thing runs on Ruzuku's own domain. It will not build you a funnel. Anybody who needs one is in the wrong category.
Our note
The step from free to $99 is steep with nothing between, so plan to launch on the free tier and move once a course is actually selling. Against Teachery at $49 this is twice the price for unlimited students and drip scheduling, which only matters once enrolment is real.

Systeme.io
Funnels, email and courses on one free plan
Systeme.io bundles funnels, an email list, a course platform and an affiliate program into one account, and the free plan carries 2,000 contacts with no transaction fee. That combination costs several hundred a month elsewhere. Every individual piece is plainer than the tool that specialises in it, and the page editor is the weakest of them.
