Ruzuku vs Teachery Comparison 2026
Ruzuku's free plan costs nothing and never expires, then Core is $99 a month for unlimited courses and students with drip scheduling and grading, no fee ever. Teachery has no free plan, only a 14-day trial, but its one plan is $49 a month, or $470 a year, for unlimited courses too, also with no transaction fee. Ruzuku's own listing puts it plainly: against Teachery this is twice the price for unlimited students and drip scheduling, which only matters once enrolment is real.

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.

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.
Why people weigh these two
- Teachery instead of Ruzuku
- Teachery charges one flat price for unlimited courses at $49, the same no-cut-per-sale idea.
- Ruzuku instead of Teachery
- Ruzuku shares the no-cut-per-sale idea, but adds a free tier to try before paying, from $99 once you outgrow it.
Which one should you pick
Choose Ruzuku if you want to test a course for free before paying anything, or if drip scheduling and grading matter once students actually enrol: the free plan has no card and no expiry, and Core at $99 a month adds unlimited courses and students with no fee at any tier. Its own listing is honest that this costs twice what Teachery does, and that the difference only earns its keep once enrolment is real rather than hypothetical.
Choose Teachery if you already have several courses and have been paying a platform that charges per course or takes a cut of each sale: one flat plan, $49 a month or $470 a year, covers unlimited courses with no fee, and the argument gets stronger the more you publish. It is deliberately small: no community, no funnel builder, no app, just course pages, a checkout and email hooks to the mailing tool you already use. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial, and no drip scheduling or grading described in its listing.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper, Ruzuku or Teachery?
- Teachery, at half the price: $49 a month, or $470 a year, against Ruzuku's Core at $99. Ruzuku's own listing frames the gap honestly, twice the price for unlimited students and drip scheduling, which Teachery's listing does not describe having.
- Does Teachery have a free plan like Ruzuku does?
- No, Teachery offers only a 14-day trial before its $49-a-month plan applies. Ruzuku's free plan costs nothing, needs no card and never expires, a genuine starting point rather than a trial with a clock.
- Does Teachery support drip scheduling or grading, the way Ruzuku does?
- Its listing does not describe either feature; Teachery is deliberately minimal, built around course pages, a checkout and email hooks rather than teaching mechanics. Ruzuku includes drip scheduling and grading as part of what makes it a teaching tool rather than just a storefront.
- Does either charge a transaction fee on course sales?
- Neither does, at any tier. Ruzuku takes nothing per sale on the free plan or Core, and Teachery takes nothing per sale either, which its own listing says makes the flat $470-a-year price cheaper than any 5 percent arrangement once a single course sells $10,000.
