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.
Our note
The free plan is the reason to try it and the page builder is the reason people leave. If you are choosing between this and paying separately for Kit, Teachable and Carrd, run the launch here first and move the piece that annoys you most later.

Host and sell courses, with payments included
Teachable handles hosting, checkout, drip content and student progress, and it has done so for long enough to be predictable. Coaching sessions and digital downloads sell from the same account. The cheapest plan charges a percentage of every sale on top of its monthly fee, which is the one number to check before committing.
Our note
Do not stay on Starter out of thrift. The 7.5 percent overtakes the price difference quickly, and Teachable is one of the few platforms where the second cheapest plan is genuinely the cheapest.
