Ruzuku

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.

The free plan costs nothing, needs no card and does not expire, which makes it a genuine starting point rather than a demonstration. Core is $99 a month, or $997 a year saving $191, and carries unlimited courses and unlimited students. A higher tier adds white-label branding, multiple instructors, certificates, a storefront and digital products. No transaction fee applies at any level, which the page leads with in its own title, so the subscription is the entire cost of the platform.

A first-time course creator who wants to build the thing before paying for the privilege, and who values a fixed subscription over a revenue share. The free plan makes the trial period as long as you need it to be. Somebody who needs marketing automation, affiliate tooling or a community around the course will find this is a teaching tool and stops there.
