Landing Platform vs Podia: courses joined to CRM and email
Podia sells courses, downloads and memberships from one simple storefront. Landing sells them too, then puts every buyer into a CRM with email flows, invoices and support, so a download today can become a client tomorrow.
Landing suits you if
- You sell digital products and services side by side
- You want quotes, invoices and support next to every buyer
- You want buyers in a real CRM, not just a list
Where simple starts to cost.
Podia is easy to start on. Growing means upgrading.
A fee on the first tier
The entry plan takes a 5% transaction fee on your sales, on top of card processing.
Caps that climb
Products, videos and email subscribers are capped per tier, so a bigger list means a bigger plan.
Buyers, not relationships
When a buyer wants a quote, an invoice or ongoing work, that happens in other tools with other logins.

Moving off Podia is our job.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
Agree what ready means
We go through your Podia storefront with you: products, courses, buyers and your email list, and write down what "ready" means.
We move Podia across
We move your data as part of the switch: courses, downloads, buyers and what they own, and your subscribers with their consent, while Podia keeps selling.
You check it, then you pay
You buy a product, open a lesson and receive the email flow. Billing starts only once it meets the criteria you signed off.
But we already use Podia.
Fair. Here are the questions creators ask us most.
Podia is simple. Is Landing harder to use?
You start with finished products, set up with you, not a blank canvas. We move your storefront across, and you check it works before billing starts.
Where does the money go when someone buys?
Through Landing Pay, Landing's own payments: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna, with the money paid straight to your bank in about two working days. UK cards are 2.0% + 20p with card processing included, and nothing else is added.
Can a buyer become a client?
Yes. Every buyer is a contact in the CRM. When they want more, send a quote for signature, invoice it and track the work as a project, without changing tools.
