Podia alternative

A Podia alternative with no monthly fee.

Podia starts at $42 a month, whether you sell that month or not. We keep nothing until something sells, then 7.5%. Card processing comes on top of both. Here's how they compare, including where Podia wins.

Podia lists its prices in US dollars and we list ours in euros.

The break-even

Podia starts to cost less around €1,050 a month.

Below that, Podia's monthly fee costs you more than our 7.5% does. In a month with no sales you still pay it. Here, that month costs nothing.

Past that point Podia Shaker costs you less than our 7.5%. If you're there every month, stay where you are.

Worked out on €25 sales, with dollar prices in euros at the ECB rate of 28 September 2026. How the example works

A €200 month: 8 sales of €25

Mover plan, a month€36.91
Podia's fee€10.00

AOVANCY€22.32

An example, not a quote. Card fees at the rate each company publishes, and 2.9% + $0.30 for us and anyone who doesn't publish one.

The honest part

Where Podia is the better pick.

I'd rather you pick the right one than switch and regret it.

Stay on Podia if

You sell more than about €1,050 a month, every month. Past that, Shaker's flat fee costs less than our 7.5%.
You email your list from the same place you sell. Podia has email built in. We don't.
You run a community or events next to your products. We don't have either.
You want more than 3 products up at once. Our free plan holds 3 for now.

Put the course up. We run the checkout.

A course here is lessons grouped into modules, and each lesson can be a video, text, audio, a file or a link. Ebooks, templates and other downloads go up the same way. For now everything sells for a one-time price.

It all lives on your storefront at yourname.aovancy.com. Buyers can pay by card, or in crypto if you turn it on. Every order is sold by AOVANCY SRL: we take the payment, deliver the file and handle refunds, then pay you 92.5% of the price.* There's no Stripe or PayPal account for you to set up, and every sale email shows the buyer's email address.

Questions

Before you switch.

Usually the monthly fee. Podia starts at $42 a month whether you sell or not. We keep nothing until something sells, then 7.5% of the sale, and card processing comes on top of both. If you sell more than about €1,050 a month, every month, Podia costs less, so stay.

No. The free plan has no monthly fee and holds up to 3 products. When something sells we keep 7.5%, worked out after card processing comes off, and pay you the rest.

Yes. A course here is lessons in modules: video, text, audio, files or links. You'd give up Podia's email marketing, community and events, which we don't have. And for now courses sell for a one-time price, not a subscription.

No. Every sale email tells you who bought, so the list is yours to keep in whatever tool you already send from. Podia has email built in, for 100 to 1,000 subscribers depending on the plan.

Yes, by hand. Download your files and videos from Podia, upload them here and set your prices. There's no import tool yet, and your buyers don't move over with the products, so keep Podia open until they've got what they paid for. How moving works
