Switch over to Teachery and start making products and courses that match your brand seamlessly so you can stand out in the sea of endless online courses.
Lifetime (pay once!) price
For a limited time, pay $950 once for Teachery’s Lifetime Deal. Circle Professional costs $1,068 per year on annual billing, before transaction fees. Choose Teachery if you want to keep recurring platform costs out of your course business.
Make your courses feel like your brand
Bring your creativity into every course with custom colors, fonts, layouts, and graphics. Teachery gives you the freedom to create a learning experience that looks and feels like you.
No platform transaction fees
Circle Professional charges a 2% platform fee on payments. Teachery adds no platform transaction fees, so growing your sales won’t increase your Teachery bill. Standard payment processing fees still apply.
Room for every course you create
Teachery includes unlimited courses, customers, admins, and custom domains. Circle Professional includes unlimited members, 3 admins, and 20 spaces shared across courses and community areas.
"I've tried many different online course platforms and none of them felt as fun to use as Teachery. The ability to customize and personalize the look and feel of my courses has been incredible for my creativity!
The result? Thousands of happy students and over a million dollars in online course sales thanks to the magic of Teachery!"

Say Yes To Desire
"I knew Teachery was “The One” when I discovered how crazy extensive the customization options were.
As a designer, having full creative freedom and control over the visual aesthetic of my courses and digital products is a non-negotiable.
I’ve had so much fun creating beautiful Teachery themes for my own business, and for other course creators, and I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of Teachery’s potential!"

Circle is a strong choice when a community is the center of your business. It combines discussions, courses, native video hosting, live events, and mobile apps. Professional also includes quizzes, affiliate tools, and upsells.
Teachery is built for creators who want flexible course design, unlimited courses and customers, and predictable costs. Our Lifetime Deal is $950 once, compared with $3,204 for three years of Circle Professional at its current annual rate. That comparison excludes payment processing, Circle’s 2% platform fee, taxes, and optional add-ons.
Choose the platform that fits how you teach. If native live events and a community app are essential, explore Circle. If you want your courses to feel like your brand and prefer to pay once, try Teachery.
