SchoolMaker
Create, sell, and host online courses with community and coaching built in.
SchoolMaker is an online course platform for creating, selling and hosting courses, with tools for structuring lessons into steps and milestones, running a community alongside the content, and supporting coaching and live sessions. It aims to help course creators guide students through a progression rather than passive video watching, and to keep them engaged with quizzes, community posts and milestone tracking.
Core features include step-by-step courses with checkboxes, text answers, file uploads, URL submissions and quizzes; milestones that mark major achievements; a built-in community with spaces, posts, polls and reactions; coaching tools covering consultations and live sessions; AI coaches powered by OpenAI or OpenRouter; quiz builders; and auto testimonial collection. Integrations include Zapier, Make, Stripe, ThriveCart, Wistia, YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Google Meet and custom code, plus API and webhook access on higher plans.
SchoolMaker is aimed at course creators, coaches and experts selling training programs. It is packaged in four plans — Lite, Starter, Pro and Business — with limits on members, courses and team accounts varying by tier, plus a custom plan option. Monthly and annual billing are available, and a 14-day free trial is offered.
