Susy, Course Creator 360 is just a whitelabeled version of GoHighLevel. So it depends on your needs. If you want to make your own whitelabeled version of GHL level to sell as a system like Course Creator 360 did, you would have to get the highest plan of GHL. If you are just using it as your marketing system then, if you like Course Creator 360's rebranded version + their training/marketing, go with them. But in either case it would be using GHL. Hope that makes sense.

Great comparison. I am thinking about Kajabi myself. Curious about the product limitations. I do a lot of coaching and then have digital downloads for sale. I was concerned about their products so you're saying I could sell my digital downloads without it counting against a product? Also would this still work with services such as editing essays... where just purchasing the service or would this be considered a product?

@DanieJay 3 ай бұрын

Exactly! Digital downloads don't count as products. There isn't a limit on how many offers/checkout pages you have...so selling a service with a checkout page would also not count as a product! This has been a huge win for me, because I have alot of check out pages and offers. I hope that helps!

You missed a big part of uscreen's pricing. They charge $1.49/user per month in addition to the plan fee!!! (The user charge is listed directly under the plan fee.) If you do the math, the user charges wind up being WAY more than the plan fee, which is already steep. Any other biases we should know about?

Great walk-through. Thwo things though: 1) LearnWorlds support is terrible. Absolutely terrible. They didn't fix some fatal errors for like six months so I had to change. It LOOKS good. But the technical backend is the worst. 2) Please also consider good CMS which is much more than email marketing. Does the system have an in-build support function? Is it easy to upgrade or downgrade members etc. This can be crucial.

Three downsides though: Very little/slow development, poor support and not a very good CMS. Simplero - this is a very overlooked swizz army knife. The learning curve is steep - but you can do soooooooooooo(!) much more than on any other platform. And with some skills you can even make it look good.
