Almost every list like this one ranks by feature count, which is how you end up recommending a ₹99,999-a-year platform to somebody selling their first ₹499 course.

The variable that decides this is what the platform takes of a sale, and how that interacts with how much you sell. A 10% commission is cheap at ₹5,000 a month and ruinous at ₹5,00,000. A ₹99,999 annual fee is the reverse.

So the list below is ordered by who each platform is for, and every price on it was read off the vendor's own pricing page between 21 and 29 September 2026.

How this list was put together 🔬

  • Pricing was read from each platform's own pricing page, not from a comparison site, between 21 and 29 September 2026. Every figure links back to its source.
  • Platforms are ordered by the situation they fit, not by which one we would like you to choose. We are not first in our own list.
  • Cost means subscription plus platform commission. Payment gateway charges are excluded throughout, because they depend on the merchant account rather than the platform.
  • Feature claims are limited to what each vendor publishes. Nothing here is copied from a competitor's own comparison page.

The list 🏆

Graphy

Structured courses with quizzes and certificates

The most complete classroom in the Indian market — modules, drip, assessments, certificates and a learner app. It charges twice: ₹24,999 a year and 10% per sale on Launch, up to ₹99,999 a year and 5% on Rise. Worth it when the certificate is part of what people are buying.

TagMango

Live cohorts and paid communities

Batches, attendance, renewals and paid WhatsApp or Telegram groups, done properly. 10% on the free plan, 5.5% at ₹5,000 a month, 3.5% at ₹15,000, and 0% only on the ₹30,000-a-month Ultimate plan.

Exly

Coaches who sell time alongside courses

The best booking and scheduling product on this list, with courses attached rather than the other way round. Plans at 10%, 6% and 3% — the commission never reaches zero at any price Exly publishes.

Teachable

Selling the same course in dollars

Zero transaction fee from $89 a month — about ₹8,500 — and it handles US sales tax and EU VAT. The subscription is the whole cost, which is excellent economics if your students pay in dollars and poor ones if they do not.

Kajabi

A course business that is really a marketing business

Email, funnels, communities and analytics in one system, from $179 a month — around ₹17,200. Nobody on this list matches it for completeness, and nobody charges as much to start.

Gumroad

A first course, before you know anyone will buy

Nothing up front, 10% + $0.50 of each sale from your own link. The right way to find out whether the idea works, and the wrong way to run it once it does.

Pullsy Store

The audience before the course, not the course

Pullsy Store cannot sell a course today: its storefronts take no payments yet and courses are not available. What it does now is free — a link-in-bio page with free downloads and email sign-ups to build the list a launch needs, and Instagram auto-DM on the ₹1,299-a-month Store plan. Listed last for that reason. Paid checkout is planned at 0% of a sale, with no date yet.

Worth asking before you move 🤔

Which platform is cheapest for selling courses in India?

Below about ₹13,000 of monthly sales, a free commission-based plan — TagMango's, Exly's or Gumroad's. Above it, a flat subscription with no commission costs less, and the gap grows with every sale you make.

Do I need a GST number to sell a course in India?

Usually not at first. Service providers under ₹20 lakh of annual turnover are generally exempt from GST registration in India, so a PAN and a bank account are enough to start. Worth confirming with a CA as you approach the threshold.

Can I sell a course without a registered company?

Yes. You can sell as an individual on every platform on this list. Verification typically asks for a PAN, an Aadhaar and a bank account in your own name — the same things any payment account needs.

Your audience, one link away.
