Pros

“It perfectly matches the high standards my clients expect, as well as the level of quality and efficiency I expect when it comes to growing my business.”

Lucas B.

Founder

“It was well priced and allowed me to host my courses and trickle out content and give my community members a place to find all of the resources I provide and interact with me and the content.”

Rachel S.

Business Coach

“It's my third year using Podia and I'm super thrilled with how all online business needs are being met at once in one place.”

Maria E.

Owner

Pros

“I love the fact that my students are able to see all the content from their phone through the app.”

Maria H.

Designar

“Gurucan is new to market with several features in an single system like LMS with video hosting, CRM, and Marketing tools .”

Ashok K.

“I've been looking for the best LMS for my students for years.”

Maria H.

Designar

Cons

“For small scale business (like mine) with infrequent use, Podia is a bit more expensive than some other options.”

Jessica L.

Chiropractor and Speaker

“Many things don't work in the system and the customer support is always "I'm sorry, i know it's frustrating, we will pass to our developers, but can't say when and how the issues will be resolved".”

Mickey Z.

CEO

“Unfortunately I had to pay for a third party service to get my needs met, which is frustrating.”

Sonja E.

Coach, Consultant, Educator

Cons

“Sadly, any videos embedded via Vimeo, Youtube, Wistia etc won't be visible via the mobile app, necessitating either uploading videos to Gurucan's service (extremely poor, requiring multiple attempts at uploading), or transcribing your lesson to their text fields (acceptable.”

Theo P.

Founder

“Also the "trial" for courses (when you offer them part of the course for free) should be improved, the purpose of the trial is for them to get to know the content, but they can't see what's not included in the "paid course" so they won't be motivated to buy.”

Andres V.

Entrepreneur

“The software it's not fully mature (by the time I'm writing this review but they are working hard to become an amazing software), so far my biggest complain would be the loading speed it's not so great and the way you can design the landing pages or the appearance of the courses is kind of basic but functional.”

Adrian M.
