If you're an individual creator, use Teachable or Podia. Build custom when you're a multi-instructor marketplace, need white-labeling for B2B clients, have complex certification requirements, or want to avoid 5% platform fees at scale.
Mux charges $0.08/minute for video encoding and $0.006/min for delivery. For a library of 200 hours of content with 1,000 students, this is ~$1,500/month. Price subscriptions to cover this.
Average online course completion rates are 3–15%. Gamification (streaks, progress bars, cohort-based deadlines) dramatically improve completion. Build these into v1 — not v3.
Rough estimates per feature. Our fixed-price MVP bundles all of these — see the full Education / EdTech App cost guide.
| Feature | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Course creation and management | $500 – $2,500 |
| Video integration (Mux) | $500 – $2,500 |
| Student progress tracking | $400 – $2,000 |
| Quizzes and assessments | $400 – $2,000 |
| Certificate generation | $300 – $1,500 |
| Stripe subscriptions | $400 – $2,000 |
| Instructor dashboard | $300 – $1,500 |
| Total estimate | $2,800 – $14,000 |
We ship production-ready education / edtech app MVPs in 2–5 weeks at a fixed price. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
A basic course platform (courses, video, quizzes, Stripe) costs $10,000–$25,000. A full multi-instructor marketplace with certificates, cohort features, and affiliate tracking costs $40,000–$80,000.
Use Teachable under $100K ARR — the 5% fee is cheaper than custom development. Build custom above $200K ARR, or if you need white-label, multi-tenant, or complex certification workflows.
