Every European online course platform reviewed
Limassol / Athens, Greece
Founded 2014
From about $29/month / higher tiers remove transaction fees
Demo on request
Best for: Creators and training businesses selling their own courses
LearnWorlds is the platform in this list that treats the video as the main teaching surface. Questions, links and downloads sit directly on the timeline, so a learner answers while watching, and the completion data shows the exact point where viewers leave.
Around that sits a full commercial layer: a site builder, funnels, memberships and subscriptions, affiliate management, certificates, SCORM and white-label mobile apps on the higher tiers. Pricing starts from about $29 a month, and the higher tiers remove the transaction fees that the lower ones charge.
The contracting company is LearnWorlds Ltd, working from Limassol and Athens, and the site lists the product as founded in 2014 with EU hosting and GDPR handling. Setup takes real effort, the lower tiers carry transaction fees, and it brings no audience of its own, so every student is one you recruited.
What LearnWorlds does well
- Genuinely interactive video with in-timeline questions
- Site builder, funnels and memberships included
- You own the brand and the customer list
- White-label mobile apps on higher tiers
- EU hosting and GDPR handling
Where LearnWorlds falls short
- Takes real time to set up well
- Transaction fees on lower tiers
- Brings no audience of its own
Standout feature. It places quiz questions and links inside the video timeline itself, which no other platform here describes.
Ludwigsburg, Germany
Starter EUR 49/month, Grow EUR 119, Scale EUR 249, Enterprise from EUR 500 (monthly billing, net of VAT; about 20 percent lower when billed yearly); 14-day trial without a card
Demo on request
Best for: German-speaking coaches and training businesses that want a course area with their own branding and no per-sale fee
Memberspot is a member-area builder for coaches and training companies that want their lessons, exams and community under their own name.
Four plans run from EUR 49 to EUR 500 a month, and all four list a 0% transaction fee, so a sale costs only the payment provider's cut. Starter holds 1 course, 100 members and 1 admin; Grow at EUR 119 raises that to 2,500 members and adds a custom domain, DRM protection and a web app; Scale and Enterprise add AI search, an AI assistant, single sign-on and SCORM.
Memberspot GmbH is registered at Amtsgericht Stuttgart and based in Ludwigsburg, and the vendor states EU hosting without naming the provider. The product is German-first, which thins the experience for English-speaking sellers, and it is not the merchant of record, so VAT and invoicing stay with you. Which tier includes the own-brand apps is not spelled out on the pricing page, so ask before choosing Starter.
What Memberspot does well
- 0% transaction fee on all plans
- EU hosting stated by the vendor
- Exams, quizzes and certificates from the first plan
- Community module and own-brand apps
- 14-day trial without a card
Where Memberspot falls short
- Starter limited to 1 course and 100 members
- German-first site and support
- Hosting provider not named
- Not a merchant of record, VAT stays with you
Standout feature. It is the only platform here that lists a 0% transaction fee on every plan, cheapest included.
Dublin, Ireland
Free $0/month; Startup $17/month; Webinar $47/month; Unlimited $97/month (prices in USD as published by the vendor)
Demo on request
Best for: Solo sellers and small businesses who want courses, funnels, email and a blog in one account, starting at no cost
Systeme.io starts from a page and funnel builder and wraps the rest of an online business around it: email automation, a course and membership area, a blog and an affiliate programme.
The Free plan costs $0, needs no card and still holds 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 course, 1 blog and a custom domain. Startup at $17 a month lifts it to 5,000 contacts and unlimited funnels, Webinar at $47 adds evergreen webinars, and Unlimited at $97 removes the contact cap and adds sub-accounts and a free migration service.
The entity behind it is ITACWT Limited, registered in Dublin, and the privacy policy states customer data is hosted on AWS servers in Ireland and is not transferred outside the European Union. Prices are published in US dollars, the vendor pages do not state a founding year, and a bundled builder is less specialised than a dedicated tool such as Landingi. AWS is American-owned even when the region is Irish, which some procurement policies treat as a distinction.
What Systeme.io does well
- Permanent free plan with 3 funnels, a course and a custom domain
- Unlimited funnels from $17 a month
- 0% transaction fees on every paid plan
- Irish entity with data on AWS Ireland
- Email, courses, blog and affiliate programme in one subscription
Where Systeme.io falls short
- Prices published in USD, not euros
- No founding year or detailed template counts stated
- Page builder less specialised than a dedicated tool such as Landingi
- Hosted on AWS, a US provider, albeit in Ireland
Standout feature. A free account includes funnels, a course, a blog and a custom domain, which most rivals reserve for paid tiers.
Paris, France
Free (3 courses, 70 learners, 9% commission); Pro EUR 49/month incl. VAT (EUR 490/year); Expert EUR 99/month incl. VAT (EUR 990/year)
Demo on request
Best for: French-speaking trainers and training organisations that need Qualiopi-compatible course delivery with published prices
Teachizy is built for French-speaking trainers who want to publish courses, sell them through branded pages and deliver them in a learner area. The free Découverte plan holds 3 courses and 70 learners with a 9% commission. Pro at EUR 49 a month including VAT removes the limits on learners, courses and sales and adds Stripe instalments, affiliation and abandoned-cart reminders. Expert at EUR 99 adds pack sales, three team members, learner two-factor authentication, forums and a beta SCORM import.
The legal notice names MAJ DIGITAL, a SAS in Paris at 19 Avenue d'Italie, and the vendor states servers in France. Qualiopi and CPF compatibility are the differentiators for anyone selling funded training in France. The cost side: a French-first interface, English only on the Expert plan, SCORM restricted to versions 1.2 and 2004, and no email marketing or webinar tool on the pricing page.
What Teachizy does well
- Servers in France stated by the vendor
- Free plan to test
- Unlimited learners on a single EUR 49 plan
- Qualiopi compatibility
- No commitment on monthly plans
Where Teachizy falls short
- French-first interface
- 9% commission on the free plan
- SCORM still in beta
- No built-in email marketing listed
Standout feature. Qualiopi and CPF compatibility make it the platform for French funded training, which no other tool here targets.
Montpellier, France
Free EUR 0; Launch EUR 39 excl. VAT/month (EUR 390/year); Boost EUR 89 excl. VAT/month (EUR 890/year); higher tiers on the vendor site
Demo on request
Best for: French-speaking course sellers who want courses, funnels and email in one account
LearnyBox puts a course player, a funnel builder, a CRM, email sequences, live and automated webinars, communities and a website and blog tool in one account. The Free plan allows 1 course for 20 learners, a 10-page funnel, 2,000 CRM contacts and 4,000 emails a month. Launch at EUR 39 excluding VAT adds 10 courses, 100 learners, 10 GB of storage, SCORM and a mobile app, and Boost at EUR 89 removes the course and learner caps.
SAS LearnyBox is based at 1025 Rue Henri Becquerel in Montpellier, and support is described as based in France. The legal notice names Amazon Web Services, Inc. as the host of the site, and the server region for customer data is not stated on the pages we read, so ask for the data processing details. Each module is shallower than a specialist tool, and the interface is French first with an English option.
What LearnyBox does well
- Permanent free plan
- Courses, funnels, email and webinars in one account
- Published prices from EUR 39
- SCORM and cohorts on paid plans
- Support based in France
Where LearnyBox falls short
- 100 learners on Launch
- Server region not stated
- French-first interface
- Bundle is broad rather than deep
Standout feature. It lists GoCardless direct debit and its own Learnypay beside Stripe and PayPal, a wider payment spread than any other tool here.
Sofia, Bulgaria
Premium EUR 42/month (EUR 35/month billed yearly); Deluxe EUR 78/month (EUR 65/month billed yearly); 30-day free trial, no card
Demo on request
Best for: German-speaking coaches who sell through Digistore24 and want a simple member area
Coachy supplies the protected member area for a course: lessons with video, audio and downloads, two-factor protection, expiring download links and sequential release. Both plans list unlimited members and storage. Premium at EUR 42 a month (EUR 35 on yearly billing) includes a branded area, a coachy.net address, an own-brand app and an AI outline generator; Deluxe at EUR 78 adds 5 staff accesses, 50 automations, a landing page builder and tests and certificates.
Coachy OOD is the contracting company, based in Sofia, and the vendor says data is stored in the EU, with a 30-day trial that needs no card. Selling is handled outside the product: the plans and training content point to Digistore24 and Quentn, so there is no checkout of its own. Premium caps the number of products, though the pricing wording is ambiguous, and the tutorials lean toward the German market.
What Coachy does well
- 30-day trial without a card
- Unlimited members and storage
- Own-brand app on both plans
- Yearly billing about 2 months free
- EU hosting stated
Where Coachy falls short
- Product limits on Premium
- Built around Digistore24
- No email or webinar tool
- German-market focus
Standout feature. Its Deluxe plan wires upsells and downsells directly to Digistore24 products, which suits affiliate-driven German sellers.
Graz, Austria
No public prices; demo call required
Demo on request
Best for: Coaches, agencies and companies that want a branded learning academy with white-glove onboarding
LearningSuite sells a branded academy rather than a self-service course tool. The feature menu lists a drag-and-drop editor, assignment submission, extensive exams, dashboards, video hosting and recording, a mobile app and a community, with a newer AI companion layer called LearningSuite Intelligence. There is no public price and no self-service trial: you book a demo call, and the vendor offers a migration service and VIP support.
LearningSuite FlexCo is at Alte Poststraße 156 in Graz and appears in the Austrian Firmenbuch as FN 556105 b. The homepage says servers are in Frankfurt and the platform is GDPR compliant. The platform is offered in German, English and Polish, and the pages we read do not describe checkout features, so you may need an external payment tool for selling.
What LearningSuite does well
- Frankfurt servers stated by the vendor
- Own mobile app and community
- Migration service offered
- Individual dashboards and exams
- Austrian entity with Firmenbuch number
Where LearningSuite falls short
- No public prices
- Demo call before any trial
- Three interface languages
- Checkout features not described
Standout feature. It is sold through a demo call with a migration service and VIP support, a hands-on model no other tool here offers.
Delft, Netherlands
Basic EUR 70/month (EUR 700/year), Advanced EUR 200/month (EUR 2,000/year); USD prices also shown; free trial without a card
Demo on request
Best for: Trainers and companies that train many participants and want a flat fee instead of per-learner pricing
Easy LMS is aimed at running training and exams, not at running a storefront. The pricing page promises a flat fee that does not change with the number of customers, locations or organisations you train, and both plans list unlimited participants.
Basic at EUR 70 a month covers 3,000 exams or courses started a month and 500 simultaneous participants; Advanced at EUR 200 raises those to 10,000 and 1,000 and adds custom certificates, your own URL, webhooks, an API, detailed reports and SCORM upload.
The company is Easy LMS B.V. at Oude Delft 48 in Delft, and its privacy policy says no personal data is transferred outside the EEA, with data sent to processors outside it anonymised and model contract clauses in place. There is a free trial without a card. Both plans have one admin seat, no checkout or funnels are listed, and the entry price is well above creator tools such as Teachizy or Coachy.
What Easy LMS does well
- Flat fee, unlimited participants
- No personal data transferred outside the EEA (privacy policy)
- Published prices in EUR
- SCORM, API and webhooks on Advanced
- Free trial without a card
Where Easy LMS falls short
- No storefront or funnels listed
- 1 admin seat on both plans
- Higher entry price than creator tools
- Hosting region not named
Standout feature. Its fee stays flat however many participants you train, so cost depends on capacity and not on head count.
Rottweil, Germany
No public prices on the pages we read; see vendor website
Demo on request
Best for: Education and consulting companies that want a managed platform with setup help and German hosting
Spreadmind sells three editions and a service wrapper around them: EXPERT-Suite for selling digital training to individuals, EXPERT-Suite PLUS for business customers and ENTERPRISE-Suite for employee training. Onboarding, a managed service, a back-office service and help with ZFU approval of distance-learning courses in Germany come with the platform. The vendor pitches it to organisations without capacity for server administration, cybersecurity or GDPR work and says it handles updates, backups and monitoring.
Spreadmind GmbH is at Graben 18 in Rottweil, registered at Amtsgericht Stuttgart. According to its FAQ, the platform runs as managed cloud hosting on Amazon AWS in Frankfurt, with shared or stand-alone server options, which gives you a German region on a US-owned cloud. No prices appear on the pages we read, the site is German first, and the platform is heavier than a creator tool.
What Spreadmind does well
- Managed hosting, updates and backups
- Editions for B2C, B2B and employee training
- ZFU approval service
- Frankfurt hosting stated
- Native app option
Where Spreadmind falls short
- No public prices
- Runs on AWS infrastructure
- Heavier than creator tools
- German-first site
Standout feature. It helps with ZFU approval of distance-learning courses in Germany, a regulatory service no other tool here lists.
Münster, Germany
Founded 2013
DigiMember PRO EUR 47/month or EUR 397/year excl. VAT, billed through DigiStore24; a free start version is offered
Demo on request
Best for: WordPress site owners who want a membership layer on their own site and use Digistore24 for sales
DigiMember is a plugin, not a hosted platform: you install it on your own WordPress site, define products and levels, and it protects pages, posts and courses. It releases lessons on a schedule and blocks access when an instalment is missed. The PRO version lists unlimited products, content dripping, exams and certificates, action-based marketing, all payment providers and all email tools for EUR 47 a month or EUR 397 a year excluding VAT, purchased through DigiStore24.
Digital Solutions GmbH in Münster, registered at Amtsgericht Münster as HRB 15019, publishes the plugin, which the vendor says has been on the market since 2013. Member data stays in your WordPress database, so no GDPR hosting guarantee applies beyond the host you choose. You are responsible for hosting, updates, security and video delivery, and there is no hosted course player, community or app.
What DigiMember does well
- Member data stays on your own WordPress
- One PRO price with all features
- Drip release and payment-based access
- Exams and certificates
- Established since 2013
Where DigiMember falls short
- You manage hosting and security
- No built-in video platform or app
- Sales via DigiStore24
- Requires WordPress
Standout feature. It is the only tool here that leaves member data in a database you run yourself.
Aachen, Germany
Creator EUR 29/month (30 participants), Starter EUR 119/month (100 participants), Premium EUR 299/month (500 participants), monthly billing; lower rates billed yearly
Demo on request
Best for: German-speaking organisations and trainers
edudip is webinar software, which makes it the odd one out in this category and the right companion to a course tool for anyone who sells live sessions. Participants can book and pay through edudip, and invoices are generated and sent automatically. Plans are sized by audience: Creator at EUR 29 a month for 30 participants, Starter at EUR 119 for 100 and Premium at EUR 299 for 500, with an enterprise tier on request and lower rates billed yearly.
edudip GmbH is registered in Aachen (Amtsgericht Aachen HRB 16012), and its site states that all personal data is stored exclusively on German servers. The site describes a technical webinar companion and full-service webinars where staff help run the session. Creator caps sessions at 2 hours, the site is mostly in German, and it has no lessons, quizzes or member area of its own.
What edudip does well
- Personal data on German servers (stated)
- Paid webinars with automatic invoicing
- Clear public plan prices
- Optional technical support during sessions
- Registered German GmbH
Where edudip falls short
- Mostly German-language site
- 2-hour limit on the cheapest plan
- Audience caps per plan
- Enterprise priced on request
Standout feature. It books, charges and invoices participants for a live session in one tool, with German data storage stated.
