Detailed Review
Coachy provides the protected member area for online courses: lessons with video, audio and downloads, two-factor protection, expiring download links and sequential content release. Both plans list unlimited members and storage.
The legal notice names Coachy OOD, Sofia, Bulgaria, represented by its director, with a Bulgarian VAT number. The vendor says data is stored in the EU. Sales are not run by Coachy itself: the plan descriptions and the included training area refer to Digistore24 and Quentn.
Premium and Deluxe
Premium covers a branded member area, a custom coachy.net address, an own-brand app, an AI outline generator, tracking codes and sequential activation. Deluxe adds 5 staff accesses, 50 automations, a landing page builder, upsells and downsells for Digistore24 products, tests and certificates, selling single chapters and use of your own domain.
Dependence on Digistore24
The upsell feature and the training content are written around Digistore24, a German payment and affiliate marketplace. If you want to run your own checkout with Stripe, check the integration list first.
Language
The member area can run in German or English, and the vendor site has both languages. The tone and tutorials lean toward the German market.
Limitations to Consider
Premium limits the number of products or courses, and the wording on the pricing page is ambiguous, so confirm the caps. Checkout and VAT handling depend on third-party tools. It has no built-in email marketing, webinars or community module beyond links to external groups.
Who Should Use Coachy
German-speaking coaches and trainers who already sell through Digistore24 and need a protected member area.
