Comparing on price?

Each platform's plans, fees and limits, taken from its own pricing page, plus a checklist for moving platforms.

How we write these comparisons

Every guide lists more than one alternative, says when the original platform is the better choice, and takes prices only from each vendor's public pricing page, with the date we checked. AcadifyLab is included where it genuinely fits, and we say plainly where it does not, for example if you rely on built-in email marketing.

Before you switch any platform

Write down why you are leaving. Price, missing features, fees or support. It stops you choosing a platform with the same problem.

List your must-haves and find the plan on each alternative that includes all of them.

Compare yearly cost including transaction fees, app add-ons and user limits.
