Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between creating an account and launching a community?+
Creating an account on Learnea is completely free and gives you access to the platform as a member. Launching and managing your own community (community + courses + messages + creator tools) is paid, starting at $29/month, with a 14-day free trial.
What fees do I pay on my sales?+
Learnea takes a low commission on your sales: 5% on the Starter plan, 2% on the Pro plan. Standard Stripe payment fees (2.9% + 30¢ per card payment) apply on top. You keep almost all of your revenue, paid straight to your bank account with no hidden fees.
How does the free trial work?+
All plans include a 14-day free trial. You won’t be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel in 1 click at any time. You simply enter your card at signup to get started.
Are prices in US dollars?+
Yes, all prices on Learnea are in US dollars, with no hidden fees. With yearly billing, you get 2 months free.
Can I sell my courses individually?+
Yes. On top of access to your whole community (free or paid), each course can be sold on its own, unlocked automatically after X days, made private, or limited to certain members.
What devices can my members use?+
Learnea works in any browser, on mobile and desktop. Your members can access the courses, the community, and messages from anywhere, without installing anything.
Is Learnea a Skool alternative?+
Yes. Learnea is built as an alternative to Skool: courses and a paid community together, a clean, simple interface, payments in US dollars via Stripe, and responsive support. Where Skool takes 10% per sale on its Hobby plan, Learnea takes 5% on Starter and 2% on Pro.
Can I build a paid community with Learnea?+
Yes. Learnea brings courses and a paid community together in one place: community feed, private messages, gamification (points, levels, leaderboard), and subscriptions in US dollars. It works much like a Skool community.
Do I need technical skills to create my community?+
