Independent numbers for course creators.

What we publish

Our main tool compares subscription costs, platform transaction fees, per-enrollment charges, and editable payment-processing assumptions. We also publish plain-language notes about plan limits and the points where upgrading can become cheaper than staying on an entry plan.

Editorial team and accountability

“CourseProfit Lab Editorial Team” is the brand-level byline for the research, calculations, sourcing, updates, and corrections published on this site. It does not represent a collection of anonymous guest writers or invented individual credentials.

Each factual pricing or feature claim is checked against a linked primary source. Calculated conclusions are reproduced from stated assumptions, and material corrections are recorded through the published research log and article update dates.

Who it is for

CourseProfit Lab is built for solo educators, coaches, and small learning businesses selling to a global English-speaking audience. The calculator focuses on common paid plans rather than enterprise contracts with negotiated pricing.

How readers find us

We publish evidence-based comparison pages, fee guides, and calculators designed to answer specific questions course creators search for. We also share short educational explanations through the CourseProfit Lab LinkedIn company page. Our audience development is based on organic search and useful public content; we do not buy followers, traffic, or email lists.

Publisher profile

CourseProfit Lab is an independent digital publisher for English-speaking course creators, coaches, educators, and solopreneurs. Our primary channels are organic search, practical comparison content, and educational LinkedIn posts. Official source links remain direct; any commission-bearing promotional link is separately labeled and disclosed.

What independence means here

Vendors do not pay to appear higher in the calculator. Fee rankings are generated from the same published formula for every platform. Our Teachable affiliate links are disclosed and do not change the calculations.

Our product brand: Story Systems Studio

CourseProfit Lab and Story Systems Studio share the same owner. CourseProfit Lab publishes free platform research and calculators; Story Systems Studio creates practical downloadable tools and planning kits. Our creator resources section connects the two without changing either brand.

Story Systems Studio’s existing Gumroad store handles product checkout and delivery. We benefit from those sales and disclose that relationship wherever the products are promoted. Product sales do not change the fee calculator’s rankings.
