Coachy vs Memberspot

Blog / Coachy vs Memberspot

Are you searching for the ideal online platform for your courses? You've come to the right article, where we'll compare two of the most popular providers: Memberspot and COACHY.

Features

With COACHY, users can quickly create their online school (member area) and professional landing pages. COACHY allows users to focus 100% on their content by providing an easy-to-use interface. Users can upload their videos (and other digital content) directly to COACHY and precisely determine, through a sophisticated member management system, which member can access which content at what time.

No Limit: There's no limit; users can upload as many files as they want.
Intuitive Interface: The entire member area is very intuitive, making it easy for beginners to get started.
Clear Course Structure: The online course structure is clearly defined, consisting of courses, chapters, lessons, and downloads.

Memberspot operates similarly to COACHY, focusing solely on the member area to provide members with the best possible learning experience.

In terms of core functionality, both providers are very similar. You'll find all the usual features such as tests and certificates, audio file uploads, time-controlled releases, commenting under videos, access for your employees, and comprehensive statistics on when members consumed course content.

Memberspot offers features that COACHY doesn't have (community feature, accompanying course emails), while COACHY also offers features missing in Memberspot (pop-ups in the member area during an action, landing page builder).

In simple terms, Memberspot aims to be your tool of choice for a training area, while COACHY also focuses on landing pages.

Both tools are intuitive to use and offer extensive training videos to ease the start, as well as support that is consistently praised in public reviews.

Payment Providers and Access Distribution

COACHY and Memberspot both offer beginner-friendly pricing. Connecting Digistore24 and CopeCart requires just a few clicks, and customers are automatically created, with access revoked in case of payment failure.

Additionally, other payment providers can be connected via Zapier, and members can be manually created and imported at any time. Registration forms for free access are available on both platforms, giving users full flexibility in enrolling members in their courses and trainings.

With COACHYs Deluxe package, users have the option to sell parts of a course, so members can potentially purchase the rest after logging in. With Memberspot, only entire courses can be automatically unlocked.

App

Both COACHY and Memberspot offer an app for the member area. Both use web-app technology, meaning users can brand the app with their own name and even their own app icon. Members can then install the app on their mobile phones via their browser, with an internet connection required, as the content is not available offline.

Integrations

COACHY primarily integrates with email providers, whereas Memberspot offers integration with a broader range of tools including project management tools.

For technically savvy users, Memberspot also offers an API. Tools that aren’t integrated can be connected to COACHY and Memberspot through Zapier.

Data Privacy

COACHY and Memberspot are European providers and are therefore bound by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All uploaded content is stored in the EU. COACHY also provides a data processing agreement for download in the member area with just one click.

Pricing

Both COACHY and Memberspot offer beginner-friendly pricing. The smallest package in COACHY (Premium) starts at €35 per month (when paid annually), allowing users to publish one online course. The smallest package in Memberspot (Essential) is also available starting at €34 per month (when paid annually) with one online course, but it's limited to 500 members.

From the middle packages onwards, both providers offer more courses and features, allowing users to grow their online presence effectively.
