About Ruzuku

Ruzuku is a small, long-running course platform that prioritises simplicity over feature lists. Instructors build step-by-step courses with video, audio and text, host live calls, and run discussion threads attached to lessons, which makes it well suited to small cohorts and coaching programmes. Ruzuku does not take transaction fees on sales, and every plan allows unlimited courses. There is a free tier limited to a handful of students so instructors can try it with a real group, then paid plans unlock unlimited students and, on the top tier, white-label branding, multiple instructors, certificates and a storefront. The trade-off is fewer marketing and design tools than Kajabi or Thinkific, and a smaller ecosystem of integrations. It runs in the browser. Ruzuku suits teachers, coaches and nonprofits who want an easy, fee-free place to run a course.

Best for: Coaches and teachers running small cohort courses who want simple, fee-free hosting.
