Mentoring Page — All-in-One Coaching OS

Everything your coaching practice needs, from day one

Podia — Two Plans

Two paid tiers — transaction fees, payment processors, and the affiliate program scale with the plan.

Native session booking, not 'connect Calendly'

Podia explicitly tells you to plug in an external scheduler — Calendly, Acuity, SavvyCal — for 1:1 coaching. That means three tools, three subscriptions, two tabs to manage, and no native calendar sync from your storefront. Mentoring Page has full booking built in: availability, timezones, ICS feeds, automated reminders, intake forms.

Higher-ticket coaching offers, not just digital downloads

Multi-session packages, payment plans for retainers, application gating, intake forms — built for the way coaches actually package work. Podia's product types center on downloads, courses, and memberships.

0% fees and the affiliate program from day one

Podia's Mover plan charges 5% per sale and excludes affiliates — to get 0% fees and the affiliate program you have to upgrade to Shaker at $75/month annual. Mentoring Page includes both at $37/month from your first plan.
