Own vs Rent
Stop renting your course business.
A rented platform is a fine place to start. It's an expensive place to stay. Every month, you pay. You accept their limits. Their look. Their roadmap. We build the other option — a custom course platform made for you, shipped in 21 days.
Renting vs. owning your course platform
| Rented platform | Owned with Codeyle | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From ~€165/mo, and it climbs with your contacts. | Built once. Then hosting from €5/month. That's it. |
| Payments | Processed through their system. | Straight to your own Stripe. Your revenue, your account. |
| Product limits | Entry plan: 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 2 admins. Pay more to lift each. | None. It's your platform. |
| Design | A theme. | Your brand. Every screen. |
| Ownership | The platform isn't yours. | Your brand, content, and students. Yours. We handle the rest. |
| Roadmap control | Wait. | Yours. Not a queue. |
| Time to launch | Today. Generic. | 21 days. Made for you. |
Comparisons reflect a leading platform's publicly listed plans.
Let's actually do the math.
A leading all-in-one course platform charges about €230/month on its most popular plan — about €460 as you grow. That's €2,760 to €5,520 a year. Every year. Forever. For software you rent and never own. A custom platform from Codeyle is one-time, plus hosting from €5/month. Within the first year or two, you've spent less than you'd hand a rented platform to keep renting — and you own the result. Every year after is pure savings.

Common questions
- Is custom really cheaper than renting?
- Two or three years of monthly fees cost more than a platform built once and owned outright. After your build pays for itself, you're not renting anymore — you own it.
- How does moving off a rented platform work?
- We map it on a call. Content, students, setup — with a clear timeline before you commit. Most builds ship in around 21 days.
- Am I locked into something I can't control?
- No. Your platform is built for you alone — your brand, your content, your students. Payments run through your own Stripe; we never touch your revenue. No commission. No platform tax. We keep the lights on so you don't have to.
