Why creators pick Peerseek over Exly.
The course LMS is not on the free plan
Exly's pricing page lists "Host Recorded Courses with built-in LMS" under Pro, not Starter. Starter does say it sells courses, but the hosted video classroom is a Pro feature, from ₹30,000 a year. Peerseek's free plan includes encrypted video lessons, quizzes and certificates.
₹30,000 a year, then a bigger cut than ours
Pro takes 6% of each sale after the yearly fee, which is more than Peerseek's 5% before you count the ₹30,000. On ₹10 lakh of course sales that is ₹90,000 on Exly Pro against ₹50,000 on Peerseek. Billed quarterly, Pro is ₹9,000 a quarter, which is more again.
Apps and live classes are add-ons
A mobile app is a ₹60,000-a-year add-on on Exly and Zoom meetings another ₹18,000 a year below Premium. Peerseek courses play in any browser with nothing to install, and webinars sell from the same page, with no add-on bill.
Who Exly is built for
Exly is built around follow-up: WhatsApp and email automation, a lead CRM and international payments, with affiliates and a paid community on Premium. Its course LMS starts at ₹30,000 a year plus 6%. Peerseek hosts your course free at 5%, and free Instagram Auto DM sends the link to everyone who comments.
