What they are

Thinkific

Thinkific is a course platform where creators build, host, and sell self-paced or live courses directly to students. Coaches, educators, and subject-matter experts use it to package knowledge into paid products without needing a developer. The drag-and-drop builder is approachable, though the lower-tier plans restrict features like communities and advanced analytics behind higher paywalls.

Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
