Top 5 Course Platforms for Divorce Coaches, Ranked
The best course platforms for divorce coaches do more than host videos. A person going through separation finds you at an anxious moment, needs to trust you before paying, wants structure while everything else is shifting, and often needs you again months later when the decree is signed and a new life has to be built. So the deciding question is simple: which platform carries a client through all four of those stages without handing them off to five other tools along the way?
Our pick is Coachful, because it puts the course, the booking page, the signed coaching agreement, payment plans, a private community and daily check-ins behind one login and one branded client app. We make Coachful, so we have stated our ranking criteria up front and kept every vendor fact to what each company lists publicly. Kajabi, Podia, Thinkific and Teachable follow, each with a clear case for when it is the better choice.
This guide is built around how divorce coaching actually works rather than a generic feature checklist. If you are still deciding whether to sell a course at all, start with our page for divorce coaches; if you already know you need a course platform, read on.
What do divorce coaches need from a course platform at each stage?
Divorce coaches need a platform that handles four stages: attracting people in crisis, enrolling them with clear boundaries, delivering structured help while life is unstable, and staying useful after the legal process ends. A tool that only does the middle stage leaves you stitching the rest together.
Attract: meeting people at 11 p.m. with a search bar open
Most people looking for a divorce coach have not yet decided they need one. They are searching for things like what to do before telling a spouse, how to find a family-law attorney, or how to explain separation to children. Your course platform's first job is to turn that search into a relationship. That usually means a free mini-course or checklist (for example, "Your First 30 Days After Separation" or "Documents to Gather Before You Meet an Attorney"), a short webinar, and an email sequence that keeps showing up calmly over the next few weeks.
Discretion matters here more than in most niches. Someone may still share a home, a laptop or an email account with the person they are leaving. A sign-up flow that sends a loud, branded welcome email titled "Welcome to Divorce Recovery!" can cause real trouble. You want control over email subject lines, sender names and how much the first message says.
Enroll: a discovery call, a clear agreement, a payment people can manage
Divorce coaching sells on trust, and trust is built on a call. A free consultation before any paid program is the usual first step. After that call, three things have to happen quickly: the client signs a coaching agreement, pays (often in instalments, because legal fees are already landing), and gets access.
The agreement carries more weight for this audience than for most. It should state plainly that you are not an attorney, a mediator acting for both parties, or a licensed therapist, that nothing you teach is legal advice, and what you will do if a safety concern comes up. The ICF Code of Ethics asks coaches to agree scope, confidentiality and boundaries clearly with clients, and a signed agreement on file is the cleanest way to show you did.
Deliver: structure when nothing feels stable
Delivery for divorce coaches is rarely pure video. A typical flagship program mixes self-paced lessons (emotional regulation under stress, organising financial documents, preparing questions for an attorney or mediator, building a one-household budget, co-parenting communication scripts) with 1:1 sessions timed around legal milestones, and sometimes a small cohort that meets weekly. Some coaches who work alongside a collaborative divorce team also prepare clients for four-way meetings, which is a very specific kind of homework.
What clients need between sessions is small, regular contact: a daily check-in on how they are coping, a reminder to gather the next set of bank statements, a habit like a ten-minute walk before opening email from their ex. A course platform that can only show a list of lessons misses most of that.
Retain: after the decree
The signed decree is not the end of the work. Clients move into rebuilding: a new routine with the children on alternating weeks, a first budget on one income, sometimes dating again. Many divorce coaches offer a second program or a low-cost membership here, and an alumni community where people who are further along help those just starting. Keeping that community private, with first names only and moderated posts, is part of the product. Our guides to membership platforms for divorce coaches and community platforms for divorce coaches cover this stage in more depth.
A scope line worth repeating: divorce coaching is not legal advice and not therapy. Refer clients to a family-law attorney for legal questions, to a licensed therapist for depression, trauma or anything clinical, and, if a client describes abuse or fears for their safety, to local emergency services or, in the US, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233). Build those referrals into your course and your agreement, not just your head.
Which platform covers which stage of the divorce client journey?
Only Coachful covers all four stages natively; the course-first platforms are strong at delivery and attraction but leave enrollment paperwork and between-session support to other tools. The table below summarises what each vendor documents.
| Platform | Attract (lead magnet, webinar, email) | Enroll (booking, agreement, payment plans) | Deliver (course, 1:1, cohort, check-ins) | Retain (community, second offer) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Website, lead-magnet funnels, webinars, email sequences | Booking pages, e-signed agreements, payment plans | Courses with drip, programs, sessions, cohort groups, daily check-ins | Community, group chat, bundles, client journeys |
| Kajabi | Website, funnels, email | Checkout; no native e-signed agreement listed | Courses and community; no per-client check-ins | Community, memberships |
| Podia | Storefront, email (small subscriber allowance) | Coaching session products; no agreement tool listed | Courses, webinars; no habits or check-ins | Community spaces |
| Thinkific | Not a focus of its listed features | Checkout; booking relies on outside links | Courses, live community events | Communities, memberships |
| Teachable | Not a focus of its listed features | Checkout; booking relies on outside tools | Courses, student mobile apps | Not covered in its listed features |
How did we rank these course platforms?
We ranked each platform on four things that matter most to a divorce coach, and we weighted them openly. The criteria favour Coachful, and we say so plainly: they reflect how divorce coaching is sold and delivered, which is why we built the product this way.
- One login for the whole client journey. Can a client go from free mini-course to discovery call, agreement, payment and program without leaving your brand?
- Between-session delivery. Does the platform support check-ins, habits and messages between calls, or only video lessons?
- Total stack cost. What do you actually pay once scheduling, agreements, email and community are added?
- Setup effort. How much building does a coach do alone? Coachful's free white-glove build service counts here.
We did not test these products hands-on for this article. Vendor prices and limits are as each company listed them in October 2026, and ratings come from public review sites as noted.
Ranking criteria: one login for the client journey, between-session delivery, total stack cost, and setup effort.
| Platform | Rank | Best for | Entry price as listed | Main gap for divorce coaches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | #1 | Courses plus 1:1, cohorts and aftercare in one branded app | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Not a course marketplace; not HIPAA-certified |
| Kajabi | #2 | Coaches with a large audience selling courses and memberships | $179/mo ($143/mo annual) | No per-client check-ins; highest entry price here |
| Podia | #3 | A simple storefront for a mini-course, workshop and sessions | $49/mo ($42/mo annual), 5% fee | Small email allowances; no mobile app |
| Thinkific | #4 | Course-heavy programs with live community events | $109/mo ($82/mo annual) | No built-in 1:1 scheduling |
| Teachable | #5 | Selling a single low-cost course cheaply | $39/mo ($29/mo annual), 7.5% fee | No native scheduling or check-ins |
1. Coachful: is it the best course platform for divorce coaches?
Yes, for divorce coaches who sell courses alongside coaching rather than instead of it. Coachful is a coaching platform where courses sit inside the same account as booking, payments, coaching agreements, programs with daily check-ins, community and email, so a client going through separation deals with one app carrying your branding instead of a different login for every step.
Courses that sit next to the coaching
Courses in Coachful have modules, lessons, drip scheduling and completion tracking, and they are delivered into the client's branded home and app. You can also add downloads, videos, books and AI tools, and package them into bundles. For a divorce coach, that means the free "First 30 Days After Separation" mini-course, the flagship course on preparing for mediation, and a worksheet library of budget templates and document checklists all live in one place, and you can see who actually finished the module on organising financial records before your next call.
If you do not want to write a course from scratch, Coachful includes 48 course templates with quizzes and more than 40 ready-to-film program templates. Michelle, the built-in AI assistant, works from your live practice data and can build a program outline, draft emails and content, summarise recorded sessions and brief you before each session. Questions and planning with Michelle are included in your Coachful membership; confirmed builds and changes use AI credits.
Enrollment without five browser tabs
This is where Coachful differs most from the course-first tools. Booking pages handle availability rules, buffers, minimum notice and time-zone detection, with two-way Google, Apple/iCloud and Outlook calendar sync and built-in video or auto-created Zoom, Meet or Teams links. You can ask intake questions at booking, which is a gentle way to learn whether children are involved, where the legal process stands, and whether there is any safety concern before you ever meet.
After the consultation, the client gets a coaching agreement with e-signature before the first paid call, stored on their client record. That is the place for your scope line: not legal advice, not therapy, when you will refer out. See our page on coaching contracts for what to include. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect or Razorpay account and support one-time charges, subscriptions, payment plans, order bumps, coupons, refunds, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Coachful takes a 0% platform fee; you pay only Stripe or Razorpay processing. Payment plans matter for this audience, because clients are often paying retainers to attorneys at the same time.
Between-session support during the hardest months
Programs in Coachful run over multiple weeks with weekly goals, daily tasks, habits, morning and evening check-ins, goals with progress bars and streaks. A divorce coach might set a morning check-in that asks how the client slept and one thing they will do today, and an evening check-in that asks whether they had contact with their ex and how it went. Each client record shows goals, check-ins, habits, notes, intake answers, tags, payments and sessions, with a status of thriving, active, quiet or at risk, so a client who goes silent during a contested custody week is visible to you before your next session.
You can also configure an AI Coach, an AI version of you that selected clients can chat with between sessions. Some divorce coaches will want this for routine questions like "what was the script for asking to swap weekends?"; others will keep it off and rely on direct messages. Either way, you decide who gets it.
Cohorts, community and aftercare
Coachful creates a cohort group automatically when clients enroll in a program, and adds a community feed, group chat, direct messages, video events, group calls and webinars. That covers the "Rebuilding After Divorce" cohort that meets every Tuesday evening and the alumni community for people a year past their decree. Our guide to group coaching platforms for divorce coaches goes deeper on running those groups.
Here is a short walkthrough of how programs are built in Coachful:
Attracting clients from the same account
The section-based website builder includes a blog, custom domain, SEO settings and 30 designed homepage templates. Booking, application, lead-magnet and checkout funnels support pixels and UTM tracking, and email lists, broadcasts and multi-step sequences with triggers, delays, branching and A/B splits run from the same account. Because you write every subject line and sender name yourself, you can keep the first emails to a new lead discreet. Instagram automations can send a booking link or a free checklist by DM when someone comments a keyword on a post. For more on this stage, see platforms to get clients for divorce coaches.
Why Coachful stands out: a free white-glove service. From Create, the "We'll build it for you · FREE" option lets you describe what you want built: a website, a funnel for your mediation-prep mini-course, a sales page, a program, a course outline and written material, an email sequence, a form or worksheet, and more. You can attach up to 8 reference links and up to 10 files such as your logo, photos and existing copy. The Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. Nothing is invented: no fake credentials, testimonials or prices, and gaps are left for you to fill. It does not include recording videos, logo design, ad management or ongoing marketing. One recent build: a somatic coach leaving Kajabi had the homepage and About page rebuilt and the contact form connected. Read more about the free white-glove service.
What Coachful does not do
Coachful is not HIPAA-certified and offers no BAA, so it is not the place for clinical records; if you are also a licensed therapist, keep therapy notes in a clinical system. There is no PayPal and no permanent free plan. The client app ships under the Coachful listing with your branding, not under your own App Store account. It is not a course marketplace, so it will not send you buyers the way a marketplace might. Pricing is a flat monthly plan, with lower plans capping the number of clients and Pro unlimited (current plans: Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients; Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients; Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients; Studio: $199/month with unlimited clients). Monthly plans cancel in one click, and there is a free trial.
Pick it over the others if you sell a course as part of a coaching relationship, with consultations, agreements, payment plans, check-ins and a private community, and you want one login for all of it.
2. Kajabi: the strongest pure course and membership suite?
Kajabi is the most complete knowledge-product platform on this list, combining courses, community, website, funnels and email. For a divorce coach who already has a large email list or podcast audience and sells mainly self-paced courses and a membership, it is a credible home.
How a divorce coach would use it
A typical Kajabi setup for this niche is a free "Telling the Kids" video series as a lead magnet, a funnel into a $297 course on surviving the first year (an illustrative price), and a monthly community for people rebuilding afterwards. Kajabi's funnels and email handle the attract stage well, and its community feature gives you somewhere to host an alumni group.
Price as listed
As listed in October 2026, Kajabi Basic is $179/month ($143/month billed annually) with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, 1 community, 1 website, 2 admin users and 0 AI credits. Growth is $249/month ($199/month annually) with 50 products, 25,000 contacts and 500 AI credits. Pro is $499/month ($399/month annually). Kajabi Payments in the US costs 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic; using another processor adds a Kajabi fee of 2% on Basic, 1% on Growth or 0.5% on Pro. The standard trial is 14 days.
Where it falls short for this niche
Kajabi treats coaching as products and communities, not per-client plans. There are no habit tracking or daily client check-ins, so the emotional support between sessions has to happen somewhere else. The 5-product cap on Basic fills quickly for a divorce coach: a free mini-course, a flagship course, a workshop recording, a co-parenting module sold separately and a membership already use all five. Kajabi has a Trustpilot score of 3.4 from 2,347 reviews (seen October 25, 2026).
Pick it over Coachful if your business is mostly self-paced courses sold to a large audience, 1:1 work is a small part of it, and you value Kajabi's marketing depth over per-client tracking.
3. Podia: an affordable storefront for a first offer
Podia is a simple storefront for courses, downloads, webinars, coaching sessions and community. It suits a divorce coach launching a first digital product who wants something quick and inexpensive.
Fit for a separation workshop and a mini-course
A good Podia setup for this niche is a downloadable "Questions to Ask a Divorce Attorney" guide, a recorded two-hour workshop on co-parenting communication, and a short course, all on one storefront page. Podia also lets you sell coaching session products, which gives you a basic way to charge for a strategy call.
What it costs, per Podia's own page
As listed in October 2026, Mover is $49/month ($42/month annually) with 50 products and 100 email subscribers included, and it carries a 5% Podia transaction fee. Shaker is $99/month ($84/month annually) with 150 products, 500 email subscribers and 0% Podia fee. Earthquaker is $179/month ($150/month annually) with unlimited products and 1,000 email subscribers. Stripe or PayPal processing of about 2.9% + 30¢ applies on top. The trial is 14 days with no credit card required.
The trade-offs
Email allowances are the main constraint. A divorce coach's list grows from people who download a free checklist and then wait months before they are ready, and 100 or 500 included subscribers fill up quickly. Podia has no mobile app and no native video calls, according to its older profile, and no client habits, check-ins or per-client plans. There is no agreement tool listed, so your scope disclaimers live in a separate e-signature service. Podia has a Trustpilot score of 4.1 from 153 reviews (seen October 25, 2026).
Pick it over Coachful if you only want to sell one or two digital products and the occasional paid call, and a low monthly cost matters more than client tracking or an app.
4. Thinkific: built for course-heavy programs
Thinkific is a dedicated course platform with communities, memberships, and coaching and webinar products. A divorce coach whose main offer is a long, structured course, perhaps one certified for a professional audience such as mediators or financial planners, will find its course tooling deep.
Course depth and live events
Thinkific is good at long courses with many modules, and its communities support spaces and live community events. A divorce coach could run a twelve-module "Divorce Preparation" course with a community space for each cohort and a monthly live Q&A as a community event.
Listed pricing in October 2026
Start is $109/month ($82/month annually) with up to 10,000 current students, 2 admins, 1 community with 10 spaces and 5 live community events. Grow is $219/month ($164/month annually) and Expand is $499/month ($374/month annually). Thinkific charges 0% transaction fee with Thinkific Payments, and an extra gateway fee applies with third-party Stripe or PayPal gateways. There is a 30-day free trial. Prices rose about 10% on August 13, 2026. A branded mobile app is a $199/month add-on.
What a divorce coach will miss
Thinkific has no built-in 1:1 scheduling; coaching relies on outside booking links, according to its older profile. There are no client habits, daily check-ins or per-client plans, and no listed agreement tool. For a business where the consultation and the 1:1 sessions around mediation dates are the core of the offer, that means adding at least a scheduler and an e-signature service. On Trustpilot, Thinkific scores 1.8 from 868 reviews (seen October 25, 2026), which is worth reading before you commit.
Pick it over Coachful if you mainly sell a long, self-paced course, possibly to other professionals, and 1:1 coaching is handled elsewhere or not at all.
5. Teachable: the cheapest way to sell one course
Teachable is a course and digital-product platform with student mobile apps. It is the lowest-cost entry point here for a divorce coach who wants to test whether a single course will sell.
Where Teachable makes sense
A divorce coach testing demand might put a $49 "Separation Budget Bootcamp" (an illustrative price) on Teachable, promote it to their existing list, and see how many people buy before investing in anything bigger. The student apps let buyers watch lessons on a phone, which helps clients who no longer have private access to a shared family computer.
Pricing details and the Starter fee
As listed in October 2026, Starter costs $39/month ($29/month annually) with 5 products and a 7.5% platform fee. Builder costs $89/month ($69/month annually) with 10 products and 0% platform fee; Growth costs $189/month ($139/month annually) with 50 products and 5 admins. Teachable Payments processing for US cards is 2.9% + 30¢. The plan cards show a 7-day free trial plus a 30-day guarantee.
The Starter fee adds up fast. As an illustration, selling a $1,200 program to 5 clients brings in $6,000, and a 7.5% fee takes $450 of that before card processing.
Gaps to plan around
Teachable has no native scheduling or calendar sync; coaching calls rely on Calendly or Zoom, according to its older profile. There are no client habits, daily check-ins or per-client plans. Teachable has a Trustpilot score of 3.3 from 1,110 reviews (seen October 25, 2026).
Pick it over Coachful if you want to sell one self-paced course at the lowest monthly cost and have no plans yet for 1:1 programs, cohorts or a community.
What does each stack cost at 5, 15 and 40 clients?
An all-in-one stack in Coachful costs one subscription; an assembled stack costs the course platform plus a scheduler, an e-signature tool and sometimes an email or community tool on top. Course platforms charge by products, contacts or students rather than coaching clients, so their listed price often stays flat as your client count grows while the add-ons do not.
| Platform (plan that fits) | 5 clients | 15 clients | 40 clients | Still needed for divorce coaching |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachful | Lite: $29/month for up to 5 clients | Solo: $49/month for up to 20 clients | Pro: $99/month with unlimited clients | Nothing extra for booking, agreements, email or community |
| Kajabi Basic | $179/mo | $179/mo | $179/mo | Scheduler, e-signature tool, check-ins |
| Podia Shaker | $99/mo | $99/mo | $99/mo (500 email subscribers included) | E-signature tool, video calls, check-ins |
| Thinkific Start | $109/mo | $109/mo | $109/mo | Scheduler, e-signature tool, check-ins |
| Teachable Builder | $89/mo | $89/mo | $89/mo | Scheduler, e-signature tool, check-ins |
Prices for non-Coachful tools are monthly-billing list prices as of October 2026, before card processing. The scheduler and e-signature tools in the right-hand column are separate subscriptions at their own prices, so check current pricing before you compare totals.
Recipe 1: all-in-one
Coachful alone covers the website and lead-magnet funnel, your opt-in mini-course, booking for consultations, the e-signed agreement, payment plans through your Stripe account, the flagship course and program with check-ins, the cohort group and the alumni community. One login for you, one branded app for the client. If you have fewer clients now, the lower plans cap client numbers; as you grow, Pro is unlimited.
Recipe 2: course platform plus add-ons
A common assembled stack is Kajabi Basic for the course, funnels and email, plus a separate scheduler for consultations, a separate e-signature tool for agreements, and nothing for daily check-ins. That is three logins for you and at least two for the client, and you will copy names between systems every time someone enrolls. For a deeper look at the email piece, see email marketing platforms for divorce coaches.
Recipe 3: budget assembled
Teachable Starter plus free tiers of a scheduler and an e-signature service looks cheap until you sell. The 7.5% Starter fee on even a handful of program sales can exceed the cost of a full all-in-one plan, as the illustrative $450 example above shows.
How would a divorce coach set this up in Coachful, step by step?
A practical first setup takes a few sessions of work, or less if you hand the build to the white-glove team. Here is an illustrative sequence for a coach launching a 10-week "Steady Through Separation" program with a free mini-course in front of it.
- Request the build. Use "We'll build it for you · FREE" to describe a five-page site, a lead-magnet funnel for "Documents to Gather Before You Meet an Attorney", and a sales page for the program. Attach your logo, headshot and any existing copy.
- Create the free mini-course. Three short lessons: what to do in the first week, how to find the right professionals (attorney, mediator, therapist), and how to talk to children without oversharing. Add the document checklist as a download.
- Write a discreet nurture sequence. Five emails over three weeks with neutral subject lines, ending with an invitation to a free 20-minute consultation.
- Set up the consultation booking page. Add buffers and minimum notice, and intake questions about children, where the legal process stands, and any safety concerns.
- Draft the coaching agreement. Include the scope line (not legal advice, not therapy), confidentiality, your referral policy and cancellation terms. Have a local attorney review it. It goes out for e-signature before the first paid call.
- Build the offer with a payment plan. For example, a pay-in-full option and a three-instalment option for the same program. Set the price after working out your hours per client; we do not quote market rates here because we have no sourced figure for this niche.
- Build the program. Ten weeks with weekly goals, the flagship course lessons dripped weekly, a morning check-in, an evening check-in, and one habit such as a short walk before reading messages from the ex.
- Turn on the cohort group. Enrollment creates it automatically. Set community rules: first names only, no details that identify the other parent, no legal strategy advice between members.
- Plan the aftercare offer. A low-cost membership or second program for life after the decree, sold to graduates with a bundle or a coupon.
How do you move an existing divorce course without losing clients?
Move in a quiet week, keep the old platform running until current clients finish, and tell clients exactly where to log in. Divorce clients are already managing a lot of change, so a confusing login switch costs more goodwill than it would with most audiences.
- Do not migrate mid-crisis. If a client has a court date or mediation session in the next two weeks, leave them where they are until it passes.
- Export everything first. Download your course videos, worksheets, student lists and any completion data from the old platform before you cancel.
- Use the onboarding import. In Coachful, clients, programs and content are imported for you during onboarding, so you are not rebuilding lessons by hand.
- Rewrite your agreement once. Moving is a good moment to tighten the scope language and get every active client to sign the new version electronically.
- Send one clear email. Explain the new login, what has not changed (their progress, their sessions, you), and who to contact if anything looks wrong. Keep the subject line neutral.
- Check your redirects. Update links in your podcast notes, directory listings and referral partners' pages, such as attorneys and mediators who send you clients.
If you ever leave Coachful, a full client data export as a ZIP (roster, notes, check-ins, goals, habits, sessions, form responses) and a course export are available, so you are not locked in.
What mistakes do divorce coaches make when choosing a course platform?
The most common mistake is choosing on video hosting alone and discovering later that consultations, agreements and support have to live elsewhere. A few others are specific to this niche:
- Loud onboarding emails. A cheerful default welcome email sent to a shared inbox can expose a client's plans. Rewrite every automated message.
- An open community. Public or loosely moderated groups risk an ex-partner or their friend reading posts. Use private groups tied to enrollment.
- Teaching legal strategy. A module titled "How to Win Custody" pulls you outside coaching scope. Teach preparation, organisation and communication, and refer legal questions to attorneys.
- Ignoring transaction fees. A 5% or 7.5% fee looks small until a group program sells. Compare total cost, not entry price.
- No plan for after the decree. Without a retain stage, every client leaves the moment the paperwork is signed.
Which course platform should a divorce coach choose?
Choose Coachful if your course is part of a coaching relationship that includes consultations, signed agreements, payment plans, between-session check-ins and a private community. It is the only platform here that covers all four stages of the divorce client journey in one place, and the free white-glove build service removes most of the setup work.
Choose Kajabi if you sell mainly self-paced courses and a membership to a large existing audience. Choose Podia for a small, inexpensive storefront with one or two products. Choose Thinkific for a long course, perhaps aimed at other professionals, with live community events. Choose Teachable to test a single low-cost course.
In short: Coachful is a coaching platform for coaches who deliver programs, not just sessions, including solo coaches growing into a small team and coaches replacing four to six tools. It covers booking, payments, agreements, programs with check-ins, courses, community, website, funnels and email under one login. It is not HIPAA-certified, has no PayPal and is not a course marketplace. To start, take a free trial and ask the team to build your site, funnel or program with the free white-glove service. You can compare it with more tools on our comparison page, or read related guides on course platforms for relationship coaches and course platforms for grief coaches, whose clients face similar loss.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best course platform for divorce coaches?
Coachful is our pick for divorce coaches who combine courses with consultations, 1:1 sessions and group work, because it covers booking, e-signed agreements, payment plans, courses, check-ins and community in one branded app. Kajabi is the strongest choice if you sell mainly self-paced courses to a large audience. We make Coachful, so we have published our ranking criteria above.
Can I sell a divorce course without a website?
Yes. Coachful includes a link-in-bio page that sells and checkout funnels, so you can share one link from social profiles or a podcast. Podia's storefront also works as a single page you can share. Most coaches still add a simple website later for search traffic.
Should a divorce coaching course include legal information?
It can include general preparation, such as which documents to gather or what questions to ask an attorney, but not legal advice. Laws vary by state and country, so state clearly that you are not an attorney and refer legal questions to a family-law attorney. Put this in your coaching agreement as well as in the course.
How do I keep divorce clients' information private?
Use private, enrollment-only groups, ask members to use first names, write neutral email subject lines, and avoid collecting more detail than you need. Coachful is GDPR-ready but not HIPAA-certified, so clinical notes from licensed therapy work belong in a clinical system.
Can clients pay for a divorce coaching program in instalments?
Yes. Coachful supports payment plans through your own Stripe or Razorpay account, alongside one-time payments and subscriptions. Kajabi, Podia, Thinkific and Teachable also offer payment options through their checkouts; check each vendor's current details.
Do I need a separate scheduling tool with a course platform?
With Thinkific and Teachable, usually yes, since neither lists built-in 1:1 scheduling. Podia offers coaching session products. Coachful includes booking pages with calendar sync, video links, reminders and intake questions, so no separate scheduler is needed.
What is Coachful's free white-glove service?
It is a free build service on every plan. You describe what you need, such as a website, funnel, program, course outline or email sequence, attach up to 8 links and 10 files, and the Coachful team builds it inside your account, usually within about 24 hours. It does not include recording videos, logo design or ad management.
Is a group course or 1:1 coaching better for divorce clients?
Many divorce coaches use both: a self-paced course for the practical material, 1:1 sessions around legal milestones, and a cohort for peer support. Clients with safety concerns or high-conflict situations often need 1:1 time rather than a group. A platform that handles all three lets you match the format to the client.
Can I move my course from Kajabi or Teachable to Coachful?
Yes. During onboarding, clients, programs and content are imported for you. Export your videos and student lists from the old platform first, and keep it running until active clients finish their current stage.
Does Coachful work for divorce coaches with a small team?
Yes. Team plans add coach seats with per-coach availability and staff permissions, and multi-coach session types can assign consultations by round-robin or least-busy. See the plans page for team options.
