Every line below is on our pricing page and in our help docs — not a marketing claim with fine print. If we ever break one, the export button still works on the way out.
Payments settle from your own gateway account straight to your bank — UPI, cards, NetBanking, EMI. We never touch your money. Our cut is the flat subscription you already pay, never a percentage skim on each sale.
Compared to
Most creator platforms take 2–10% of every transaction on top of the gateway fee — and lock 'zero commission' behind their priciest tier.
Per-entity CSV / JSON export is one click. Full workspace dump if you ever leave. Available on every plan, including the free tier. Your members, your roster, your earnings history — never hostage.
Compared to
Most platforms gate export behind a paid tier, ship half-dumps missing key entities, or charge a 'data migration fee' on the way out.
Storefront, live, community, content, docs, certificates, payments, blog, public site — one workspace, one member record, one analytics view. Cancel Discord + Zoom + Teachable + a custom landing site. Keep one bill.
Compared to
Most creators stitch together a hosted course tool, a community tool, a video tool, a payment tool, an email tool, a site builder. The bill adds up; the member record never reconciles.
UPI + Razorpay Route native, GST invoicing built in, INR pricing without the FX dance, 10-language portals (EN · HI · TA · ES · FR + more). Made by creators in India, for creators everywhere.
Compared to
Most platforms assume USD + a single card processor + English-only. UPI, GST, and INR are afterthoughts — if they ship at all.
No catch. All four ship on the free Starter plan. Paid tiers unlock more branding, more seats, and the team-tier features — never the commitments above.

Onboarding self-check
In about five seconds you'll see a real course outline, a cover image, a certificate, and a sales page — built around your topic, in your browser, yours to keep even if you never sign up.
The honest matrix
We checked the category norms across the typical educator stack before publishing every cell. No marketing-page fictions— if a feature only ships on a paid tier, the cell says “partial”. Hover any cell for the caveat.
Every quote below is from a real, verifiable buyer review on a public review site. We read every thread before we built.The right column is what we've committed to, in writing.
"Commission was said 3–6%, but they took 11% from me and also a percent from my customers."
Flat fee per plan. Zero percent commission on creator revenue — ever. Pricing is public and never changes for existing customers.
"Cancelled within 7-day trial window… no refund honoured, unable to do anything despite clear email proof."
30-day no-questions refund. Onboarding fees included — not buried in fine print. One support reply, money back.
"Pre-sale heaven, post-sale silence — the single most consistent complaint across 355 reviews."
Same inbox catches in-course doubts + public-page enquiries. Sub-2h response on P0 issues. Sidebar badge for unread.
"Lifetime promises broken… platform discontinued, no proper export path for our students or content."
Workspace-wide export from /dashboard/settings — courses, students, orders, certificates, blog, brand, everything.
"No API available."
Public REST API at /api/v1, scoped bearer tokens, transparent rate limits. Free on every plan. Generate a key in 30 seconds.
"They act like bosses and not partners and do everything as per themselves. Despite that, they have no accountability."
Public uptime + incident dashboard. Status page open to the world. We post-mortem every P0 incident and publish the fix within 7 days.

Type your brand name. Hit go. You’ll be looking at your live workspace in under a minute — store, courses, community, the lot.
The Big Class is a creator-business platform built India-first. One workspace bundles a public portal on the creator’s own URL, a storefront with eight product types, live classes with cohort recordings, a community feed, a knowledge layer (Docs), and a certificate system. Payments settle directly to the creator’s bank via Razorpay; zero platform commission; full one-click workspace export on every plan including the free tier.
Eight product kinds: self-paced courses, live cohorts (time-boxed batches with a feed + leaderboard + recordings), memberships (recurring access to bundled products with trial support), 1:1 sessions (coaching call delivery via booking link), webinars (scheduled events with meeting link + recording), digital downloads (PDFs, audio, video, ZIPs, design files), license keys (auto-issued from a pool), and bundles (compose any of the above at one price). Pricing models include one-time, subscription (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, annual + trial), and pay-what-you-want with minimum and suggested amounts. Coupons are percent or fixed, code-based, time-windowed, per-product, with usage caps.
Every workspace ships a public portal with 14 reorderable section types (hero, features, courses grid, store grid, testimonials, faculty, CTA, rich text, FAQ, stats, contact form, blog teaser, video, image gallery, logos strip, trust badges), 8 theme presets, 6 header layouts, 6 footer layouts, page-level SEO controls (meta, OG image, JSON-LD, sitemap, robots), custom CSS, custom domain via CNAME, white-label toggles, and a real blog system with scheduling, tags, comments, reactions, related posts, and lead-capture forms.
Live classes run on LiveKit with multi-host roomAdmin grants and cloud recording (composite egress to Cloudflare R2). Recordings ship with heuristic auto-chapters parsed from the WebVTT transcript, on-demand Groq / OpenAI transcription, and resume-from-last-position playback. Cohorts have a Common Room feed with posts, comments, reactions, @-mentions, file uploads, and a points-based leaderboard (attendance + quiz + assignment scoring).
Docs is a multiplayer editor built on BlockNote with Liveblocks for multi-cursor editing. Five typed embeds (lesson, recording, whiteboard, quiz, doc) render as live cards that update when the source artifact does. The six-tier audience model lets creators publish a doc to private, admins, workspace, a specific cohort, a specific course, or the public web at /k/<slug>. Backlinks are automatic via a universal reference-edge table. AI study guides can be generated from any class transcript + whiteboards + pinned chat questions.
UPI checkout via Razorpay, GSTIN tax-ID field, GST-inclusive invoicing, INR pricing without FX conversion, T+2 direct payouts to the creator’s bank, 10-language portals (English, Hindi, Tamil, Spanish, French, and more). Cards, NetBanking, no-cost EMI also supported for global checkout.
Zero commission on creator earnings — payouts settle directly from the creator’s own Razorpay account to their bank on T+2. One-click CSV / JSON export of every entity in the workspace on every plan, including the free Starter tier. No forced re-grade of the “lifetime” tier once purchased. 30-day refund window with no fine print. Six commitments documented at /founder-bill-of-rights.
