The Big Class vs Graphy

Graphy sells courses. We run the whole teaching loop.

Graphy is a solid storefront for selling and delivering courses — video, a branded app, checkout. But selling is one step. The hard part of a coaching business is everything around it: prepping fast, teaching live, catching the students about to drop off, reaching them where they read, and proving progress to parents. That loop is what we’re built for.

The loop a storefront can't run

Prep → Teach → Spot → Nudge → Prove

Step 1

Prep with AI

Generate a lesson deck — diagrams, outline, kid-mode — in minutes.

Step 2

Teach live

A real room: polls, raised hands, whiteboard, chapter-marked recording.

Step 3

Spot at-risk

Attendance + quiz + engagement signals flag who's quietly slipping.

Step 4

Nudge on WhatsApp

One tag fires a re-engagement message where students actually read.

Step 5

Prove progress

Hand parents a branded PDF progress report — no manual assembly.

Graphy gives you a great Step 0 — a place to sell and deliver. The other five steps are where coaching institutes and schools actually win or lose retention, and where we go further.

Head to head

Honest verdicts. Where Graphy is genuinely strong, we say so.

The Big Class vs Graphy — FAQ

Is The Big Class a good alternative to Graphy?
If you only need to sell and deliver courses, Graphy is strong — mature video and a branded app. The Big Class is the better fit when you also want to teach live (polls, whiteboard, recordings), spot at-risk students, reach them on WhatsApp, and prove progress to parents — the retention loop a storefront doesn't run — plus 0% commission and payouts to your own bank.
What does The Big Class do that Graphy doesn't?
AI lesson-deck prep, at-risk detection with parent/faculty progress reports, WhatsApp outreach to students and parents, and a built-in CRM with marketing automation. Live classes also ship with in-class polls, raised hands, and a whiteboard.
Where is Graphy stronger?
Honestly, video delivery and its branded mobile app are mature and a genuine strength. The Big Class delivers via a web portal with recordings (native app on request), so if a polished native app is your top priority, weigh that.
Can I migrate from Graphy without losing students?
Yes — export your student roster as CSV and bulk-import (deduped by email), recreate courses by pasting your existing video embed URLs, and point your domain over. Most teams move in an afternoon.
