Free forever plan

Create Your Online Academy — Free

Create an online academy with your own branding — courses, mock tests, community and payments in one platform. Free plan up to 50 learners; scale on Pro at ₹3,000/mo.

"Start online academy" searches spike every admission season — teachers planning to go independent, YouTubers formalising their audience, and institutes adding an online wing. An online academy is more than a course list: it's a branded home where students learn, test, discuss and pay. PrepVidya gives you that home — website, app, catalog, community and checkout — without writing a line of code or signing an annual contract.

What you get

A branded home, not a listing

Your academy's own website and app — logo, colors, custom domain — the moment you sign up.

Teach in every format

Video courses, live classes, mock tests, notes and a doubt community in one catalog.

Grow into a business

Analytics, gamification and payouts — the systems an academy needs as learners grow from 50 to 5,000.

How to your online academy in 6 steps

From signup to first paying learner — most educators complete step 1–5 on day one.

1

Create your academy

Sign up free and name your academy — your subdomain website goes live immediately.

2

Design your identity

Pick colors, upload a logo, write your tagline. Custom domain connects with two DNS records.

3

Build your first course

Record or upload videos, structure them into modules, attach notes and PDFs.

4

Add tests and community

Spin up mock tests and a doubt community — engagement loops that keep students returning.

5

Publish your catalog

Set prices, enable free previews, connect Razorpay and publish — your academy is open.

6

Enrol and grow

Invite your first cohort, watch analytics, iterate on what students actually use.

Why this works

Everything in one place

Website, app, courses, tests, community and payments — one login, one dashboard, one brand.

Zero to launched in a day

No developers, no designers, no setup fees. Most academies publish their first product the same day.

Scales with you

Start free at 50 learners; Pro (₹3,000/mo) removes limits and adds custom domain, branded apps and priority support.

You own the audience

Your students, your content, your payouts — the academy is an asset you own.
