Description
Softbook is a learning management system for people who teach online and sell what they teach: online schools, independent creators and companies that train their staff.
Everything a school runs on sits in one product. You build courses with video, PDF, audio, quizzes and homework, set drip or fixed-date schedules, and issue certificates that anyone can check on a public verification page. Sales happen in the same place: single courses, bundles, subscriptions, promo codes and a checkout right on your landing page. Each order becomes a deal in the built-in CRM, and automations take it from there: they enroll the student, send an email or a Telegram message, or call a webhook.
Marketing is part of the platform too. You get email and Telegram campaigns, Telegram chatbots that can take payment inside the chat, and a website builder that works on your own domain. Analytics shows where students drop out of a course and which traffic sources bring revenue.
Students learn in the browser or in the Softbook LMS app for iOS and Android. They watch lessons, take quizzes, record voice answers to homework and message the school. Your team uses the same app to check homework, manage students and follow deals and orders.
Softbook takes no commission on your sales, and the price stays the same however many students you have. A school with a course and payments can be live in 15 minutes, no coding needed. The 30-day free trial opens every feature.
