About PaywallCompass
Newsletter, course, membership and community platforms compared on the prices they actually publish, verified and dated
What is on this site
12 guides, each with its sources on the page , 21 answers to the questions around them , and the comparison.
- How to price your online course: Course pricing goes wrong in two directions.
- How to create a membership site: A membership site sells the same thing every month: access.
- Paid newsletter: A paid newsletter is a subscription to a writer.
- Sales funnel for an online course: A course funnel is four stages: something free that earns an email address, a short sequence that earns trust, an offer with a reason to buy now, and a checkout that does not leak.
- Sentence expander: A sentence expander takes a short line and returns a longer one.
- AI copywriting tools: AI copywriting tools are sold to marketing teams and priced accordingly, which is why a creator looking for one so often finds a page quoting a number that has nothing to do with them.
- AI bio generator: A bio generator writes the two or three sentences that sit under your name on a newsletter, a course page or a profile.
- Free AI video generator online: Free is the most overloaded word in AI video.
- AI talking head video generator: A talking head generator turns a script into a video of a person speaking it.
- AI sound generator: Generated audio is the part of a creator's kit where the price on the pricing page is the least important number.
- Video idea generator: A video idea generator returns a list of titles from a topic.
- AI tools for content creation: Most roundups of AI tools rank things that do different jobs, which is why they are impossible to act on: a rewriter and an avatar video generator are not competitors and there is no honest ordering between them.
Where the figures come from
Creator-platform prices (USD) verified against each vendor's own pricing page on 2026-09-03 by hubs/paywallcompass.com/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned); platform-type coverage evidenced by the vendor's live product page.
