Included in both plans

Every plan ships the full teaching toolkit.

  • Unlimited courses & members. Build one flagship course or fifty — enrol 10 students or 10,000 with no per-seat charges.
  • Drag-and-drop builder. Organise courses into sections and lessons, reorder by dragging, and create lessons in bulk.
  • Rich lesson content. Mix text, video, images, PDFs, audio, ePub, MS Office docs, quizzes, Zoom links and buttons.
  • Native storefront player. Students access "My Courses" in their account — sidebar lesson list, progress bar, completion ticks.
  • Certificates & progress. Award custom certificates on completion and track per-student progress and completion rates.
  • Branded email delivery. Enrolment and certificate emails sent from your own domain, with fully customizable templates.
Unlimited vs Unlimited Pro

The only difference is the video hosting.

Both plans unlock the entire course platform — the builder, members, quizzes, certificates, drip, discussions and branded email. Upgrade to Unlimited Pro when your videos outgrow Shopify's native file limits and you want Alva Video Hosting.

Billing questions

Pricing, answered.

There is no permanent free plan. Both plans — Unlimited at $9.99/mo and Unlimited Pro at $14.99/mo — start with a 14-day free trial, so you can build and sell a full course before you pay anything.
Video hosting. Both plans give you unlimited courses, members, comments, certificates and progress tracking. Unlimited uses Shopify-hosted video, capped at 1 GB / 10 minutes per video. Unlimited Pro adds Alva Video Hosting — 50 GB of dedicated storage with no per-video size or length limits.
No. Both plans are flat monthly; Alva Courses never takes a cut of your course sales. Enrol one student or ten thousand — the price on your invoice doesn't move.
