The short answer
One course can fit the Systeme.io Free plan if your other requirements fit and you remain below its $10,000 lifetime platform-sales limit, excluding affiliate commissions. Startup allows 5 courses for $17 monthly; a sixth course moves the capacity check to Webinar at $47. The detailed table lists 500 students on Free and unlimited on paid tiers. Enter your student count; a promotional summary differs, so confirm the Free allowance with the provider. Check teaching features and existing learner access separately.

Write down how someone pays, receives access, signs in, progresses through lessons and gets help. Add certificates, assessments, communities or recurring access if you use them. A course counter alone cannot establish whether a platform covers these requirements. Test the most demanding course first, rather than a simple sample that misses your real needs.
Separate course content from customer entitlements
Moving videos and lesson text is different from moving enrollment rights. Ask the provider which elements it will reproduce, what you must export, and how existing students receive access. Keep records of purchases and permissions in your original system until reconciliation is complete. Never upload student lists or passwords to GrowthBudget.
Put the transition into the budget
Budget time for a sample enrollment, a failed payment, cancellation and account recovery. Include tools you will retain, such as a specialist assessment system. If an annual plan reduces the equivalent monthly price, still record the upfront payment and the financial commitment. A lower annual cost is useful only when the platform is a fit for your actual teaching model.
Your decision checklist
- Test purchase through lesson access
