Academy Launcher
What it is
Academy Launcher is a platform for creating and operating branded learning programs, bringing course delivery, commerce and academy administration together. Its course tools cover curricula, lessons, quizzes, assignments and learner support, with options for live classes, coaching, workshops, cohorts and recurring memberships. Creators can build pages, apply visual branding and keep academy touchpoints under their own domain. Sales tools include eCommerce, subscriptions, affiliates, email campaigns, sales funnels and automations; community features include feeds, chat, messages and bookings. An AI builder can draft outlines, lessons and questions for a creator to review and edit. Users can choose a managed database or connect their own Supabase project for authentication, database and file storage. Listed integrations include Stripe, Google Meet, OpenAI, Supabase and Resend. Customers provide provider accounts or credentials and manage those providers’ billing directly. The service is in beta and offers a 30-day trial. Trial checkout shows payment requirements, the first charge date and cancellation terms. Pricing is paid; no free plan is listed.
