Best Done-for-You Course Creation Services in 2026 (and the DIY Route)
The best done-for-you course creation services in 2026 are COURSE (course.co), Done For You (doneforyou.com), Course Crafters, Course Mogul, Simple Seven and Entrepedia's course studio. COURSE publishes a 90-day Build package at $24,000 and Entrepedia's studio projects run $5,000 to $15,000; the others quote after a call. If you would rather build the course yourself, the main platforms are Kajabi, Thinkific and LearnWorlds, where you pay a monthly subscription and do the content work.
Below is a comparison table, a short profile of each agency with what it actually includes, and a section on the DIY route. We run Entrepedia's course studio, so it is on the list, but the right choice depends on whether you want to film, which platform you use and how much of the marketing you want handled.

- Build, $24,000 over 90 days: curriculum architecture, up to 12 lessons and up to 90 finished video minutes, remote recording direction, professional editing, LMS setup, sales and checkout pages, up to six launch emails and launch support.
- Operate, from $3,000 a month: ongoing production, platform admin and enrollment campaigns for live programs.
Its services page says it sets up Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific or GoHighLevel and that launches typically take one to four months.
Best for: experts with proven demand who want a fixed, published price for strategy, production and launch.
Done For You
Done For You's course creation service covers brainstorming the course, filming on location or over Zoom, editing (with transcripts, summaries and notes) and publishing on the platform of your choice. Prices aren't published; you start with a project form.
Best for: experts who want the filming and editing handled and already have a platform in mind.
Course Crafters
Course Crafters, run by Masterly, lists course strategy, curriculum planning, video, guides and tools, professional filming and post-production at Masterly Studios in Buckhead, Atlanta, platform setup, a dedicated project manager and branding on its done-for-you page. Prices are by consultation.
Best for: business owners and companies who want studio-quality video and can film in Atlanta.
Course Mogul
Course Mogul's done-for-you service includes curriculum design, scripting, workbooks and worksheets, editing, platform setup and marketing funnels. It is a Kajabi partner and also works with Thinkific, Teachable, LearnWorlds and Podia. Most clients record their own videos or voiceovers with Course Mogul's guidance, builds average about 90 days, and clients own the course and keep their earnings. Prices are given after a free strategy session.
Best for: coaches comfortable on camera who want the writing, structure and tech done for them.
Simple Seven
Simple Seven, at simpleseven.com, works with coaches, consultants and experts on refining the course idea, content storyboarding, marketing and technical setup, and branded worksheets and workbooks in a learning portal. It also sells a self-paced bootcamp for people who would rather build the course themselves. Its site doesn't mention filming, and prices are by application.
Best for: coaches who want expert help shaping the program and materials, with the option of a cheaper DIY route.
Entrepedia's course studio
Entrepedia's done-for-you course service builds a branded academy rather than a set of videos for someone else's platform. You send the material you already have, such as a book, slide decks, handbooks, recordings or notes; the page says your part usually takes an afternoon. You approve the outline first, then the studio makes the lessons and launches the academy on your own domain, selling through your own Stripe account.
What is included, according to the service page:
- Video lessons as drawn explainers, narrated decks or presenter videos, captioned, so you don't have to film.
- Practice built from scenarios, drills and role-play, with written feedback.
- An AI tutor that answers from your course content.
- Branded certificates with a public verification link.
- Audio versions of every written lesson.
Projects run $5,000 to $15,000, and every academy is scoped on a free strategy call. The academy runs on Entrepedia's own academy platform, so if you are committed to Kajabi or Thinkific, an agency that builds on those, such as COURSE or Course Mogul, will fit more naturally. If you also want a book from the same material, the studio's ghostwriting service and custom product service cover that.
Best for: experts with existing material who want a finished, branded course without filming.
The DIY route: Kajabi, Thinkific and LearnWorlds
If you have the time and want to keep costs low, you can build the course yourself on a course platform. You do the curriculum, scripts, recording and editing; the platform hosts it and takes payments.
| Platform | Entry plan | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kajabi | Basic: $143 a month billed annually, or $179 billed monthly | No revenue share; card processing through Kajabi Payments; 30-day money-back guarantee (Kajabi pricing) |
| Thinkific | Start: €79 a month billed annually, or €107 billed monthly, as shown to European visitors | No free plan; 30-day free trial (Thinkific pricing) |
| LearnWorlds | Starter: 44 a month billed annually, or 49 monthly, plus a fee of 5 per course enrollment (shown in euros to European visitors) | Pro Trainer drops the enrollment fee; 30-day trial (LearnWorlds pricing) |
Thinkific and LearnWorlds show prices in your local currency, so check their pricing pages for your region. The real cost of the DIY route is time: planning, scripting, recording and editing a full course often takes months alongside client work.
How to choose
- Do you want to be on camera? If yes, Done For You, Course Crafters or Course Mogul. If not, Entrepedia's studio, or ask COURSE about its options.
- Is demand proven? If not, COURSE's Validate stage or a smaller first offer is safer than a full build.
- Which platform? If you already pay for Kajabi or Thinkific, pick an agency that builds there. If you don't have one, a studio that includes the academy saves a subscription decision.
- What's the budget? COURSE's published Build price ($24,000) is a useful benchmark when you compare quotes from the others.

FAQ
How much does a done-for-you course cost?
Of the agencies here, only COURSE publishes prices: $24,000 for its 90-day Build package, $10,000 for a 30-day validation stage, and from $3,000 a month for ongoing operation. Entrepedia's studio projects run $5,000 to $15,000. Done For You, Course Crafters, Course Mogul and Simple Seven quote per project after a call.
Do I have to film myself for a done-for-you course?
Not always. Done For You and Course Crafters film you, and Course Mogul guides you to record yourself. Entrepedia's studio makes drawn explainers, narrated decks or presenter videos, so filming isn't required.
Is it better to hire a course creation agency or use Kajabi or Thinkific myself?
Hire an agency if your time is better spent with clients and you have the budget; use a platform yourself if you have months to give the project and want to keep costs low. Many agencies, including COURSE and Course Mogul, build on Kajabi, Thinkific or Teachable, so the two routes can combine.
How long does done-for-you course creation take?
COURSE says launches typically take one to four months, and Course Mogul says builds average about 90 days. Entrepedia's studio says a live academy takes weeks and gives you a date on the first call.
Do I own the course an agency creates?
Course Mogul states that clients own the course and keep all earnings. For any agency, confirm in the contract who owns the videos, scripts and materials, and what happens to platform access if you stop paying for a service.
