About

Prolaud is a web-based course and learning platform for teachers, tutors, coaches, training providers, and independent course creators. It combines a branded academy site and storefront with tools to build and deliver online courses, sell cohort programs, memberships, downloads, and one-to-one sessions, and manage learners. Educators can host live classes, provide recorded lessons, set quizzes and assignments, track course activity, and issue completion certificates. Built-in communities include posts, messaging, challenges, XP, and leaderboards to support interaction between classes. The platform also provides checkout through a connected Stripe or Razorpay account, plus learner records, basic marketing features, and course analytics. Prolaud is designed for educators and academies that want to deliver instruction and sell learning products from their own academy site, rather than list courses in a shared marketplace.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • See below.
  • We completed their 14 day free trial. We liked many aspects of the offering and felt it offered a lot of customization to meet our needs and it was our intention to sign up for their service.
  • Crowdstack is a very easy to use platform. It provides great support to engage with customers and give you a manageable service to track their needs.

Cons

  • See overall.
  • Their pricing model is way too rigid. The Foundation plan for $399/mo offered nearly everything we were looking for. The only problem was that they use a lot of strange terms on their pages...fortunately, they offer a "custom wording" feature that allows you to change some of those words. Unfortunately, that was the only feature we required from the Complete plan, for which our custom pricing was offered at $999/mo. We didn't require any of the other features included with the Complete plan and couldn't justify $600/mo more for that plan just for the custom wording feature. We gave them several chances to offer a more reasonable pricing solution and win our business. Instead, they remained inflexible. Trust me, when a company that is trying to secure long-term subscriptions is this inflexible at the beginning, you don't want to work with them. Imagine months down the road when you have thousands of users and find out you need something from Crowdstack...how inflexible do you think they're going to be then? My recommendation is to find a more flexible community building solution, like Tribe or the many other community building solutions now available.
  • Overall its an outstanding platform customer engagement tool.
