The same Appy Pie editor, the same 60-second AI draft, six different course business shapes. Each build below uses a different combination of toggles inside Settings, the Curriculum panel and the Monetize tab.
Multi-instructor marketplace where individual teachers list courses, students discover by category, and Appy Pie handles revenue splits and reviews automatically.
Time-bound cohorts with structured multi-week tracks, peer discussion rooms and AI-graded short-answer assignments. Ideal for academic-leaning programs and corporate training cohorts.
Recurring-billing membership with daily streaks, push reminders and a progressively unlocked content library. Perfect for fitness, wellness and meditation creators.
1-on-1 coaching session booking combined with weekly drip lessons, AI follow-up assistant and homework assignments graded inside the Submissions queue.
A fully proprietary-looking course platform on your own custom domain, your Apple Developer team ID and your Google Play console identity. No Appy Pie branding anywhere.
Intensive multi-week bootcamp format with live Q&A, weekly assignments, AI-graded short-answer responses, cohort leaderboards and a discussion room per cohort.
Most coaches and creators finish their module outline, video uploads and Stripe checkout flow in a single afternoon. Here is what happens inside the Appy Pie editor at each stage.
Sign up free at the Appy Pie App Builder, pick the Online Course or Education template from the template gallery, and enter your business name. The name becomes your app name across iOS, Android and the web portal.
Inside the Appy Pie editor, the left Pages panel lists every screen, and the Features library on the right lets you add Video Lessons, Audio, Quiz, Forms, Stripe Payment, Push Notifications and Loyalty. Click any feature to drop it on a Page and configure it.
Scan the in-editor QR code to live-preview the app on your iPhone or Android device. When you are ready, run the Publish wizard. Appy Pie’s team helps with App Store and Google Play submission and approval typically lands in 24-48 hours.
Appy Pie’s AI Course Creator runs on the New Project screen. You type your course topic, audience and outcome in the Brief field, and Appy Pie scaffolds the curriculum, lesson placeholders, starter quizzes, drip rules and a Stripe checkout flow inside the editor. Every output lands in real Appy Pie blocks you edit.
No coding, no template-shopping, no agency timeline. The same draft generates in under 60 seconds and compiles to native Android and iOS automatically.
Every item lands inside the same Appy Pie editor blocks you would use manually. Rename, reorder, delete or replace any of it before you publish.
Every AI module ships free with Appy Pie’s course app maker. No separate ChatGPT subscription, no copy-paste from another tool, no per-question pricing. They run on your video transcripts and lesson notes.
Open any Lesson block in the Appy Pie editor, click the Quiz tab and hit Generate from transcript. Appy Pie’s AI reads the auto-written transcript and drafts 5 to 20 multiple-choice questions inside the same block. Edit, swap or accept each question without leaving the editor.
From the Curriculum panel, right-click any module and pick Generate End-of-Module Test. Appy Pie pulls the transcript and quiz history of every lesson in that module, drafts a graded test with multiple-choice and short-answer items, and adds it as the module’s final lesson with a configurable timer.
Open the Publish wizard in the Appy Pie editor and click Generate icon. The AI drafts an App Store-compliant icon set in every required size, a matching splash screen, and theme-color tokens that sync across the iOS and Android builds. No designer needed for launch.
In the Appy Pie Submissions queue, paste your rubric once and AI grading scores every short-answer response, flags uncertain ones for your review with a confidence score, and pre-writes individualized feedback you can edit before sending. You spend hours less per cohort.
From the Appy Pie New Project screen, the Outline mode takes your topic and audience and drops a 6 to 12 module curriculum into the Curriculum rail, with lesson titles, estimated durations, a suggested format mix per lesson and a final-project recommendation that lands as the final module.
Drop a video into any Appy Pie Lesson block and the transcription engine starts on upload. The transcript appears in the lesson’s Transcript tab with timestamps, captions are baked into the player in 30+ languages, and the same transcript becomes the input for the AI Quiz Generator one tab over.
Every module ships configured for course-led businesses. Video, drip, payments, member tiers, AI grading, push and live Q&A all live inside the Appy Pie editor.
Drop a video into any Lesson block. Appy Pie transcodes for adaptive streaming, hosts on its own CDN, writes timestamped captions, wires iOS Picture-in-Picture and Android floating window, and toggles Widevine + FairPlay DRM. No Vimeo or Wistia subscription. No bandwidth meter on your editor.
Set per-cohort start dates and time-based release rules. Modules unlock weekly without manual nudges to your students.
Quiz block on every lesson, AI test generator in Module settings, AI grading inside the Submissions queue. All free with the editor.
The Publish wizard auto-drafts your app title, subtitle, keyword field, full description, screenshots and the App Store privacy nutrition label. Approve in one click, no copywriting required.
Connect Stripe or PayPal once. One-time, recurring and per-cohort pricing tiers all toggle on from the same panel.
Define tiers (Bronze, Gold, VIP) inside the Membership panel. Lock modules per tier with a single dropdown on the Lesson block.
Daily streak push and weekly drop alerts queue automatically. Segment by cohort, fit profile or last-active timestamp.
Per-module discussion rooms and live Q&A links sit in the Community tab. Embed Zoom, Whereby, or Appy Pie’s native video room.
Toggle Marketplace mode to add instructor onboarding, Stripe Connect revenue splits and category-driven course discovery.
Toggle the White-Label tier and ship under your own custom domain, your Apple Developer ID and your Google Play console.
One toggle in the Appy Pie editor’s Settings → Branding panel transforms a default Appy Pie-published course app into a fully proprietary platform under your domain, your developer accounts and your visual identity.
Out of the box, every published course app shows Appy Pie’s branding on the splash, in emails and on the share card.
Open Settings → Branding inside the Appy Pie editor and toggle White-Label Mode.
Course app, web portal, email sender and share card all carry only your brand. Looks fully proprietary to your students.
Your students’ card data, progress records, quiz answers and submission history live inside the same hardened Appy Pie infrastructure that runs apps for healthcare, fintech and government clients. There is no separate “course tier” with weaker controls.
Independently audited information security management system covering people, processes and technology across the Appy Pie platform.
Annual SOC 2 Type II audit covering security, availability, processing integrity and confidentiality across operating effectiveness.
Right-to-erasure, data export on demand, signed processor agreements and lawful-basis tracking. EU and UK students covered.

I taught yoga in a converted barn in Bend, Oregon for eight years. I had no developer, no $40k budget, and a waitlist of 200 people. I described my course to Appy Pie’s AI on a Monday afternoon. By Wednesday morning the iOS and Android apps were both live, and I had 137 paying members in the first week.
Maya opens the New Project screen and types her one-line course brief.
The AI scaffolds 6 modules. She drops in her video flows and breathwork audio.
She runs the Publish wizard. Stripe is connected. Apple and Google reviews kick off.
Both apps approved. She emails her waitlist and the first cohort signs up that day.
Appy Pie is not the right answer for every course creator. Here is how to tell.
Real questions from solo coaches, cohort leaders, course creators and multi-instructor marketplace owners.
Speed, native output, AI tools that actually save grading time, and a security posture (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA-ready) that Stripe and PayPal already trust.
Describe your course in the Appy Pie New Project screen. The AI scaffolds your modules, lessons and quizzes. You ship to iOS and Android by Monday morning.
