What is Owwlish?

Owwlish is an online course platform that adds courses directly to an existing website instead of sending learners to a separate hosted site. The company describes it as a way to build and sell courses from your own website, and it names Wix, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Duda, Weebly, WordPress and custom HTML among the supported platforms.

The product was started by Kevin and Alyssa, two course creators who said the learning management systems they reviewed fell short of what they wanted for their own courses. They built Owwlish as their own course platform, and they state that they use it for their online courses today.

Three ideas run through the product pitch: learners do not need a subdomain, creators are not locked into one website platform, and the builder is meant to make modules, lessons, video and quizzes easy to organize.

How does Owwlish work?

Setup follows three steps described on the site. A creator makes an Owwlish account and starts customizing a sample course. Next, a few lines of code go into the site footer, and the company says it will show exactly how. Finally, the creator copies and pastes code into the page where the course should appear.

Because the course is added with code rather than hosted on a separate domain, learners take it inside the creator's own site. The company says this keeps branding consistent and gives learners a smoother onboarding.

Owwlish calls itself platform agnostic. A course can move from one website platform to another, for example from WordPress to Squarespace, or run on both sites at once. Basic allows courses on 1 site, and Pro allows 3 sites. Payments are handled through Stripe.

Key features of Owwlish

The course builder organizes content into modules and lessons with video uploads and rich text. Quizzes and surveys are built in, with analytics to track each learner's progress. Video is hosted in high definition and protected to discourage downloading and sharing, and the player can also embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Amazon S3 or any public link.

On the selling side, Owwlish accepts payments through Stripe in more than 135 currencies and supports payment plans so learners can pay in installments. A Zapier integration can enroll learners from other platforms, take payments through other gateways and pass new learners to a newsletter service.

Learner tracking produces progress reports, and an AI Summarize Video button summarizes or transcribes course videos. Two items are not finished: Certificates of Completion are marked as built and being tested, and online learning communities are listed as on the roadmap.

Pros & Cons

  • Both plans include unlimited modules, lessons, quizzes and surveys.
  • Protected HD video hosting, plus embedding from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia and Amazon S3.
  • Pro plan lists zero added transaction fees and no Owwlish branding on the course page.

Cons

  • Basic is limited to 1 course, 100 active learners and 1 site, and it shows Powered by Owwlish branding.
  • Basic lists 5% added transaction fees, which seems to conflict with the FAQ saying no fees are added beyond Stripe.
  • Annual billing cannot be chosen at signup, and users must contact the company to switch.
  • Certificates of Completion are still being tested and online communities are only on the roadmap.
