Ruzuku keeps an online course simple. Lessons come with discussions and course forums, live sessions are built into every plan, cohorts run on a calendar with a seat limit, and Ruzuku's own team answers your learners' technical questions by email. There is a free plan for up to 5 students. Scholaxy covers more of the school around the course: a website builder, email and messenger campaigns, a CRM and a support inbox, with Latin American payment gateways.

Ruzuku fits better if:
• you want one sales page per course and a classroom, not a website and a marketing system
• discussion is the heart of your course: lesson discussions, course forums and direct messages come on every plan, and you can require a comment before a lesson counts as done
• you would rather not answer login and video questions yourself: Ruzuku's team answers learners by email, on every plan, Free included
• you are starting with a handful of students: the free plan covers 5
Scholaxy fits better if:
• you need a full website: 30+ blocks, landing pages, A/B tests and popups. On Ruzuku you get a sales page per course, and the storefront and custom domain come with Pro
• your marketing runs inside the platform: email campaigns, Telegram, WhatsApp and SMS, and a visual automation builder. Ruzuku passes course events to other tools through Zapier
• your quizzes need more than two question types: Scholaxy has 10, with a timer and attempt limits
• you sell in Latin America: Mercado Pago, PagBank and EBANX on your own accounts. Ruzuku takes Stripe and PayPal only
• you want certificates on your first plan; on Ruzuku they come with Pro
