Preserve the full cost picture: Mover carries a 5% Podia transaction fee on top of the subscription, Shaker and Earthquaker carry no Podia transaction fee, and all plans incur the payment processor's standard fee (quoted at 2.9% + $0.30, varying by location). Note that email subscribers are capped by plan (100/500/1,000) with paid add-ons above the cap, and that the trial does not require a credit card. Do not present Podia as suitable for large companies or enterprises, and flag independent review themes around inconsistent customer service, sales-page customization limits, certificate-related progress tracking, and occasional embedded-checkout redirects as directional rather than confirmed. Country-level availability is unknown; do not guess.
