Sensei Factory is for teachers, coaches and experts who want to sell a video course without paying Kajabi-sized monthly fees. It's free with a 10% cut per sale, or $19 a month with no cut. Pro pays for itself once you sell about $190 a month.
Students pay by card through Stripe, or by M-Pesa in Kenya, and creators get paid out the same way. Fans can share referral links and earn commission as affiliates. Video is stored on Cloudflare R2 and served through a signed edge worker.
The goal is that a teacher goes from idea to a published, paid course quickly, and a student goes from a link to lesson one in under two minutes. Try it at senseifactory.com.
