What you actually get with OpenMirai
02
Block-based pricing that grows with you
Blocks create a fairer scaling story: customers pay for real platform usage and can top up blocks instead of jumping into expensive fixed tiers too early
03
0% platform fee from day one
0% platform-fee positioning from the start is easier for course sellers to trust than platforms that remove fees only after an upgrade or use marketplace revenue share
04
Academy-first, end to end
OpenMirai is academy-first: site, courses, learner management, payments, receipts, certificates, analytics, content protection, and multi-language support are connected in one flow

0% platform fee / no revenue shareUdemy uses revenue share: 97% for instructor-promotion sales and 37% for marketplace sales
0% fee without upgrading to high tierThere is no owned-academy 0% fee tier; Udemy remains marketplace revenue share
Direct pricing control

Block-based pay-as-you-grow cost controlNot a block-based owned academy pricing model
Unlimited learners / studentsUdemy can reach many marketplace learners, but they learn inside Udemy, not inside your owned academy relationship

No learner-seat growth anxietyMarketplace reach can be large, but the instructor does not own the learner platform, checkout, or brand experience

Block add-ons instead of forced tier jumpsNot available; Udemy is marketplace revenue share, not flexible usage blocks
