Moving from Podia to Facet

Podia emails you a CSV of your contacts. Contacts and student access come over by CSV; the course is rebuilt from a simple list of modules, lessons and video links.

Start your 30-day free trial Card required. No charge until the 30-day trial ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing.

The safe order

  1. Pick one course to move first and leave the rest on Podia.
  2. In Facet, open Settings → Import. Rebuild that course from a manifest, then import its students' access, then your contacts. Every import runs as a dry run first and can be rolled back.
  3. Check the course the way a student will see it before you tell anyone.
  4. Let the subscriptions you already have on Podia run out instead of cancelling them early. Move the next course when you're ready, and cancel Podia last.

Export your data from Podia

These steps were checked on October 30, 2026 against Podia's own help articles, linked below. Menus change, so if a button has moved, follow the article.

  1. In Podia, open Audience.
  2. Select the contacts you want (or Select All), then use Actions to export them. Podia emails the CSV.
  3. For one course's students, open Products, use the course's "..." menu and choose Export customers. That list covers active customers only.

We couldn't find a Podia help article on exporting course content or videos. Save your lesson text and download your own video files before you cancel.

Podia's own help articles

What moves to Facet and what doesn't

This list comes from what Facet's importers do today. Nothing is read out of a Podia course file.

  • Contacts Moves

    Name and email from your CSV. Duplicates merge, and anyone already on your Facet list keeps their current status.

  • Unsubscribes Moves

    Podia's export has a subscription status column. Check how it reads in the dry run, and remove anyone you know has opted out before you import.

  • Tags Doesn't move

    Podia's export has no tags, so plan to re-tag after you import.

  • Student access Partly

    From each product's Export customers list, one course at a time (active customers only). Choose the matching Facet course when you import.

  • Course outline Partly

    Modules and lessons come from a simple manifest (a CSV you write), up to 200 modules and lessons per import. The course lands as a draft.

  • Videos Partly

    On Studio and Creator, Facet fetches each video from the link in your manifest. It has to be a link Facet can reach, so download your videos from Podia first and host them somewhere reachable.

  • Paid subscriptions Partly

    Not a file import. If your students pay through your own Stripe account, connect that account in Facet and adopt the active subscriptions. Past sales history stays behind.

  • Quizzes, drip schedules, downloads Doesn't move

    Not in the manifest. Rebuild them in Facet's course builder.

  • Passwords, progress and more Doesn't move

    Passwords, student progress, comments, certificates, saved cards, page designs, automations and email sequences stay behind.

Imports preserve consent: contacts who unsubscribed on your old platform arrive unsubscribed here and are never re-mailable by accident.

What would Creator or Studio cost you?

Type what you pay your current platform and what you sell in a month. Nothing is sent anywhere and there's no email to hand over.

On these numbers you pay 149.00 US dollars a month today. The same month on Facet would cost 39.00 US dollars on Creator, with no platform fee on 1,000.00 US dollars of sales, or 45.00 US dollars on Studio.

What customers pay you in a month before tax, in your selected currency.

One month, side by side

What you pay today
149.00 US dollars
Creator 39.00 US dollars plan + 0.00 US dollars platform fee
39.00 US dollars
Studio 15.00 US dollars plan + 30.00 US dollars platform fee

Start with Creator
  • Creator takes no platform fee. Studio takes 3% of your sales, never more than 99.00 US dollars a month.
  • Card processing fees are separate. Stripe charges them on any platform, so they are left out of both sides.
  • Facet prices checked on October 30, 2026. Monthly billing; annual billing costs less.
