Hosting a course on UNI costs nothing upfront. You set the price, and you earn a 10% royalty on what the course collects.
What it costs to host
Nothing to start. There is no listing fee and no platform charge before your course earns anything.
Once the course is live and people are registering, you earn a 10% royalty on the course fees collected. On a $200 course with 40 registrations, that is $8,000 collected and $800 to you.
You decide the price, including whether the course is free. A free course earns no royalty.
What UNI covers in return
The 10% is a royalty on top of a platform that carries the cost of running the course:
- The course builder: lessons, videos, quizzes, assignments and a final exam
- Video hosting and transcoding, including the quality ladder learners get
- Enrolment, progress tracking and certificates
- The gradebook, peer review and cohort class codes
- A place in the catalogue
Marketing is separate. There is a free tier and paid options if you want your course promoted beyond the catalogue.
How you get paid
Payouts are arranged by the UNI team. There is no automatic split at checkout and no self-serve payout screen for instructors, so expect to be contacted rather than to find a button in your settings.
If a payment is late or you are unsure what you are owed, write to contact@uni.xyz with the course name.
Live or recorded
Both work. A course can be recorded lessons, live sessions, or a mix. Recorded lessons are the common case because learners can take them at their own pace, and the completion rules are built around them.
Who can host
Mentors apply through the mentor page. Applications are reviewed by hand, and the team looks for real teaching or industry depth in the subject you want to cover.
Before you price it
Courses are new on UNI and the catalogue is small. Look at what is already published before setting a number, and remember the royalty applies to what is actually collected, not to your list price: a discounted registration reduces it proportionally.
