Graphy — Unacademy’s course OS, revenue share, and why it is not a bio tool

Graphy is an online business / LMS platform used heavily by Indian educators. Parentage matters: Unacademy-scale infrastructure is the trust story Graphy sells against a random WordPress plugin.

You get a hosted course site, content hosting, live class tooling, checkout aimed at India (UPI via Graphy’s payment story / Razorpay-class gateways), and — on higher commercial packages — branded Android/iOS apps. That is Stan Store’s “course builder” taken seriously.

It is not ManyChat, not Metricool, and not SuperKreator. Those comparisons only appear because all of them invoice “creators.”

You build offerings (recorded courses, cohorts, digital bundles), point a domain at Graphy, and send learners to checkout. Graphy handles access after payment. Live class concurrency, email marketing caps, and mobile apps depend on the commercial package you are on.

Enrollment is gated through Graphy’s checkout. Official help states you cannot enroll learners from the back end or via third-party tools. That is a deliberate lock-in: Graphy wants to be the system of record for the student.

Payments for Indian creators: Graphy’s help article on revenue share (updated March 2025) says the creator earns amount paid − payment gateway charges − Graphy revenue share. Example they publish: on a ₹1,000 sale, gateway ₹23.6, revenue share + GST ₹118, creator ₹858.4. If share would be under ₹10, they charge flat ₹10 + GST.

What Graphy is hired to do:

• Course websites and content hosting
• Live classes / webinars
• Checkout with India methods (UPI is a reason people stay)
• DRM / content protection (a major “why Graphy not Drive links” argument)
• Learner mobile apps on higher packages
• Marketing email and WhatsApp-ish distribution as packaged add-ons
• AI site/page helpers on newer marketing grids

What it is not hired to do:

• Instagram comment-to-DM as a core loop
• Multi-brand social analytics
• A pretty six-button bio

Serious teachers, working coaches with cohorts, UPSC/finance/fitness educators who need apps and protection, and anyone whose support load is “where is lecture 14?” not “where is my PDF?”

Hobby sellers of a single Notion template will overpay Graphy in both attention and revenue share.

Treat Graphy pricing as contract-shaped, not tweet-shaped.

Official help (Indian creators, March 2025 article):

• Revenue share 10% + GST, or ₹10, whichever is higher, per transaction
• One-time onboarding fee of ₹19,999 listed in that same article
• Gateway charges extra (Razorpay / Stripe / Graphy PG)
• Custom gateway setups can be invoiced monthly for the share

Public 2026 marketing (third-party captures of graphy.com/pricing) has listed annual Launch ₹24,999, Grow ₹49,999, Rise ₹99,999 with declining transaction percentages (10% / 7.5% / 5% in those roundups). We could not freeze that grid from Graphy’s site at write time (the pricing URL did not return a stable public document). Do not budget off a blog table. Open Graphy’s current pricing and the PDF/contract they send you.

GST at 18% on software invoices is the usual India extra unless your accountant says otherwise.

• Actual LMS, not a file drop.
• India payments as a native concern.
• Unacademy-adjacent trust for some student segments.
• Apps and DRM when piracy is a real P&L line.
• Live class as a product, not a Zoom link in a Google Doc.

• Revenue share + onboarding can dwarf SuperKreator-style file selling.
• You cannot silently enroll people from another tool (official help).
• Annual / sales-led packaging is heavier than a $0 bio.
• Wrong tool for AutoDM and bio. You will still want a storefront in front of the campus.
• Pricing pages and help articles have not always told the same story — read both.

• Classplus — another India “teacher app” vendor (different contract; not reviewed in full here).
• Teachable / Kajabi / Thinkific — global LMS, weaker UPI.
• Superprofile — courses as SKUs without Graphy-scale LMS.
• SuperKreator — sell the thing; do not host the semester.
• YouTube + SuperKreator — dirty but real for people who do not need DRM.

Graphy wins campus, DRM, apps, live class, student system of record.

SuperKreator wins speed to a public username, simple digital delivery, Instagram-adjacent selling, and not taking LMS revenue share on a PDF.

They are complements. SuperKreator can be the Instagram door; Graphy can be the building behind it. Replacing one with the other is a category error.

Choose Graphy when learners need a product that behaves like school, when you will sign their pricing contract with eyes open on share + onboarding, and when piracy or apps are actual requirements.

Consider SuperKreator when you are selling a file, a short workshop, or a 1:1 call, and the “LMS” would be a costume. Use it in front of Graphy when Instagram is how students arrive.
