Zanfia

What Zanfia is

Zanfia is a hosted platform for creators, course sellers and coaches who want to run an online business from one place. The footer calls it "the AI-first sales platform for creators" and says you can build, sell and grow under your own brand. Its pitch is a change of workflow rather than a new editor: "Tell Zanfia what to build, by chat or out loud." An AI team then sets up the course, the community and the checkout, "then keeps working inside the business while you create". The homepage line is "One person, running a full company." The homepage sums up the scope as "products, store, pages, funnels, email, social media, and community", run "by conversation with our assistant or your own agent (Claude, Codex, ChatGPT)." A new account starts with a 14-day trial, no credit card and an instant start.

What you build and how

Courses. The homepage lists a Netflix-style player, chapters, quizzes, certificates, and evergreen or cohort courses. A blog page on course platforms says Zanfia gives you an AI team that runs the business, a checkout built to sell with order bumps and installments, native video hosting and custom domain control. Another blog page lists full student progress tracking. The company is candid about the limits here: it concedes that the course tooling is simpler than specialist LMS tools, so it can feel template-driven if you need a premium student experience. Treat Zanfia as a place to sell and run courses next to everything else, not as a deep authoring system.

Pages and funnels. The AI Page Builder is the most concrete no-code feature on the site. Its headline is "Prompt and publish. No block-shuffling." You describe a page and the Assistant generates it. The homepage says that in 15 seconds you have a landing page with copy, a sign-up form and email automation wired up, "with zero lines of code". It can generate a landing page, sales page or upsell page from a single sentence, and you change it in plain English, for example "make the headline punchier". Built-in forms, email automation and analytics are included, which the site sets against "Zapier glue".

Checkout. The homepage says you get a ready, secure checkout: send the link to your audience and collect payments "straight to your own payment account". The checkout supports order bumps and installments. Zanfia charges 0% platform transaction fees, so only the payment processor takes a cut. The company says a processor like Stripe still charges roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US.

Community and memberships. The homepage describes paid memberships with channels, threads and leaderboards, on the web and in the mobile app. The community is built in, and the plan-dependent AI agent for it writes from your own content, with everything it publishes labeled as AI. The homepage describes a Community Manager that answers students 24/7 and an AI-written digest that brings quiet members back. For recurring revenue, a built-in paid newsletter product type sits alongside courses and community in the same checkout. A CEO quoted on the site says that without Zanfia, developing a paid newsletter and community would be much harder.

Video. Upload raw footage and, the homepage says, Zanfia generates transcripts, splits the video into chapters, writes student notes and builds knowledge-check quizzes. Transcripts are searchable across the whole catalog, and quiz questions are server-graded with pass thresholds you set. Downloads (e-books, presets, templates), services and bookings with scheduling, and a storefront on your own domain sit beside the courses.

The AI team. The homepage lists 5 specialists. The Copywriter writes sales pages, emails and product descriptions in your voice. The Analyst watches every funnel and checkout, reports MRR and flags what stalls. The Marketer recovers carts, schedules campaigns and chases every warm lead. The Community Manager answers students 24/7, citing your own course material. Finance issues invoices, tracks revenue and reconciles every payout. The site says everything sensitive waits for your one-click approval, and you can also speak an instruction, such as changing a price and creating a discount code, instead of opening menus.

Connecting your own AI. The homepage describes "a full API, a CLI, and a native MCP endpoint" for managing products, orders and content from Claude, Cursor or your own scripts, with no browser required. The community is agent-native too: a member's own assistant can search your course, summarize the week's threads and ask questions inside your space. A blog page says MCP access is plan-dependent and starts on the Pro plan. The core Assistant is on every plan, with the full Assistant on higher tiers.

Mobile app and live activity. Customers get what they bought in the Zanfia app: courses with video, audio and progress, the community feed and chat, and push notifications, with login by e-mail alone. For the creator, Live Activity shows each purchase, order bump and recovered cart as it happens. Payouts go to your own Stripe account, daily according to the homepage.

The evidence from the pages

Plans are published on the company's blog pages as of August 2026. Starter is $39 per month or $31 per month billed annually. Growth is $79 per month or $63 billed annually. Pro is $149 per month or $119 billed annually, and Scale is $249 per month or $199 billed annually. Higher tiers scale the AI team's monthly workload and add more advanced capabilities. Custom domains, order bumps, the full AI Assistant, the MCP endpoint and white-label AI depend on the plan, and the company tells readers to check its pricing page.

The company's own cost table for a creator with $5,000 a month in revenue shows Starter billed annually at a $31 monthly fee with $0 in transaction fees, which it totals as $372 a year. That table is the company's arithmetic, so redo it with the plan you would actually pick. Every plan carries a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The site is explicit that there is no permanent free plan: after the trial, a paid plan is required. Platform transaction fees are 0% on every plan. Support options listed in the footer are a help center and email support, and a Zanfia community is marked "Soon". The product menu also lists Live Activity and a Changelog.

Who it suits and who it does not

Zanfia suits a solo creator who would rather describe the business than configure it: a course seller who wants the course, a sales page, a checkout with order bumps, a community and a paid newsletter under one subscription and no cut of sales. It also suits someone who likes the idea of AI specialists that propose actions for approval, and a tech-comfortable operator who wants to connect their own assistants through the MCP endpoint on Pro.

It suits a course business that depends on deep instructional design less well, given the company's own caveat about template-driven course tooling. There is no free plan to test indefinitely, and several useful features, from custom domains to order bumps and the MCP endpoint, depend on the plan you pay for. A larger team with governance needs will find the product framed squarely around one creator running a business.
