Pricing
Professional course development runs $10,000 to $50,000 and takes weeks. Authoring tools cost $1,000+ a year and still leave all the design to you. CraftMyTraining gives you an expert course-design team on demand — competency analysts, instructional designers, assessment architects and illustrators — and you keep every course you build.
Hire a design agency
$10,000 – $30,000
per course
A full instructional-design build. Rigorous — and the going rate is $5,000 to $50,000 for every finished hour of learning.
Hire a freelance designer
$30 – $150
per hour
Industry benchmarks put design alone at 20 to 80 hours for each finished hour of course. You are still the project manager.
Buy a hosting plan
$29 – $499
per month
Somewhere to sell what you have already designed. The instructional design stays entirely your problem.
CraftMyTraining
$24 once, or from $79
per course / per month
We do the instructional design with you — competencies, lessons, assessments and packaging. Ship a single course for a one-time pass, or subscribe to build continuously. The finished course is always yours to export and keep.
Ranges reflect published industry rates for instructional design and course-hosting platforms. The point is not that an agency is overcharging — good design genuinely takes that long. The point is that most of it no longer has to.
Every plan includes the full design studio. The difference is how much you generate and how many people are building alongside you. Just need to finish one course? Skip ahead to the 24-Hour Access Pass.

Unlimited SCORM and xAPI exports built into your subscription, plus team seats, pooled credits and template governance. The right home for L&D teams and design shops shipping courses to an LMS every month.
Get StudioEither way, your course is yours to keep. Web (HTML) and PDF exports are always included on every plan — the pass and Studio add the standards-compliant SCORM and xAPI packaging that corporate and university platforms require.
Upload slides, manuals, transcripts and images without limit — and write, edit, restructure, save and export as much as you want. None of it touches your credits, on any plan. You only ever spend when AI creates something new for you.
Credits power generation — the moment you ask Craftie to draft a competency map, write a lesson, build an assessment or render a brand-matched illustration. What takes an instructional designer hours, our AI assembles in seconds, mapped to your objectives and ready to review. You see the exact credit cost before you press the button — no surprises, no meter running in the background.
Run low and only generation pauses — nothing else. Your courses, library, edits and exports stay fully open. Unused credits roll over for an extra month, and you can top up any time. Spend on structure and lesson copy first; add AI visuals only where they earn their place, and your credits stretch further.
Start a course, see what comes out, and pick a plan once you know it fits. Your first course is free — no card required.
