Use case
Education products rarely lose on feature count. They lose on who holds the student list. On someone else's platform, your students are their asset.
On a course marketplace you cannot see or export contact details, and re-enrolment depends on their notifications.
One tool for live classes, another for the course library, and students log into both.
Answers scatter across chat groups. The same question gets asked monthly and new students never see the history.
DTok ships twelve modules. These are the ones doing the heavy lifting here.
RTMP streaming, interactive chat, questions, replay
Unlock per lesson, per course or by membership, with previews
Tiers, validity periods, entitlement configuration
One-to-one Q&A and class groups, retained in the system
| Course marketplace SaaS | Fastest to start, but the commission never stops, the student data never leaves, and the styling never changes. |
| A hosted teaching platform | Same trade. Past a certain scale the commission clearly exceeds what self-hosting would have cost. |
| Commission a custom build | Education requirements fragment quickly, and every change is billed again. |
| DTok | One-time purchase, source is yours, one codebase across six platforms, self-hosted |
Both. Live classes stream over RTMP and can produce a replay; recorded courses are paid content. They share one membership and unlock system.
The client can watermark and detect screen recording, but nothing stops someone pointing a camera at the screen — treat any vendor promising otherwise with suspicion. Watermark traceability is what actually works in practice.
On your servers. That is the point of self-hosting: we neither touch nor hold your student data.
Leave a way to reach you and we will come to you. Your submission is private — never published.
