RacingOwl

Your site. Your learners. Your money.

Every other place you can teach online keeps something back. YouTube keeps the audience. Udemy keeps the customer and most of the price. A WhatsApp group keeps nothing but gives you nothing either. RacingOwl was built so that the person doing the teaching owns all three.

Your site

You get an address of your own — yourname.racingowl.com — with your logo, your colours and your name on every page. Learners who sign up are signing up with you. Your site’s data is separated from every other site at the database level, not just hidden in the screens.

There is nothing to host, configure or install. Pick a name and it exists.

Your learners

On YouTube you see a view count. On RacingOwl you see people. Every learner has a name, a join date, how many courses they are in, a progress figure and a last-active date. A chart shows which lesson learners give up at across each course. You can post a site-wide announcement on your Topics page. You can open a discussion on a course and answer questions in it.

A learner who buys your course is your learner, not the platform’s. If they come back for your next course, that is your relationship, not a recommendation algorithm’s.

Your money

Set a price per course, or one monthly membership for everything on your site. Learners pay on your site. Razorpay routes the money straight to your bank account. RacingOwl does not touch it and does not take a share of it.

The only deduction is Razorpay’s fee on each payment and the GST on it — currently 2% plus GST, 2.36% in all, set by Razorpay. RacingOwl takes nothing.

Launch offer: RacingOwl pays the Razorpay fee on your refunds, until 19 April 2027. Razorpay keeps its fee (about 2.36% — ₹23.60 on every ₹1,000) when a payment is refunded, and your learner still gets back everything they paid. As a launch offer, RacingOwl pays that fee for you on every refund you issue until 19 April 2027. It is a launch offer only: from 20 April 2027, the fee on a refund is yours, and it is taken from your earnings.

You pay RacingOwl one subscription to run the site, from ₹499 a month plus GST. That is separate from what you charge, and it does not scale with your sales.

What this means in practice

A yoga teacher with 40 students paying ₹300 a month for a membership collects ₹12,000 a month. Her RacingOwl subscription on the Starter plan is ₹499 plus GST. Razorpay’s fee and its GST, currently 2.36%, come off each payment. Everything else lands in her bank account.

On YouTube, 40 viewers earn nothing at all.

Is it for me? Who RacingOwl is for, and who it isn’t.

We would rather tell you now than have you find out after signing up.

RacingOwl is for you if

  • You already teach something, anything, and you are running it on WhatsApp, GPay and a meeting link.
  • You have somewhere between one and a few dozen learners at a time, and you know most of their names.
  • You want to be paid on time without asking.
  • You want your own place, yourname.racingowl.com, and not only a listing on someone else’s marketplace.
  • You teach a hobby, a craft, a language, an instrument, cooking, yoga, drawing, coding, tuition. If it can be learned, it can be taught here. What you can teach →

RacingOwl is not for you if

  • You want a platform to find students for you. We don’t. Nobody does, whatever they say: the students who find you are the ones you already reached. What we do is make sure that when one arrives, you are paid, and they can join.
  • You run a coaching institute with batches of hundreds, mock tests, ranks and a sales team. There are tools built for that. This isn’t one.
  • You want an app on the Play Store with your name on it. We give you a website. It works on every phone and can be added to the home screen as the RacingOwl app, with nothing to install and no permissions to grant — why that is better.
  • You want to teach for free to as many people as possible. YouTube is better at that than we will ever be.
  • You teach five hundred people at once and need a stream with polls and a moderated chat. That is a broadcast, and we are not the tool for it today. A class is not a broadcast →

On the money, plainly

RacingOwl takes no share of what your learners pay you. Your fees go from the learner to your bank account, whether the learner is in your town or abroad paying with a card issued where they live. The payment gateway charges its own fee on each transaction, as it does everywhere. When you refund a learner, that fee is not given back — and as a launch offer RacingOwl pays it for you until 19 April 2027. From 20 April 2027 it is yours.

You pay us a monthly subscription, from ₹499, and the Starter plan starts with 60 days free. Nothing is charged until they are up. Ten, five and three days before that, we write to you with what your site has earned through it, net of refunds, so you know exactly what you are deciding.

If you are earning less than the plan costs, the free days are there to find out whether this works for you before it costs you anything.

Questions people ask first

Do you find students for me?
No. We make sure the ones who find you can pay and join. Your reach is your own work: your classes, your WhatsApp groups, your YouTube channel, the notice at the local shop. We do not promise to grow it, because nobody honestly can.
Do I need to record videos?
No. You can run entirely live classes and never upload a video. Or add recordings so a learner who missed a class can catch up. Or sell a recorded course on its own. All three work.
My learners are not very technical. Will they manage?
They open a link, sign in once, and press Join. If they can use WhatsApp, they can use this. The invitation to each class arrives by email with a calendar entry, and with the WhatsApp alerts add-on a reminder arrives on WhatsApp an hour before.
What happens to my Google Meet or Zoom?
Nothing. You keep using it. RacingOwl sits in front of it: it decides who gets the link, and remembers who joined.
What do you take from my fees?
Nothing. Fees go from your learner to your bank account through Razorpay, which charges its own fee on each transaction, as it does everywhere. You pay RacingOwl a monthly subscription to run the site. Starter, Growth and Professional start with a 60-day free trial, and nothing is charged until it ends.
My learners live outside India. Can they pay?
Yes. They pay on your site with a card issued where they live. Your price stays in rupees, their bank converts it, and the money reaches your bank account in rupees.
What if I earn nothing during the free period?
Then you will know before it costs you anything. Ten, five and three days before the free period ends, we write to you with what your site earned during it, net of refunds. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
Can I teach in Tamil, Hindi, or any other language?
Yes. The product itself is in English; your classes and your course material are in whatever language you teach in. The guide for trainers is in English and nine Indian languages.
Is it only for “education”?
No. Bead-making, sushi, Carnatic vocal, spreadsheet formulas, kolam, Python. Teach it. Learn it.
