Built for schools that have outgrown percentage platforms
Courstore isn't for everyone. Here's who gets the most out of it — and when it's worth staying on 1app.
You sell regularly, not one-off
Every month brings new cohorts. On a percentage, your success = a growing bill to the platform; on a fixed price — a growing margin. From ~570 000 ₸/mo in turnover, the fixed price is already cheaper than 4%.
You build a funnel with free products
Lead magnets, marathons, trial lessons. With us a free student is free; on a platform that charges per enrollment, a funnel of 1,000 leads costs 200 000 ₸ before the first sale.
You operate by the book
A legal entity, taxes, receipts. Auto-fiscalization out of the box, closing documents, exports — no extra integrations and no manual cashier.
You grow the school's brand, not the platform's
A school on your own domain or subdomain, your logo, certificates with your signature — not the platform's address and brand.
When 1app may be a better fit
If you're just testing a niche on a zero budget and are willing to give up 4% of sales — a 0 ₸ entry is convenient. If a native app in the stores with screen-recording blocking is already critical to you today — 1app has it out of the box — our shared app is included in the plan, and a branded one we build to order. If you sell tickets to offline events and physical goods alongside courses — their module can do that. They also have an AI assistant inside lessons and detailed video analytics per student. These are real strengths, and we don't deny them. But schools that sell regularly and want a fixed cost usually hit the ceiling of the percentage model fast — and that's when they move to us.
Two platforms from Kazakhstan — a different philosophy of money
Both platforms were built in Kazakhstan and both handle the essentials: courses, taking payments via Kaspi, homework and analytics. The difference is in the philosophy of money and the maturity of the tools.
1app earns a percentage of your turnover: the start is free, but every sale, every student is a payment to the platform, and taking money depends on your internal wallet balance.
Courstore earns from subscriptions: the price is fixed, the commission is symbolic (0.1%), and it's in our interest for you to sell more — not to pay more.
The second difference is completeness today: campaigns, certificates, content dripGradual lesson release: by date, N days after the start, sequentially, or after completing the previous lesson., analytics integrations work with us right now, not sitting in a "Coming soon" section. Below — line by line.
Line-by-line comparison
What to choose
It all comes down to one question: how you want to pay for your platform.
A share of your success, or a fixed price? 1app is an easy entry point for testing a niche: zero at the start, a percentage later. Courstore is a platform for schools that sell regularly: a fixed price, official payments, automatic receipts and mature marketing tools available today, not "Coming soon".
Courstore Pro vs 1app White Label
For schools that need their own brand
Pro- Your own domain
- Subdomain right away
- API
- Your own WhatsApp
If your goal is a school under your own brand on the web, Pro covers it for 45 600 ₸/mo: 12× cheaper than the first year of White Label. But if what you need is specifically a native app in the stores under your own name — that's an honest strength of 1app, and then compare the total cost of ownership: 6.6M ₸ in the first year and 3.6M ₸ every year after.
Let's do the math on your turnover
How much the platform takes at different sales volumes — on the Start plan at 22 800 ₸/mo versus 1app's 4%.
| Monthly turnover | 1app — 4% | Courstore Start (22 800 ₸/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 000 ₸ | 20 000 ₸/mo | 22 800 ₸/mo |
| 1 000 000 ₸ | 40 000 ₸/mo | 22 800 ₸/mo |
| 3 000 000 ₸ | 120 000 ₸/mo | 22 800 ₸/mo |
Start — 273 600 ₸/year (≈22 800 ₸/mo on annual billing). The price is fixed and doesn't depend on turnover; on top of that — a 0.1% commission instead of 4%.
Break-even point
From this turnover on, the fixed Start plan is already cheaper than 1app's 4% of sales. From there the gap only widens.
A funnel built on free leads
1,000 lead magnets on a platform that charges per enrollment cost 200 000 ₸ before the first sale. On Courstore free students are free.
What about a pause or preparation?
A fixed price doesn’t mean paying for downtime. Your plan starts only when you publish your first course — up to 3 months of preparation for free. And between cohorts you can freeze the subscription: the term isn’t spent, your materials and students stay. You pay the fixed fee for the time you’re selling — and almost nothing when you’re not.
Why Courstore has a fixed price
Our revenue is the subscription, not a share of your turnover. The more you sell, the more stays with you; and our interest is for you to grow and stay for the long run. The plan already includes what’s usually billed separately: acquiring, fiscal receipts, video hosting and campaigns. We’re Astana Hub residents and we’re building the platform for the long haul.
Two things that are usually bought separately
Your school’s data right inside an AI assistant, and an app for students — already in the plan.
We connect your school to Claude — an AI assistant you can talk to in plain words: “how much did we sell this week”, “which students are stuck on lesson three”, “which courses get refunded most”. It pulls the numbers from the platform itself and answers in text — no Excel exports, no developer. No public API was found in the 1app dashboard, and no AI-assistant connection either.
- 12 ready-made queries: sales, students, progress, quizzes, traffic
- An answer in plain text, not a spreadsheet to download
- Your data only, and only with your own access key
- Need your own integration — a regular API and webhooks are there
Students already learn in the Courstore app today — it is included in the plan. If you need an app under your own name and icon in the App Store and Google Play, we build it to order, with an open price and timeline. 1app ships a native app out of the box — a fair strength of theirs; compare by total cost of ownership.
- The shared Courstore app — available right away, no extra fee
- Push notifications from your school
- The same courses, lessons and assignments as on the web
- Open pricing and timelines — we quote for your school
Migrate without the headache
We'll migrate your courses, materials and student base for free — you won't lose a single student or a single lesson. Leave a request and we'll draw up a migration plan tailored to your school.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move my school from 1app to Courstore?
Just leave a request — we’ll transfer your courses, materials and student base for free. We’ll draw up a migration plan, and you won’t lose a single student or lesson. A move usually takes a few days and doesn’t stop your sales.
Will my students notice the move?
Students get access to the same program on the new platform — in Telegram or a browser, with no app to install. Progress and materials are preserved, and for learners the switch looks like a school update.
At what revenue is Courstore cheaper than 1app?
From about 570,000 ₸ a month, the fixed Start plan is cheaper than their 4% of sales. If you build a funnel with free products, Courstore wins from the very first lead: with us, free students are free.
Can I try Courstore without leaving 1app?
Yes. 7 days of full access with no card — create a test course and compare for yourself, without switching anything off on your current platform.
Is it true Courstore is annual-only with strict limits?
No. Plans start from 3 months; Pro has unlimited courses and storage, and Start limits can be expanded with add-ons. And your paid term begins only when you publish your first course.
Do I need to open Kaspi Pay or set up acquiring?
No. Payments are built into Courstore: students pay via Kaspi and cards, and all you need is an account at any bank in Kazakhstan — money arrives the next business day. There's no need to open Kaspi Pay, sign an acquiring contract, or go through bank compliance.
