What you actually get with OpenMirai
02
Block-based pricing that grows with you
Blocks create a fairer scaling story: customers pay for real platform usage and can top up blocks instead of jumping into expensive fixed tiers too early
03
0% platform fee from day one
0% platform-fee positioning from the start is easier for course sellers to trust than platforms that remove fees only after an upgrade or use marketplace revenue share
04
Academy-first, end to end
OpenMirai is academy-first: site, courses, learner management, payments, receipts, certificates, analytics, content protection, and multi-language support are connected in one flow
Every feature, side by side
