What Distinction is
Distinction is a web platform for building courses and teaching videos, selling digital products, and operating a branded academy. Its AI course builder creates outlines, lessons, and assessments, with support for videos, quizzes, flashcards, slides, coding labs, ebooks, guides, templates, and interactive lessons. The video studio produces narrated, multi-scene teaching videos from prompts and allows scene edits plus custom or cloned voices. Creators can sell digital products with multi-currency pricing and instant downloads; listings are free, while a per-sale fee applies. Course creators can keep up to 97% of course sales, with processing charged separately. Branded academies support custom domains, member management, analytics, certificates, and live classes through Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. Payments include worldwide payouts and bank withdrawals through a revenue wallet. Distinction offers a free start without a credit card, and its listed Free Trial plan covers three courses for 14 days.
