When talking to new potential course creators, we’re often asked a flavor of this simple but important question:

> **What makes you different from other online course platforms?**

We love answering this question because it cuts right to the heart of why we started CourseStack in the first place - to ***maniacally*** serve the technical course creator. There are a lot of existing platforms out there that let you create and publish an online course. But, when it comes to courses that have deeply technical content, creators quickly run short of suitable options. There’s a simple reason for this - technical content needs to be reinforced with hands-on, interactive learning.

***None of the existing platforms offer a way to achieve this.***

CourseStack makes it easy and cost effective to deliver amazing interactive learning content to your students, directly integrated into your course along with your other learning material. No hacky 3rd party or home grown solutions required. Students get a simple, intuitive, single platform to access and learn from the best content creators out there.

And since everyone loves a competitor comparison chart…. here’s ours:

*\*coming soon*

No other course platform comes close to providing the level of support and functionality specific to technical, interactive content as CourseStack. Sure, we’ve seen a few that have basic coding challenges/code sandboxes, but we’re far from impressed with the experience.
