I'm still very early and I'm still experimenting with the business model and how it can fit as best as possible with the instructors needs. For now, I've chosen to have a low price subscription ($9/month) for the instructors that don't know if they'll make a lot of sales. The $9/month helps me with covering the cost of running, maintaining, and improving the platform by adding more and more features over time. In case, you plan to make a lot of sales (because you already have a huge audience on social media or Youtube for example), you can choose the other plan (Pro trainer), and pay no fee on each sale (expect for the Stripe fee). In either case, you can upgrade/downgrade at anytime and for no extra cost.

I'd definitely consider adding a free tier - even if it's just the ability to build a course without publishing it. It takes a lot of effort to build out a solid course. A lot of folks will take longer than 2 weeks. I think it's difficult for a content creator to justify a monthly fee until they're ready to publish and try to generate an income. Only having paid options also increases friction for adoption. If something is free, I'm happy to give it a try and see if it's worth paying for. If I have to pay no matter what, I find myself a lot less likely to try something out. I'm definitely interested in trying, but the lack of a free onboarding option makes me more hesitant (not sayings that it's 100% rational, just that it's my emotional response when looking for options :) )
