Teachable Pricing Overview

I like that it was easy to get started and set up my online course. It is very intuitive to use for first-time course creators, and they do have a ton of options for course marketing education. I also do love that they have a pricing model that allows you to grow with them so that you don't have to take too big of a risk to start and implement/promote your online course.

I have many things that have left me unsatisfied with Teachable. First off, I pay 120 per month for the pro version; however, I keep getting emails a few times a year promoting an intro rate for $99. I do not know why this wasn't offered to me from the beginning, but the fact that this is what they charge MULTIPLE times per year and yet I am being forced to pay more is ridiculous and adds up quickly. I even asked them and they just do NOT respond. Second, my MacBook is from 2016 and just recently, Teachable no longer lets me upload files. I am trying to revamp my course yet cannot upload any of my updated videos. Whenever I contact customer support they give me the basic "clear your cache, restart, update your browser, etc etc" But I cannot update my browser because my software is the last version I can get on this Mac. It's ridiculous that I am not able to upload any of my new content, and I am pretty much almost being forced to purchase a new computer to update my course. I have tried on Safari, and Firefox, and since it's not the most up to date version, I am no longer able to upload files. Finally, I wanted to add order bumps to the checkout page and they said that is not available, I have to use a third party. So I decided to use ThriveCart which was $600 (one time fee) and literally less than 3 months later, they came out with order bumps. When first starting, the whole "schools" concept is also very confusing. Extremely frustrated with Teachable and now looking into Kajabi.

I am able to host my online course, gate it for a fee, and my students are generally happy with the ease of use.

It is very easy to get started with Teachable. It’s user friendly, easy to upload videos and easy to create landing pages for your courses. Their website builder uses drop and drag and there are great options for blogging and and expanding the webpage beyond just the courses. There are also plugins and options for connection with popular emailing softwares/pixels.

The pricing scale has continuously increased and it’s made it difficult for new people to get the features they need for a reasonable price. There’s not a lot of options for personalization so once you get past the beginning stages of course creation, the drag and drop website begins to feel elementary.

Teachable is a great course hosting platform. The user interface is seamless and it’s simple to set up quickly.

- It provides everything from hosting content, setting up quizes, delivering learning materials to download, collecting payments & taxes, limitting content access based on learning level, issuing certificates and much more. - It also allows you to fully customize your school from Home page to Thank you page. - You can also set up custom emails which can be triggered on completion of certain actions of your students.

- The interface iis very confusing, I always struggle in finding a particular setting - It is super expensive. The basic plan comes at $39 a month and not only this it also charges 5% transaction fees on all the payments done via teachable

Initally it helped us setitng up our online school but later on we found that they have designed their product in such a way that the user is bound to use their inbuilt tools. For example third party payment intergration is next to impossible hence you end up paying them more in terms of transcation fees or higers plans.

This is a great tool to use for someone who really wants to embrace online learning and teaching on the fly. Teachable has amazing tutorials to help you through every step of the process. It's also so easy to customize, personalize, and frame to your branding and style. We've just recently moved to this tool because it's easy to understand with multiple web-design backgrounds. We are very excited to utilize this and look forward to hearing feedback from our staff.

As of right now we only have the basic plan which leaves us with a credit card transaction fee. At 5% this can really impact sales in the purchasing update and we may have to reevaluate upgrading our account. Also, unless we upgrade, this is only one owner/author which means we all share a log-in and do not have as much traceability as we would with other tools or a different plan.

The biggest advantage is how easy it is to use. We've tested out the editing features with multiple teachers and there have been minimal questions that they couldn't find answers to through training tutorials or Teachable's support staff. With over 2,300 staff members, it's hard to manage all the questions and problems by myself, being able to trust in Teachable's staff is so helpful.

Classes are easy to create and navigate.

Compared to other platforms the cost of adding additional admin support is expensive.

The cost is not compatible with newer like platforms. However, it will take alot of man hours to transfer our courses elsewhere. But we may have to this summer. We needed additional admin support without the high exuberant cost.

I like the price the best. Their competitor kana i is waayyy expensive

I wish it had a little more capabilities and flexibility

It’s difficult to brand it to your own business.

- It's partially white labeled, although not fully. So you do get the branding of the specific provider which is nice - Having all your courses from a specific provider in a centralised environment is nice. Otherwise some courses may get lost. - The possibility is there to combine accounts if ever needed (which was the case for me) - When you login to your Teachable account, you get an overview of all your providers and thus all your courses when you click on them.

- It would be way, way, way too expensive for my personal taste to use for my own businesses. I always look for lifetime deal software and if that's not possible, I would definitely find something with a much lower monthly cost. In my case, I'd use WordPress with some plugin(s) to achieve the same type of functionality. - The process of signing up for a course after buying from a provider who uses Teachable can be hard/confusing sometimes. I ended up with 3 accounts and due to my own fault I even lost access to a few courses. Luckily that provider gave me back that access after my request, but it was a hastle anyway. Again, this was partially my own doing (including creating the multiple accounts), but it can be confusing is what I found.

Basically, as mentioned above, I do like it when I purchase a course from someone and they use Teachable. Because by now, I know what Teachable is so it's very easy for me to go to my account and find my new course there. So as a "buyer of online courses", my experience has been positive. Though again, I would not use the software for my own businesses. I'd personally use something different.

Course design and functionality, robust reporting, and easy payment structure.

It could use some improvement in the areas of customizable branding and the ability for community engagement.

Great platform for hosting virtual courses. Payment integration was a breeze and I loved that I had the ability to enable discount codes for promotions.
