What is Teachable?

Teachable is a cloud-based course builder platform for producing rich teaching websites and online multimedia lectures. A tiered subscription solution, Free account users all the way up to Professional, High Volume and Enterprise enjoy unlimited course and student capabilities. All offer access to intuitive web-hosted publishing tools, offering template customization and rebranding options with no coding knowledge required. Content assets encompassing images, audio and video can be imported in from popular cloud storage including Dropbox, while administering high and low level updates. A revised Course Page Editor simplifies editing, although more advanced HTML/CSS development can be performed via the integrated Power Editor.

Advanced publishing features for subsequent plans include custom domains, affiliate programs, webhooks and various white-labelling features. Introduce responsive learning tools such as blogs, quizzes, forums, forms and surveys – all automatically optimized to look and perform consistently across every device. Learning content is then made marketable with eCommerce tools for selling content access, running coupon campaigns, accepting global payments and increasing conversions with custom landing pages. A comprehensive administrator dashboard provides analytics monitoring student signups, revenue totals and lecture completion rates. Contact lists can be managed and exported alongside revenue reporting, while managing the payment of multiple course authors.

With course content securely hosted by Teachable, automated backups and 24/7 monitoring reduces the chance of downtime. Student and payment data is made safe due to SSL certificates and level-1 PCI compliancy, while instant updates keep features current. Creators also retain ownership of course data, ideal for lecturers and authors concerned by relinquishing intellectual property.

    User opinions about Teachable price and value

    Value for money rating:

    Of 49 reviews that provide robust commentary on Teachable's price and value, 57% mention it in a positive light.

    Some reviewers feel Teachable provides sufficient course creation, marketing, and analytics tools even in its free pricing plan. They appreciate the availability of a free plan to test significant features and find the pricing structure beginner-friendly. Users think the platform is affordable for small businesses and nonprofits, and they like the three-tiered program, though some find it could be cheaper. However, some users report that the free plan's features are limited, making it more of a trial version. They say the pricing can be prohibitive, especially for new course creators, and find the per-transaction fees and overall costs high compared to other platforms.

    Teachable provides sufficient course creation, marketing and analytics tools even in its free pricing plan.
    It has a free plan and you can test most of significant features of the application
    There is no middle ground between the starter plan and next plan - it's expensive for the starter plan compared to other course platform options with hardly any of the perks the others offer.

    Canvas is another LMS that is free that allows you to have group discussions. Unfortunately, teachable unless you're on the highest tier which is over $100 doesn't allow you to have students communicate in any way and so this was another thing that I had to link out to when I built my courses in teachable.

    Articulate 360 allows you to build interactive courses. Unfortunately, teachable doesn't provide integration so you have to link out to articulate 360 which is one of the big reasons why I left teachable.

    Pros
    Overall, my experience has been great. Their customer service team is super helpful when you need them and the platform is very familiar to a lot of other bloggers and online business owners.
    I like the helpful tips and how useful they are. I also like how I can put my information on slides, so I can create my courses.
    I love the aesthetics and the User Interface. It's all very clean and feels comfortable.
    Cons
    Very depressing especially when they see. Know and hear that you are struggling over and over and over and still are unable to cancel on your own.
    More worrying at the time of writing is that the platform seems to suffer occasional downtime, most significantly on Black Friday, which will have inevitably lost course creators money.
    I dislike that the free option is going away for users with more than 10 students. I also dislike that Teachable still takes a cut of sales, even with paid options.
