Teachable Reviews & Product Details

Courses are easy to build, and I can set the requirements up in a way that works for my community.

I can't automatically send out reminders to students who haven't finished courses. While teachable does integrate with mailchimp, it only syncs the email address - meaning that any marketing has to happen manually.

We offer online courses for small businesses, and Teachable hosts those courses for an unlimited number of users without a transaction fee. Great if you're looking to sell to individuals.

Flexibility. Teachable allows me to change by opening it up to HTML edits. Like any other tool, there are also some limitations to Teachable, but overall, anyone with basic to intermediate HTML coding knowledge can customize it.

Support team. Somehow, the support team appears to be just an end user who knows the product. Most of the time, I resolve the issues that I encounter on my own or I just live with it.

An online teaching platform that doesn't take a long time to learn, and is considerably affordable.

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.

Teachable is an excellent option for online course creators just getting started because it's super user-friendly, easy to navigate and setup, and has tons of integration options, making it easy for a new user to jump right in and get started. They provide you with a lot of information and data, which is excellent. They also offer some options for personalization. Ultimately, I would say that Teachable has everything you need to start an online course with very little time, money and resources. It's a one stop shop.

Teachable has some setbacks. Although I mentioned that it's a one-stop-shop and has everything you need, I still wish there were more customization options for how the course material is structured. I am all about customer experience (for our students), and I don't think Teachable gives course creators enough options to display and present the material. I think it can often be confusing to navigate as a student, and the course layout can be bulky making information difficult to locate. So while Teachable is easy to navigate and set up from a course creator perspective, I'm not convinced that it's the best for a student.

We use Teachable to organize and communicate our assets to our students. We use it as a platform for teaching our online digital product. When we sell a course, we have automation and triggers set up to enroll the buyer in the correct course. We also use it to bundle courses together so we can provide multiple products with one purchase. It basically hosts all of the information and knowledge for our students.

It's easy to upload videos and add information to your course

The system is buggy, like when you add text and hit enter sometimes all your text disappears and there's no save function so you just have to rewrite it. Customer service is horrible, you get caught in unending loops of staff asking you the same questions over and over with near no resolution. They also deal poorly with non US currencies (we're a Canadian company).

I have set up 5 courses which generate sales for my company.

- 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.

We were initially attracted by the ability to import courses from Udemy. That feature has not been available for 3-4 years though. The platform looks pretty good even without any real updates to it in years.

Usability is dying a slow death and customer service is atrocious. We've been a customer for 6 years and have about 5 schools with Teachable. In the last year we've had a huge number of issues with the platform. Saying the customer service has been poor is a huge understatement. A few examples: 1. One ticket from four months ago was completely ignored as we submitted request after request to have it handled. It's still open and not completed. Nobody will respond. 2. A ticket from 2 months ago, a very important ticket, has received no less than a dozen "we're looking into this" responses when we reach out to them. We've reached out to every person we know there, including the owner (who did not respond at all by the way), and are still waiting. It has not been taken care of and they will not put us in touch with someone who can help. The platform itself has gotten really buggy over the last couple years. The admin panel often takes 30 seconds or more to move from screen to screen, and sometimes simply fails to function. Things are getting worse here day by day. If I wrote this three years ago I would have recommended Teachable. After the last couple years of watching this company flail around unable to improve its product or provide anything resembling customer service I can't recommend a competitor strongly enough. Teachable now has a number of competitors. Pick any of them over Teachable.

We needed an LMS for video-based courses. We've been able to successfully sell online courses for many years.

I love Teachable because I use it as both a student and a teacher. When I first began to put out my online courses, I had to do a bit of experimenting because I was new in the world. With Teachable free plan, it's easy to create multiple Beta Courses, launch it on the market and then get reviews on each to create better courses. This way, I was able to understand what specific niche I should choose (what has the best market) and choose a paid plan on that. So that's very generous of the platform.

Probably nothing but I feel the graphics could be a bit prettier. it's also a little complicated to create the landing page and definitely there can be some room for improvement :) Otherwise it's great as it is!

I am being able to teach my courses and also explore unique niches. For example, perhaps I would like to teaches course on benefits of a herb but not be sure that whether it will have the demand or not. With Teachable Free plan, I can have multiple courses on multiple herbs and then choose the one that gives people the most benefit.

The ease of use and the integrations it allows

the fact that affiliate marketing is only available on the high ticket subscriptions

Teaching students and clients online

Combining recorded webinar sessions, ebooks, presentations in one single school Great support of the teachable team with trainings, blogs, best practices, successful trainers and inspirational success stories

No German website or support for discussions No direct live webinar stream, have to use third party services like Youtube or Twitch.

Advantages of students: gain vendor-independent knowledge on communications technologies, combines videos, presentations and ebooks My advantages: Offering trainings, collecting email addresses, gaining new insights, gaining new clients, higher visibility, learning howto's, opening mind and analize trends

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 looked at many online course platforms before deciding on teachable. It’s intuative and they offer excellent support.

I could use more prodding to finish Building the courses.

Online course creation for my business.

Easy to build your course with a variety of text and file uploads. Easy to enroll customers as students in the courses. Good navigation for customers to navigate through the courses.

Sometimes the system is slow to react. The reporting dashboard could be improved, I still have to manually compile some data for reports.

Educating customers on our platform. Customers can navigate through the course independently and with ease.

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.

The best part about Teachable is definitely its ease of use. No special coding knowledge required, everything is pretty drag and drop. We're able to upload videos and PDFs and add things like quizzes and text to each lesson

Lately, Teachable has had lots of downtime and errors, making the site inaccessible. This can be very disruptive for us and our students, especially during launch periods.

Teachable allows us to sell online courses and make money teaching what we love! It's easy to use, complex enough for our needs, and they have responsive customer support

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.

My favorite feature is the ability to update students usernames/password easily when they get locked out.

I wish there was a way to send a coupon code link without having to do a bulk generation.

We have two training courses that we host on Teachable and it is a great tool & resource for our clients to use.

I like it has all the tools. Like certifica, quizzes, Seeing the progress in the videos.

Connection with your students. It was difficult to engage with them.

And helping during pandemic to create courses online teach them.

User-friendliness. Easy to go back if you need to review things.

No way to skip ahead if you get disconnected.

Required training.

The integrations and reporting have made this a perfect platform for lead gen.

There is a pretty significant lag for exporting customer records.
