What do you like best about Teachable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

An online teaching platform that doesn't take a long time to learn, and is considerably affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teachable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teachable?

Ease to create courses and simple drag and drop website building. Now from the Teachable sales page transaction has become super easy. Loading video content is better than most of the LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

The limitation in the paid version is to have only five courses at a time. However, the pro version doesn't have a limit. Also, pricing is on the higher side. Adding direct automation to enroll students from payment gateway will be a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are utilizing Teachable for our course, and it is giving a smooth process of enrollment, course creation and make the whole teaching process smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teachable?

What I like best is I can create an attractive course very easily. The uploads features work VERY fast and I can see how my course is looking in the preview page. The support is very good too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Sometimes I get lost in all the admin pages in the back-office. It takes me some time to find what I am looking for. I'd like an intermediate plan between the cheapest and the professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teachable offers a platform to hold all your content for students to see. We use it for: selling courses and training our personnel. It's been very good thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teachable?

- 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

- 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teachable?

Courses are easy to build, and I can set the requirements up in a way that works for my community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
