Teachable Pros and Cons

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.

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.

Easy to create courses and sell.

The platform is so good, and mainly, the designs of the landing page are stunning.

For into, I mean starters too, it's good. Just in simple tricks, we make the platform easy and simple.

Payments collection and settlement all easy.

They do develop new awesome features. It all like things are kept on updating

I also loved the community they built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few times, it's tough to bundle the courses that per my choice. Also, I need to add a build download option because sometimes, if I need to draw the data, then to download one video by video, it was so annoying. Mobile version need to upgrade a little. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the system is slow to react. The reporting dashboard could be improved, I still have to manually compile some data for reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been looking for a good tool to help me create, design, and sell online courses. I've found Teachable. It is a great platform that provides courses on how to create, design, and sell online courses. It is a great learning tool that is easy to use and helps me easily create, design, and sell my courses on the web. It also allows me to earn with ease. I am so happy I found this tool.

It could use some improvement in the areas of customizable branding and the ability for community engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
