Teachable Pros and Cons

It's easy to access e-learning and also open your school Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has only one payment option and cannot be accessed without bank transfers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

Teachable is intuitative to use. No fuss type of platform for course hosting. That is what I like the most about it it "no fuss type of platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use, to learn and to understand. I appreciate how intuitive it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a fan of how hard it can be to clean up duplicate and outdated users. (If there is a way I'm not aware of it.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it has all the tools. Like certifica, quizzes, Seeing the progress in the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connection with your students. It was difficult to engage with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Teachable is its easy interface and assistance in collecting taxes from customers around the world. You do not have to worry about applying different tax rates. Teachable does that for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could have been a bit better. The learning activities are limited and there is no way to integrate LIVE sessions from Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
