Pros and cons
What Teachable does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros
- Simple and quick to get started.
- Built-in sales pages and payments.
- Transaction fees removed from the mid tier.
- Handles courses, coaching and digital products.
Cons
- No free tier anymore.
- Transaction fee on the entry plan.
- Less deep customisation than some competitors.
Teachable: when it makes sense.
Teachable makes sense to quickly launch an online course offer; for deep customisation or a free option, another tool fits better.
Keep if
You sell online courses or coaching.. You want a simple, quick-to-launch platform.
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€20) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You want a free platform.. You want a highly customisable white-label school.
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
