The solution allows users to create and share online courses by adding audio, video, images, text and PDF files. Students can access these courses across devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. The solution enables users to create online quizzes and certificates to evaluate students’ progress. Google Forms are included to collect course feedback. Targeted emails can be sent based on filters such as enrollment, course completion and code redemption. The solution integrates with Zapier to provide access to tools such as Intercom, Olark, MailChimp and Zendesk. Teachable’s dashboard provides an overview of student signups and revenue across a defined time period. In addition, users can incentivize enrollments by creating discount coupons.

You also don't have to worry about managing customer logins to your own website for security since all that happens on Teachable's system. It's easy to upload content and create your curriculum, and it's nice that you can start with a pre-made template for sales pages and checkout pages, rather than having to create all that from scratch. > > **Cons**: If you're not making many sales, it can be hard to justify the ongoing monthly expense. The login system is surprisingly frustrating and confusing, especially if students have enrolled in previous courses or if you yourself have enrolled in other Teachable-hosted courses. At one point I had 10+ logins, but I've slowly been able to consolidate those under one master account. > > Overall, my experience has been positive. I've created 4 courses on the platform so far. ----- ### "Sell your expertise with this affordable platform" — 4.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *21 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teachable is best known for its very few clicks to launch your online school and start selling your expertise almost without any prior knowledge of building sites, blogging, creating courses along with their diverse content. As an admin, you have it all to tailor your content, analyse the progress of your sales and business, get connected with your learners and other communities and much more. yet, I like it best for its rich features when it comes to building courses, particularly quizzes, certification and user-friendly dashboard. > > **Cons**: Though basic and cheap compared to its rivals, some features are really useless like email automation. Teachable claim to have some marketing features like landing pages or sales builders; the fact that makes a host of courses, no more. One more thing, their transaction rates are really insane. > > The most affordable online platform to host courses and coaching sessions at low costs and some basic features that range from content creation to email automation, and from building assignments and quizzes to analytics and reports. Though Teachable is less appealing compared to its rivals, Kartra for instance, it still claims to make the learning experience rich and easy to navigate on learners' portal: you can upload all that you see appropriate for your course completion. ----- ### "Paid account deleted with no reason or notification" — 1.0/5 > **Jacopo** | *16 October 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice looking and quite simple to use for the basic stuff > > **Cons**: Customer Support wasn't able to help most of the times I contacted them > > My academy created on Teachable was deleted today without any reason. I paid over 1000 euros for the annual plan a few months ago, and I’ve spent several months creating and optimizing it. Today, when I try to access the link to my homepage, I get the message: "This page does not exist. Sorry :( Error 404" This situation is completely unacceptable, and I demand to be contacted immediately and without delay so that this issue can be resolved. ----- ### "They care about making a good product - but it'll cost you." — 5.0/5 > **Ruth** | *2 February 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is easy to get started - on a Pro account you have everything you need, the free tier these days has very little. It's a great drag and drop course content \& sales pages - handles all the sales and taxes if you like. Provide training to help you get started with not just the course creation but the sales side as well - I definitely found this helpful in the beginning. > > **Cons**: There is very little in terms of tracking student progress - the mail capability is lacking - I use separate softwares for emailing, customer management and even certification (zapier \& mailerlite). So those features though provided by Teachable don't have much functionality. I can see individual students log ins and progress on individual courses - but overall unable to see for instance, a list of students that havent' logged in for a certain time period - I have to look at each student individually. So it's very difficult to track the students progress overall in the school. Plus they've just put the prices up and it's very expensive now. > > I have used Teachable for 5+ years, started on a free tier and have gone up the tiers as my business has grown. Though they have a lot of resources for businesses starting out, the resources for growing business is lacking in my opinion. The platform itself works well, I don't come across any broken functionality or bugs - it's more that the price has become prohibitive for me and though their customer service is helpful (offered me a slight discount on the price increase) I'll still be moving to a lifetime deal with another software. To conclude - it's a great platform but be wary as a new business starting out - once you've taken that free trial and start building your business on there, it's easy to become trapped and have to pay whatever they're asking to avoid moving your whole school to another platform. ----- ### "Teachable--- Hosting Your Online Classes" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 February 2020* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been a Teachable user for a few years (I was a user when the name was Fedora). Since then, Teachable has been one of the most mentioned names for online course creators. One of the things I like best about Teachable is how easy it is to use the platform. In a matter of time, you can create an online course, including curriculum and media. This is super convenient for both the novice online course creator and the more experienced ones. It's a time saver\! > > **Cons**: Since 2019, the blog feature of being able to auto-schedule posting has not worked. I've placed support tickets to address the issue, but as of this writing (Feb 2020), the feature still isn't working. I write blog content well in advance and was able to schedule blog posts with ease. Now I have to set a reminder to go into my Teachable account to manually post the blog. This is not ideal. > > My overall experience with Teachable has been very positive. Responsive customer support, improved features, and excellent onboarding training. My only frustration is the inability to auto-schedule blog posts. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/71923/teachable?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/71923/teachable) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
