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. ----- ### "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 holds merchants' money, without explanation\!" — 1.0/5 > **Jacob** | *23 May 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teachable has been holding over a month’s worth of my business revenue without releasing the funds, providing any valid reason, or even responding to my messages. I've reached out multiple times via email and their support portal, and have been completely ignored. > > **Cons**: This lack of transparency and communication has directly impacted my business operations — I’ve missed payroll, delayed services to clients, and lost significant revenue. Teachable’s platform gave no warning of potential fund holds, and their total silence has made it impossible to resolve the issue. > > I’m requesting immediate release of the funds and a formal response explaining the cause of the delay. This is unacceptable behavior for a financial platform, and it’s created severe consequences for my business. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "It's a great platform for my course" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *8 January 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was excited to find a product that was stremlined and user friendly. I even like that I can register students without registering for their monthly plan. Of course the fees are a little higher with that version but I like the 'try-before-you-buy aspect'. I like the look of it and that you will be able to creat certificates and allow students to track their progress. One of my favorite features is being able to create discount/ special codes when you want. > > **Cons**: I don't like that i have to post a youtube URL if my videos are a little larger. This adds a little complication seeing as I'm not a techie, but it's not insurmountable. > > I have enjoyed my time with Teachable thus far and I think it's one of the best platforms out there. I'm enjoying the user-friendly process. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/71923/teachable?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/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
