Teachable review

Teachable keeps its focus on courses and digital products, and its pricing reflects that. Starter costs $29 a month on annual billing or $39 monthly and allows 5 products, AI creation tools, iOS and Android student apps, global payments and taxes, upsells and cart recovery. The catch is a 7.5% transaction fee on Starter, which disappears on Builder at $69 a month billed annually; Builder also raises the cap to 10 products and adds an affiliate program and real-time support. Growth at $139 a month billed annually allows 50 products and adds course certificates, removal of Teachable branding, imported students, custom admin permissions and free subtitles and translations. A Custom tier with a success manager and bulk sales features is quoted by sales. Teachable does not offer a free plan; it gives a 7-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email marketing and community are lighter than in all-in-one suites, so many creators pair it with a separate email tool.
