Teachable Reviews & Product Details

It is very easy to get started with Teachable. It’s user friendly, easy to upload videos and easy to create landing pages for your courses. Their website builder uses drop and drag and there are great options for blogging and and expanding the webpage beyond just the courses. There are also plugins and options for connection with popular emailing softwares/pixels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing scale has continuously increased and it’s made it difficult for new people to get the features they need for a reasonable price. There’s not a lot of options for personalization so once you get past the beginning stages of course creation, the drag and drop website begins to feel elementary.

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.

It's easy to upload videos and add information to your course Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is buggy, like when you add text and hit enter sometimes all your text disappears and there's no save function so you just have to rewrite it.

Customer service is horrible, you get caught in unending loops of staff asking you the same questions over and over with near no resolution. They also deal poorly with non US currencies (we're a Canadian company). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of setting up a course and getting started. The example courses and content to improve your course were very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a new con for me. Teachable no longer has unlimited video file size! They used to market unlimited, but that changed to under 4GB if I remember correctly and now they have a hard limit of 2GB. They made this change with NO NOTIFICATION to customers. My customers pay a lot for the content and we deliver 30min+ HD lectures, now we have to leave the platform. If you are thinking "Just use Vimeo to host" that is an extra $600/year to Vimeo to do that.

My second issue is navigating the payment end is complicated when you have customers that forgot to add a coupon (especially for a subscription) or if a customer misses a payment there is very little you can do.

Third, my customer based has grown significantly in EU. Our coaching or live lecture courses aren't required to collect VAT. Teachable collects it anyways and it's up to the customer to get their money back vs not charging them in the first place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Teachable is definitely its ease of use. No special coding knowledge required, everything is pretty drag and drop. We're able to upload videos and PDFs and add things like quizzes and text to each lesson Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately, Teachable has had lots of downtime and errors, making the site inaccessible. This can be very disruptive for us and our students, especially during launch periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a platform where one could earn some cash as well as helpful in finding a tutor for your subject.

This is a great tool to use for someone who really wants to embrace online learning and teaching on the fly. Teachable has amazing tutorials to help you through every step of the process. It's also so easy to customize, personalize, and frame to your branding and style. We've just recently moved to this tool because it's easy to understand with multiple web-design backgrounds. We are very excited to utilize this and look forward to hearing feedback from our staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of right now we only have the basic plan which leaves us with a credit card transaction fee. At 5% this can really impact sales in the purchasing update and we may have to reevaluate upgrading our account. Also, unless we upgrade, this is only one owner/author which means we all share a log-in and do not have as much traceability as we would with other tools or a different plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using WordPress and building websites for almost ten years now. I previously had my courses and memberships on my own site. Since I moved them to Teachable, my sign ups have tripled and my cancellations have gone down to almost nothing. They have an incredibly easy to use system that has everything and that my students love. Plus they offer an affiliate system so I don't have to worry about anything. I can easily make my students affiliates and Teachable takes care of all the payouts and tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do pay quite a bit per month for having all the features I want, however, in the end, the time and money it would take me to do all these things, the price reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After testing several different options, I found this to be the most intuitive for creating ecourses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing, specifically how it's a subscription model. It would be better if they took a percentage based on sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
