"Centralized Learning Made Easy with Thinkific"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I like how customizable Thinkific is. It's really helpful that it's kind of like a blank canvas where I can add my own graphic header and the questions I like. Thinkific has been really helpful as a space to make a creative learning process with a landing page where people can opt in when they want and go through the curriculum at their own pace. It has been great to use Thinkific as a centralized learning platform because it saves a lot of coaching calls and face-to-face meetings. After trying a learning platform with WordPress that was too clunky and didn't have the right tools we needed, we tried Thinkific, and it worked great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I would like there to be a way to add better headings. For all my headers, I've had to use a different application to create a graphic image that I then import myself, rather than having a place that creates a branded template on top of every page. Setting up the whole course was a lot of work, though setting up the account was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Styles of Thinkific

Thank you for taking the time to share this! It's great to hear Thinkific has become your centralized learning hub and helped save time -- that's exactly the kind of impact we're aiming for.

We also appreciate the honest feedback on headers and branding. We'll make sure this gets in front of the right team.

Thanks again for being part of the Thinkific community.

"Building a Personal Digital Store Connected to My Community."
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I really like how intuitive the product creation flow is. The platform makes it easy to turn an idea into a structured digital product in a very short time. I also appreciate the flexibility in pricing options, especially the ability to offer free downloads in exchange for email signups. The customization features allow me to create a store that feels personal and aligned with my brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

The AI product creation tool has potential, but it could be more precise and user-guided. Sometimes the prompts feel a bit unclear, and the output does not fully match what I request. A more interactive step-by-step system or clearer input instructions would make the experience smoother and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Styles of Thinkific

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We love hearing that the product creation flow feels intuitive and that the pricing flexibility is working well for you. Building a store that feels personal and connected to your community is exactly what we aim to make possible.

Your feedback on Thinker is really appreciated. As our newest feature, we are actively iterating on it and working to make the experience more guided and precise. Specific input like yours is incredibly helpful as we continue to improve it.

Thanks again for being part of the Thinkific community. We are excited to keep building tools that help you grow!

"Flexible Course Builder with Powerful Templates and Zapier Integrations"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

The ability to customise the course content, while also offering a range of templates ready to implement. The page builder for course pages and the front-end of the site makes it easy for beginners while also offering the flexibility for power users to edit page code. The integrations with zapier meant that we were able to automate our invoicing process. The performance was nearly 100% up time. The pricing was competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

There were some pages where we were unable to fire javascript, which meant that we were limited in our customisations somewhat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Learning Platform with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I love how Thinkific creates a streamlined platform where I can manage order bumps, subscriptions, flagship, and mini courses all in one place. It's more comprehensive compared to Squarespace and Shopify. I enjoy the integration feature that allows me to connect my courses with Shopify and TikTok Shop, enabling me to reach my audience effectively and sell both virtually and in person. Thinkific's customer service is fantastic; they went above and beyond to help me when I was locked out of my account for 28 days, communicating through emails and phone calls to reactivate my site. The educational resources through webinars and the YouTube channel have been invaluable in helping me maximize the platform's usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I wish there was an email marketing feature so I wouldn't have to pay extra for Zapier and Mailchimp, which increases my monthly budget by $40. I also wish there was embedded video recording natively into the platform or integration with Zoom without having to use link attachments. This would help not having to send so many links and reminders. After hosting 35 events on Eventbrite, I would like to host my webinars natively on my own platform on Thinkific to avoid so many fees and all my attendees' issues with signing in. It took 2 weeks to learn it, and I could use more assistance with landing pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward Reporting with Detailed Transaction Filters"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Thinkific provides detailed transaction information and helpful filters, so it’s easier to pull exactly the data you’re looking for. I can quickly run different reports to keep an eye on revenue and fees, and the overall reporting process feels straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

In my experience, Thinkific doesn’t provide much support for setting up the correct tax amounts across different U.S. states or countries. It seems to default to a standard setting that doesn’t match the proper taxes for every location. This has led to issues and extra work on my end to reverse taxes that students were charged and paid incorrectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thinkific: An Effective and User-Friendly Learning Environment"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Thinkific Plus provides organizations with flexibility and scalability, and its multi-site administration is excellent for supporting growth across different teams or regions. The customization options make branding simple and consistent, while its integrations and APIs allow for smooth, automated workflows. In addition, the platform’s dependable customer service ensures a seamless experience. It also offers robust analytics, making it easier for teams to track learner progress and improve training programs. Altogether, it’s a solution built to evolve with an organization’s needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Although Thinkific Plus is a strong platform, its higher pricing can be difficult for smaller businesses to justify. The analytics, while useful, could be more comprehensive, and some aspects of design customization may require coding knowledge. In certain cases, users also have to rely on workarounds for specific integrations, which can be inconvenient for teams looking for a fully streamlined setup.

"Effortless Course Hosting with Remarkable Support"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I use Thinkific for work projects for our clients, and I like that it's very easy to use with many resources available to help along the way. I find it intuitive and simple for the user. I also appreciate the support we received for setting up the platform. The launch specialist was patient and provided all the information we needed in an easy-to-understand manner. The initial setup was relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

It took us a long time to create the actual content. I didn't realize how long it took. I wish there were more resources with Thinkific that can help create content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Platform for Creating and Selling Online Courses"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

What I like most about Thinkific is how easy it is to use. The platform is very intuitive, which lets me focus on creating content instead of dealing with technical issues. It gives me everything I need to run my courses in one place, from hosting lessons to managing students and sales. The initial setup was pretty easy too, with intuitive step-by-step guides that made it straightforward to get our courses up and running quickly. We chose Thinkific because it’s more user-friendly, offers better course management tools, and gives us more control over the student experience. It’s reliable, easy to use, and has most of the features you need to run online courses effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Some design and customization options are limited, and advanced features are only available on higher-tier plans. It would be great to have more flexibility in page layouts, more control over the checkout design, and access to advanced features without needing to upgrade to higher priced plans.

"Thinkific has it all and more"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

It has all the functions I need and more, so it allows us to grow as we go. Also appreciate the accessible entry level plans for starting entrepreneurs.

I built my whole homepage there, my landing pages and of course the courses we offer. Now we can also offer products, that´s a nice extra too.

I really really love that I can host my videos directly on the platform, without a limit, it makes things so much easier.

The community option is very interesting too. We´re not using it yet, but definitely will in the future.

Interface is so intuitive and I have always received helpful support, when I needed it.

I use the platform for some years now, almost daily these days, I always find what I need, creating my courses was easy and there are many very thoughtful options that save time and energy.

The basic integration options I needed work well. I am not the techiest person and could implement everything i wished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I would love to have the App included on my plan, to make it easier for our students.

And I would love to integrate with Brevo for emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
