"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!

"Streamlined Learning Experience with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I like how streamlined Thinkific is. It's very straightforward on the content creator side, but also streamlined for the learner going through the course. I find it very customizable, so I was able to brand it to look just like we wanted. It was really easy to offload everything from WordPress to Thinkific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Thinkific is perhaps too customizable. I wanted there to be content blocks where I could 'drop in' content rather than just having open space. For example, to make a custom header, I had to create a graphic on another site, download the jpg, and then put it into Thinkific. 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.

"Less work for more revenue! Great for Online Course Creators!"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I really like Thinkific because it’s so simple and easy to follow.

The help center is FANTASTIC! I’m not a tech person, but Thinkific makes it easy to use and even easier to get help whenever I need it. It’s perfect for beginners and, of course, for online course creators who want to save tons of time. Stress-free and affordable!

The payment methods work seamlessly, whether you use Thinkific Payments or a third-party option.

I love all the features and can’t wait to keep growing with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Well, I have to say this might not apply to everyone.

But I’m happy to share my experience: since I’m in Indonesia and most of the help center agents are in the USA, I need to adjust to their time zone and wait for responses during their office hours. It would be great if there were support agents in my time zone to help people like me in Southeast Asia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thinkific made my small business a big one"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

Aside from helping me create my online self-care school for busy people, I love that they're always adding new tools, updating with AI options, and providing very practical features to retain my audience, like having my own app, or improving communities, which are now like our own social network...

And overall, it's very easy to use, intuitive, comprehensive, and an ideal way to run an online business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

Since my online school is designed as a large video library, like a "self-care Netflix," I initially didn't know how to design that experience for the consumer, as Thinkific has a different design for courses.

But I eventually found practical ways to create video galleries by topic, and my students are thrilled.

When they upgraded to the app, it was another way my students began using the school's videos much more fluently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Course Platform, Needs Better Customization"
What do you like best about Thinkific?

I like that Thinkific provides us with a complete course platform without needing a lot of custom development, allowing us to focus on content and learner experience instead of building tech from scratch. I love the course builder, the student experience, and the payments & access control features. The automation and analytics also stand out to me. The initial setup was quite easy and straightforward, as the interface is guided enough to build a simple course and have people enroll without needing a developer. It's a very solid and user-friendly platform for creating and delivering online courses, covering most of what we need out of the box without requiring heavy technical work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I believe that a few areas could be improved - site/page builder limitations: I feel it is a bit restrictive. Some design changes that seem simple require lots of workarounds with custom code; Reporting and analytics: It could be more robust, I would love deeper insights into learner behavior without having to export and analyze it elsewhere; assessment & interactivity: Quizzes and assignments cover the basics, but more advanced assessment options would make it easier for better learning experiences.

I found the course provided by Thinkific to be excellent. The material was easy to follow, and I especially appreciated the inclusion of videos and summary notes, which were very helpful for consolidating the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thinkific?

I appreciate the course's structure, which includes and encourages exercises. However, I would have liked to see more detailed examples within the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
