"Long term customer - Here's why they're not a good choice"

0/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

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.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

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.

"Easy Course Creation, But Limited Customization Options"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

Teachable makes it incredibly easy to transform your knowledge into a course you can sell. The editor is straightforward, setup is quick, and you don’t need any technical expertise to easily create something that looks professional. Uploading videos, adding lessons, and organizing modules all work seamlessly. The integrated payment system is also a huge plus—there’s no need to search for additional tools just to receive payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

The site customization options feel somewhat limited. While you are able to make some adjustments, it doesn't offer the same level of flexibility as a dedicated website builder. Additionally, certain features that I would expect to be standard, such as a wider selection of themes, are only available with more expensive plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teachable has eliminated the biggest challenges I faced when creating and selling online courses. I no longer have to worry about building a website from the ground up, managing payment systems, or piecing together various unrelated tools. Everything I require is conveniently available in one platform—course hosting, sales pages, checkout, analytics, and student management are all included.

The advantages for me are significant. I save a lot of time since I’m not switching between multiple apps. I also don’t need any technical expertise to make my course appear clean and professional. This allows me to launch more quickly and concentrate on developing content rather than troubleshooting technical problems. Payments and student access are handled automatically, so I don’t have to constantly monitor anything.

In summary, Teachable takes care of the complicated aspects and allows me to focus on building and selling my knowledge without the usual stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Teachable Cost Us Real Revenue — Broken Payments, Zero Accountability, Stay Away"

0/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

It offer basic insights about learner progress Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Checkout literally fails when it matters most

During a live $10k campaign with 600+ attendees, payments completely stopped working. Hundreds clicked “Pay” — zero transactions went through. This is unacceptable for a paid platform.

Platform crashes during live sales windows

The exact moment when upsells opened (limited-time, limited seats), Teachable broke. If your business depends on timing, Teachable will kill your revenue.

No downtime alerts, no warnings, no accountability

There was no prior communication about outages. We found out only after losing money. A platform handling payments must notify customers — Teachable doesn’t.

Admin dashboard barely loads

Pages need to be refreshed 2–3 times just to load. This has been happening for months. Even basic usage feels broken and unfinished.

Students face payment errors, then blame YOU

Learners see checkout errors, get frustrated, and think your business is the problem. Teachable damages your brand in front of your customers.

Support wastes time instead of solving problems

Endless emails asking for “more proof” of the same issues already shared multiple times. Weeks go by. No resolution. Just delays.

Chargebacks caused by Teachable, paid by YOU

Multiple students issued a chargeback explicitly because of Teachable’s platform failure. Teachable still deducted money from us plus extra fees. Zero ownership.

High pricing, low reliability

Teachable charges ~$200/month and then compares itself to Zoom and YouTube for uptime excuses.

Everything is “As Is” when things go wrong

When real losses happen, Teachable hides behind Terms of Service instead of fixing damage they caused. No compensation. No responsibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Teachable as online course platform"

3/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

Flexibility. Teachable allows me to change by opening it up to HTML edits. Like any other tool, there are also some limitations to Teachable, but overall, anyone with basic to intermediate HTML coding knowledge can customize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Support team. Somehow, the support team appears to be just an end user who knows the product. Most of the time, I resolve the issues that I encounter on my own or I just live with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great LMS for all"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

Ease to create courses and simple drag and drop website building. Now from the Teachable sales page transaction has become super easy. Loading video content is better than most of the LMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

The limitation in the paid version is to have only five courses at a time. However, the pro version doesn't have a limit. Also, pricing is on the higher side. Adding direct automation to enroll students from payment gateway will be a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It helps you create courses very easily."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

What I like best is I can create an attractive course very easily. The uploads features work VERY fast and I can see how my course is looking in the preview page. The support is very good too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Sometimes I get lost in all the admin pages in the back-office. It takes me some time to find what I am looking for. I'd like an intermediate plan between the cheapest and the professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"May be It Works for You"

1/5

What do you like best about Teachable?

- It provides everything from hosting content, setting up quizes, delivering learning materials to download, collecting payments & taxes, limitting content access based on learning level, issuing certificates and much more.

- It also allows you to fully customize your school from Home page to Thank you page.

- You can also set up custom emails which can be triggered on completion of certain actions of your students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

- The interface iis very confusing, I always struggle in finding a particular setting

- It is super expensive. The basic plan comes at $39 a month and not only this it also charges 5% transaction fees on all the payments done via teachable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initally it helped us setitng up our online school but later on we found that they have designed their product in such a way that the user is bound to use their inbuilt tools. For example third party payment intergration is next to impossible hence you end up paying them more in terms of transcation fees or higers plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
