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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The level of customer support is frankly incredible. Quick, helpful, and more comprehensive (and patient) than anything I've ever experienced. Functionality continuously improving too, and very easy to use (I have zero tech/coding experience, but have managed to build a pretty sophisticated platform with 18,000+ registered users).

It's not an understatement to say that what Thinkific has enabled me to build has changed my/my family's life. I've never evangelised about a business so much, and can't recommend Thinkific enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quiz functionality looks a little outdated/lacks certain functions that I would love to see, but I'm aware this is being rebuilt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Thinkific because it's intuitive, making course creation effortless and direct. The customer support team is always responsive when we have questions or need assistance, which enhances the overall experience. I appreciate the capability to create endless products, as this allows me to iterate and customize an individualized learning space for each client. This feature enhances my ability to support students by providing various learning modes and establishing unique course offerings. The setup process was fairly easy, and Thinkific's support in transferring contacts was incredibly helpful, which facilitated a seamless transition from our previous platform.

I think some of the UX of the landing pages can be significantly improved. For one of our students to land on that page, it's not very inspiring, and we are limited in how much we can customize it as the ones setting it up. I think also being able to copy and paste into lessons without messing up formatting would be great. It's currently very glitchy, messes up easily, doesn't tell you which font or size you're currently at, and doesn't make it easy to edit. You kind of need to learn what triggers it each time and then slowly back up. Slows us down extremely when we have multiple lessons to update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to get started, having never used a LMS before. We are a small company and do a lot of the setup of our systems ourselves. The "how to guides" are really useful and had us up and running easliy. We've also likes the add ons and improvements over the years we have Thinkific. We tried others but they were not as intuitive, too complex and time consuming and without the customisation we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We'd like a few more features on the mid range payment tier. We'd like to be able to group our customers by product and more easily email them as a group. We'd like an easy integration with our website also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our community has been in the process of looking for a new learning management system for our enablement training programs and we decided to launch with Thinkific this past spring.

What we liked the most about the product was the ability to create both on-demand and live course content, which fit perfectly into our current program model and expansion plans. Plus, the community group part of the platform allows us to take a step forward in keeping students engaged in the LMS instead of using slack channels for communication.

We've been working behind the scenes on getting courses rebuilt in Thinkifc and recently just launched our new system. The process of bringing over old courses was rather smooth and we are excited to finally get users into the system to start engaging with our on-demand content. The team at Thinkfic was super helpful with all of our unique program questions and guiding us the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one downside to the platform is that we need need to use some custom code to properly upload our e-learnings as multimedia files instead of SCORM files. Our courses have multiple e-learnings in them so we wanted to avoid using the bundle feature and keep them all in a single course. The issue was when initially uploading the .zip file students could skip the whole e-learning and move on with content.

Thankfully the Thinkific team was able to produce some custom code to avoid this issue. We do need to manually update each zip files code, but we found it worth it for student engagement with our materials.

Also, there is a size limit on multimedia files in the system. If you have a e-Learning with a lot of videos you may need to remove them and upload the videos directly into Thinkific to avoid the size constraints. This wasn't that big of an issue for our course build once we understood what the issue was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
