Uploading content is quite easy. It would be better if there were more flexibility over editing the appearance of sales pages etc - it can be clunky and frustrating

Awful customer service

I'd really like to start using Teachable again. UnfortunatelyI hit a glitch with deleting an old school. Chatbot said they'd refer to a human and I waited 45 minutes before giving up. So, nope.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! It sounds like having the option to use an authenticator app for one-time passcodes could be a helpful way to manage account security. We appreciate you letting us know this is something you’d like to see available, and we’ll be sure to pass that feedback along to our team!

Teachable does a nice job on the actual selling side - checkout, payment plans, subscriptions, and the student experience all feel well thought out. My main hesitation would be the transaction fee on the Starter plan. Once you’re making regular sales, moving to a higher tier probably makes more sense.

DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM

DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM.

Legitimately THE WORST platform I have ever used. Not only is the whole design incredibly, unnecessarily convoluted and complicated, it CONSTANTLY glitches, coupons stop working for no reason, the currency changes regardless of settings, and try to get support - no chance. A simple reply takes 2 days, then when you answer, it’s another 2 days to get the next reply. God only knows how long it would take to actually complete a conversation. The fees are ridiculous. The worst designed software I’ve ever encountered. I will be transferring my course to another supplier ASAP and will never use this again, and will be ensuring none of my colleagues do either. Maybe they’ll reply here quicker than they do on their ‘help chat’.

Hi Laura, I’m sorry to hear how frustrating your experience with Teachable has been. The issues you’ve described with coupons, currency, and the overall experience, along with the delays are certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into what happened and see if there’s anything we can do to help. Unfortunately, we’re unable to identify your account from the information included in this review. If you’re willing, please reach out to us at support@teachable.com and mention this review so our team can locate your account and take a closer look.

We also appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. I understand how frustrating it can be to wait for a response when you’re already dealing with an issue, and I’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to the team.

Projection for Teachable's extortion prices

My Experience with Teachable

I have been using Teachable for nine years, and while getting timely help with issues has always been a challenge, the platform used to have a Creator community page where creators could share information, ask questions, and help one another. That was eventually discontinued. From my perspective, this was disappointing because it also eliminated a place where creators could openly discuss concerns about the platform and its pricing.

One of my biggest concerns now is how Teachable’s pricing works as your business grows. Even if you are paying for one of their more expensive plans—$300+ per month—there can still be limits based on the number of learners you have. Once you reach certain enrollment levels, you may be charged additional fees per learner.

There are also transaction fees when students purchase courses directly through Teachable. For example, if you generate $10,000 in direct sales, a 7.5% transaction fee would mean another $750 in fees.

In other words, the more successful your business becomes, the more additional costs you can face. For a growing education business, that can become expensive very quickly.

I also know approximately ten other creators I have worked with who are now moving their courses to other learning management platforms because of these issues. Teachable seems to rely, in part, on the idea that moving an established course business to another platform will be difficult. In my experience, however, moving your courses and content to another LMS is much easier than you might think.

After nine years with the platform, I have seen significant changes, and unfortunately, I believe the platform has declined in several important areas. With increasing competition from other LMS providers, I am not sure Teachable will be able to maintain its position if it continues down this path.

If you are considering Teachable for your courses, I strongly recommend doing your research and comparing the total cost, learner limits, transaction fees, customer support, and how easily you can move your content before making a long-term commitment.

Hi Kristi, thank you for sharing your feedback, and especially for being part of the Teachable community for the past nine years. We recognize that a long-term customer has seen a lot of changes over that time, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience has left you feeling that the platform has declined in areas that matter to you.

We understand that pricing is an important consideration for any growing business, and we appreciate your perspective on how changes to plans, transaction fees, and student-related costs can affect that decision. Our plans and pricing have evolved over time, with different plans offering different features, student allowances, and transaction-fee structures, so we encourage creators to review the current plan details and choose the option that best fits their business.

We also understand your disappointment regarding the Creator Community. We know that having a space where creators can exchange ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another can be valuable. While the way we facilitate that connection has changed, supporting creator education and connection remains important to us. For example, we now offer live Weekly Platform AMAs where creators can connect with Teachable experts as well as other creators, ask questions, and get guidance on everything from using the platform to building and growing their digital product businesses. You can learn more about our Weekly Platform AMA here: https://www.teachable.com/events/scaling-with-teachable-live-product-platform-ama

While we’re sorry to hear that Teachable no longer feels like the right fit for your business, we genuinely appreciate the nine years you’ve spent with us and the candid feedback you’ve shared. Feedback like this helps us understand where we can continue to improve the experience for creators. Wishing you all the best!

Overall the product is great. I, however, would like to see more flexibility when creating a course certificate for my users since I lack some skills necessary to customize it to my liking.

Hello Shelly, thanks so much for taking the time to provide your feedback! I see that you're interested in receiving a refund for a product purchased from a school hosted by Teachable, and I'll be happy to reach out to you directly to help advise on next steps!

That said, I noticed that your review includes some personal information, including payment-related information. For your privacy and security, we’d recommend editing your Trustpilot review to remove that information. We’re not able to remove or edit the review on your behalf, but you should be able to make the changes directly through your Trustpilot account.

I'll be in touch shortly! Thanks again!

Express Yourself with Teachable

I began using Teachable several years ago. I slacked off during Covid; I regret not going full steam then. Now I'm back into Teachable. It's like an old, powerful friend. I will make Teachable courses out of every live course I have ever presented. I've tried other platforms. Not one holds a candle to the power...and support...of Teachable.
