Teachable is a platform for people who want to sell what they know. A creator uploads video lessons, text, and quizzes, organizes them into a course, sets a price, and publishes it on a branded school site. Students enroll, pay, and track their progress, and the creator gets sales and engagement data.
The platform handles the business side. It processes payments in many currencies, supports subscriptions, bundles, and coupons, and offers tools for affiliate programs and email marketing. Coaching products and downloadable files can be sold alongside courses, and certificates reward completion. AI features help draft course outlines and descriptions.
Teachable has a free plan with limits and paid plans that reduce transaction fees and add features. Its design options are less flexible than building on your own site, and creators must bring their own audience. Alternatives include Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia, Udemy for marketplace reach, and Skool for community. Teachable suits individual creators and small businesses selling courses.
