Thinkific vs Teachable: Which Course Builder is Better?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2019
- Have you been wondering which course builder is better? Well a while ago I did the ultimate test to see whether Thinkific or Teachable was better. Because of that I created a Thinkific vs Teachable review.
Try Thinkific: kindlepreneur.com/click/think...
or
Try Teachable: kindlepreneur.com/click/teach...
I did use affiliate links, however, this won't affect your costs, and neither influenced my decision. It only goes towards my coffee funds.
We did a side by side comparison of the two course builders and broke it down as to which one won each of the main categories. So, check out this video to see which one I will be sticking with.

Thank you very much! This was so helpful
For those who wish to decide between Thinkific and Teachable, here's all you need to know, that is actually rarely commented in comparisons: Teachable displays videos for the students in 720. This is: not in full HD (1080). Teachable doesn't display this information in their web-site. They say they support HD and 4K, but that is only to upload the files. Video is then down-sized to 720 for the students. I asked their support, and they told me exactly that. This alone is the reason why you should choose Thinkific.
Very thankful for this comment!
Because of your AMS course, I picked up access to Thinkific. And, I saw immediate results, so I upgraded to the pro plan. Sooooooo worth it. Big kudos on a balanced comparison video.
Thanks Dale. Yeah, I really mean it when I say I went into this thinking I'd be switching to Teachable. But we really surprised when I got into the nitty gritty of it all.
Dale is a Rockstar when it comes to all things self-publishing, we're pumped to have you both on our platform! Enjoy the weekend Dale :) *Rob
@@Thinkific quick question: does your platform allow instructors to add pdfs or png/jpg images to course modules for students to download?
@@heysimmone Yes, you can add downloadable pdfs and jpegs to your lessons.
@@TrishaAdamsArt can you import your slides or is it a standard slide? I'm trying to see how much effort do I need to put into a PowerPoint.
Really great review, Dave! Thank you for taking the time to do this. You da man!
Thanks KC - I'll admit, this whole thing was a 3 month project.
@@Kindlepreneur WOW! That's incredible. Thanks for doing all the research. Much appreciated.
This was amazingly helpful. I like how you broke out all of the features and showed screenshots. Definitely helpful for those of us evaluating the platforms side by side but haven't seen them in action!
Totally helpful with the view of these builders.
This review saves me a lot of time! Great review, Dave!
Awesome and thank you!
I'm having so much trouble with Teachable customer support or lack thereof. From a user stand point, you may want to consider that there is no customer service phone number or person to speak to in times of trouble. Additionally, they rarely respond to emails with questions.
yesss same here!

This was a super helpful video thank you! I've been torn between these two platforms for a month but had been leaning toward Thinkific. You really helped me in my decision with your balanced review.
Thanks and super glad it helped!
Thanks, a perfect video for me to watch today as I was deciding between the two. I am very grateful for your advice. X
Awesome and glad to have helped!
I opened this in RUclips just to say what a clear, well delivered and useful video that was. Thank you.
This is really great. Thanks a lot for the comparison. Helps the decision speed significantly
Dave did a great job with this review. If there's anything we can help with, don't hesitate to reach out.
Appreciate you for putting this video up, helped me to essentially decide as I really was unsure which of the two to choose, especially since I had read an older review with the old course interface/look of Thinkific but after watching this video, I learned that Thinkific has updated theirs, time to try them out! Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Such a clear and detailed structure in comparing. reeeally useful. THANK YOU. Big thumbs up for this
You're very welcome!
Hi thoroughly appreciate your input and this video as I am deciding currently on a platform. Thanks much. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much - you have really helped me with my final decision!
Glad to have helped!
A VERY thorough review that touched on all of my questions. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! You really broke it down and helped me make a decision. Thanks for the visuals as well...super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
You are an Awesomepreneur! Thank you a lot for a detailed and easy understanding comparison. It's a wide web over there filled with options and you are a time saver.
Wow, thank you!
This is a fantastic review! Thank you so much Dave!!
My pleasure!
Thanks! I was just about to sign up for Teachable's free plan - and I had no idea it limits 10 students! That's a deal breaker for me!
Glad it was helpful!
Your comparison video is amazing. Well done. Bravo. Thank you.
Thank you! That really means a lot to hear.
The side-by-side looks great, Dave! Gotta say, I was a little surprised by your findings, but appreciate you doing this. I know which service I'll be using in the future. Thank you-and good luck to your daughter as she returns to college!
Honestly me too. I went into this research thinking I’d be moving over to Teachable but as I dug further it became clear.
@@Kindlepreneur Amazing to hear, Dave!
Well done! Thanks for taking the time to share this wisdom.
Thanks!
Wow - this video sure helped me to understand the differences between the two platforms. Thank you!!!!
Very helpful. Thank you so very much :) Will start with thinkific as i am only new to this but would love to kick it off!
Awesome and glad to have helped!
Great in-depth review mate, really helped! Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
amazing. i subscribed to your channel immediately. Thank you. I'm new at this and WAS overwhelemed. I look forward to watching your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
Brilliant review! Thanks so much for saving us all so much time.
Thanks for this video and info. I'm just getting started with courses and this was a big help
Glad it was helpful!
It definitely was!
Great job. I'm going to go with Thinkific. I had done some reesarch on this, but your overview pushed me over the top. Thank you!
Thank you, this is really helpful to me as I plan where to launch my art classes.
Glad to have helped!
This was so helpful. Thank you for such thorough comparison.
Great video, awesome info! Thank you Dave.
Thanks for the video Dave. One thing I didn't see you mention that you might want to consider is the Uptime of each of the sites as well. I think between the two Thinkific is a better option. I've used the free Thinkific option for a small course and love how easy it is. When I was looking for a platform to launch a major course I was seriously considering using them. I compared them to Click Funnels, Kajabi and others . . . I decided to go with Kajabi at the end of the day because of how easy everything integrates. Yes the plan I have cost double what Thinkific's plan is but Kajabi just seemed to have everything I need and want. They have a Free 28 Day Trail if you're interested.
Thanks for the clarity... Big thumbs up
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Dave! Great info, huge help.
Awesome review! This video is so helpful for me. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much! Super helpful!
OMG this video had so much value for me thank u so so much ! this summer I'll be working on that hihi
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful thank you good sir I needed this 👌🏽
Thanks a lot this was very formative and you didn't take too long to do it
Thanks and that means a lot to hear.
Oh man, I was driving myself crazy about which one I should chose, but now I have a final decision, for sure. A big THANKS for this comparison yo shared!
Glad to help!
Thank you. This was soooo useful and I’m glad I picked Thinkific already. However I have to say that the Teachable comms, (tone of voice, brand personality etc) are so much warmer, friendlier and more attractive than Thinkific. When I was on Teachable I felt like I had found my people. So if Thinkific invested more in copywriting they would be even more fabulous! 😁
Great point
Thank you so much for such an honest and unbiased review! You saved me a lot of time and money!
Glad I could help!
Thanks, Dave. This will be helpful for me in the future.
Awesome and glad to have helped!

Thank you, this was very helpful for me!
Awesome and glad to have helped!
Thank you so much for this video...Much needed for me
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Dave great video good learnings...
Thank you for an efficient video review. My time was not wasted.
Thanks for watching!
Great, helpful video for my decision process. Thanks a lot!
Awesome ! What would you recommend as a cost effective method just for creating a question bank & mock exams with multiple choice answers and explanations, hence no (costly) video lessons ? Not necessarily from these options from the video, any, some advanced quiz builder basically.
Thank you
SO informative. Thank you for this.
You bet and glad to have helped!
amazing helpful video! thank you so much for doing your research and sharing your experience. You are amazing!
Thank you and glad you like it!
Really great review thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I was totally going down one path and you turned me to Thinkific.
Yeah, I actually started my research on that video thinking Teachable would win...go figure.
Thank you for your great review. It helped me a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
This was super-helpful! Thanks so much!
This was actually pretty good and gave me a better idea of which way I want to go. I hadn't even considered Thinkific and just heard about them recently. I was considering Gumroad but now I think I want Thinkific!! Thank you so much!!
Awesome and super glad to have helped!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Bro. I was confused to which and which, but now I took my last last decision. God bless you
Awesome and glad to have helped.
Very useful review, thanks!
Glad you liked it.
That was great! Thank you!
This was extremely helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What an excellent overview! Thanks, Dave.
Thanks Frank and glad you liked it. It took me WAY to many hours to figure them both out, and test things and research it all. So, super glad it was useful.
@@Kindlepreneur Dave, I had the basic Teachable but never got to use it. Have the free one now but I'm rethinking. What do you think of using Wishlist and Word?
@@FrankDaley what's Wishlist?
@@heysimmone Wishlist is/was a site that offered you many kinds of memberships (12 think). I believe it still operates under new ownership. Google it for an update.
Thank you very much for this video! It's very clear and specific. I was about to go with teachable (never heard of thinkific before). Teachable was my first choice because they handle the European VAT (I'm in France). But the features of thinkific seems better to my business, especially the quizzes options, video integration... Also, I just created an account after watching your video. I find thinkific more intuitive than teachable. If I definitely go with thinkific (which will be the case I think), I'll use Quaderno to handle the European VAT.
That's awesome and glad to have helped. Let me know how Quaderno goes as a process. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
This is a good point. If your potential students have also never heard of Thinkific, how likely are they to choose something else?
Thank you so much for the valuable info.
Glad to have helped!
This review was excellent, 10/10...thanks bro 👊🏼🧡🌱
Glad you enjoyed it
This was really helpful, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much, this saved me so much timeeee
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much! Love this! New sub. I appreciate it and you!!
Awesome and glad you enjoyed!
Thank you, Great comparison
You're welcome!
AHHHH Thank you for that!!! I've been dragging my heels on creating my online course simply because I didn't know which to pick! Any chance you have a kajabi comparison? Thanks either way!!!
I hadnt because it's very expensive and sort of in a class of its own.
So was I. I'm clear now.
So I've been with Kajabi for almost a year and I'm about to switch to Thinkific. It's just been way overpriced and too bulky. The only reason I would suggest it is if it's going to be your all in one website, email, course, memberships, coachings, etc.
I use Kajabi and love it!! It does everything! Your analysis is interesting.
I’ve heard great things about them but focused on these two because of pricing and the limited number of students.
@@Kindlepreneur You're right where the price point is concerned. I, too, had considered the other two programs. Thanks for responding!
@@gailcassidy Absolutely and thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you! Great video!!
Glad you liked it!
Super helpful video. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Good comparison - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a million.Because of your comparison video on teachable n thinkific.I found my own way to create my own courses.Thinkific is really suitable as specially for newbie.It helps a lot without any confusions.You have given so big value in this video.Thanks again.
Awesome and glad you liked it.
Thank you so much! I think I'll go with Thinkific :)
Awesome and glad to have helped!
Thank you! Is an excelent review
Glad it was helpful!
There's a BIG draw back to thinkific, that is, if you make a particular video in your course a free preview, people will still have to sign up in order to watch it, where with teachable, people can still watch it without having to sign up, just like Udemy. A temporary solution is to add/embed the video in the sales page itself so people can watch it. I have reached out to thinkific about this, but haven't heard back from them yet.
Great point. I’ve embedded some of the videos elsewhere too like in Guest posts and on my website.
Thank you! Great inf.
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, that was very helpful to me 😉
Thank you!
it helped me very much!
Glad it helped!
Amazing review - was going to go with Teachable but their 720p video resolution limit is UNBELIEVABLE in 2020! Glad Thinkific does 4k for future-proofing, even if it's still only 2gb/file
That is a great point as well!
Thanks a lot, Dave, it helps to understand those platforms bettet and I really loved your updated January 2022 article (highly recommend others to check it out). I still have questions on what Thinkific is like in their free version and comparing the starter packages for both. E.g. surveys and feedback is very important to me and analytics as well. But I donno how many people would buy my course. Also wonder can one export reports & surveys as well as students replies (say if there is a homework task). My course is on a therapy /counselling method and privacy also is important if people share their practice with the method or personal experience. Wonder what platform is best for that or would it rather make sense to use FB or telegram for the group tasks (I am not a FB fan lately). I suspect at first single students would come one by one watching on-demand and at some point it might be group work within a specific launch in the future.
Maybe since you've done research and have some b-roll you can make a video specifically for newbies who are working on the 1st course, comparing these platforms (free & basic plan)? Pros & cons, solutions :)
Good review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Very useful!

This is so helpful! Thanks so much! 😊😊😊
Glad to have helped!
New style looks more "professional" (cleaner background, standing, button-down shirt) but I liked the old style better (stuff in the background, sitting, Kindlepreneur t-shirt). If you're still aiming at authors I'd go back to the old style, but if you are broadening your horizons, go for the new version. Either way, the quality and editing were great, as usual. Good job Dave with the info and your video editor is fabulous!
Thanks Beth. Actually, the stuff is still there, but the light that I had that caused the glow and the ability to see it broken. I've ordered a new one (luckily they are cheap). And thanks - that means a lot to hear. I'm going to miss my little editor :(
This was awesome. Thank you. With Thinkific do I need to create my slides via PowerPoint BEFORE starting or do they have default slides?
I'm not sure. I just develop my own and then record and then edit. Once I have that, i upload my videos.
Gosh this saved me so much time! Gracias!!! :)
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the tutorial. Can I ask your suggestion on what would be the best source to learn about how to build an Online Course(From scratch; Video recording of it, content planning etc.)? If there is any tutorial or article etc. that you used yourself or you suggest that would be great. Best,
VERY helpful, thank you!
