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.
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.
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.
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.
I ended up going with Thinkific because they have an integrated discussion board which is a real plus for me. That and they don't charge a transaction fee. I appreciate your review!
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! 😁
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 :(
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!
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.
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?
@@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.
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!
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
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!!!
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'll remember this as I'm creating my new course. I've been with Kajabi for a year and it's just way overpriced and too bulky. Thinking about going with Thinkific now!
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
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!!
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,
Great video, thank you! On the thinkific pricing plans, what does 5, 10 or 20 spaces per community mean? Does that mean each course i make will only be available to that number of participants? any ideas?
Your video answered my questions as I too am using free courses. I don't want to pay for something that I'm giving away and at this point I don't need access to unlimited courses moreso than access to unlimited students. Because I'm in the building stage for this part of my business that helped pushed me over to choosing Thinkific's free plan until I am ready to scale. First time seeing you, I'm glad I did.
Well done! A fair comparison by any standard. I can easily see how for most people, Thinkific works best, while those corporate clients with large dollars and programmers on staff would prefer teachable. Dave, I have your KDP rocket for my books on Amazon and it has help tremendously. In your 'true and simply put' style, THANK YOU for another great video to help me make a decision .. it is Thinkific for me. After several months of seeing your videos, Dave, and the way you present things-- You are the 'real deal.' Thank you for the assistance and all the best to you, my friend.
Wow thank you so so much, you really helped me, I was postponing course creation because I simply had no idea how to do it. Now I am ready to take the leap and create my courses and sell them. Question : Does Thinkify integrate with Shopify ? I would love to create a course and upsell some physical products as well, thank you again !
Great video as always Dave. And ya...the “Video Editor” did an awesome job. I like the new format, HOWEVER, I did miss the geeky memorabilia in the background that was a cool touch. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do for the author community.
Kindlepreneur One more question please does teachable have a free version you can use and if so what are the pros and cons Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am unable to see any courses on thinkific, teachable and kajabi. Im only seeing info for CREATING courses. Why am I unable to see what course there are to choose from as a student who is looking to learn content.
Interesting.... I was recently also looking at Kajabi but I decided to stick with Thrive Apprentice (based on customization, look, and price) for round one.
To me Kajabi was more expensive and didn't incorporate what I wanted. Thrive was a potential though, but there were a couple of things that were off-putting with it.
@@DaringChinchilla Well first off, I'm not a fan of plugins or those that you need to install - it ends up putting a larger load on the website itself, and site speed is important to me since I operate under a lot of SEO practices which has helped to grow Kindlepreneur to over 200k visitors per month - but I'll admit I'm very sensitive to site speed. It also doesn't do Video Hosting, which means I'd either need to use RUclips (highly unprofessional looking) or another one like YT but again, comes with professional issues, or restraints (or ads...ick). There is Wistia (which is amazing) but they are super expensive.
@@Kindlepreneur These are all good points and I agree, your site is wicked SEO`ed :-) Hosting it on YT would be SUPER unprofessional. Imagine paying for, then going to watch a course and it throws ads at you :-(. I'm using Vimeo but that's also not free. I'll definitely consider Thinkific for my course in round two of the launch.
@@DaringChinchilla Actually one little hack that I LOVE about Thinkific that I didn't say in the video is that the videos through them are hosted on Wistia. And, there is a way where you can load a video through your course player and pull the code so that you can play your video somewhere else...like on your site, or as a lead magnet video, etc. :)
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.

I opened this in RUclips just to say what a clear, well delivered and useful video that was. Thank you.
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!
@@spanishandthefrog2673 q
Thank you very much! This was so helpful
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!
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.
I ended up going with Thinkific because they have an integrated discussion board which is a real plus for me. That and they don't charge a transaction fee. I appreciate your review!
Awesome, and glad to have helped!
Absolutely Tricha, that's definitely a win!
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
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.

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!
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!
Thinkific also has a Shopify integration. So if you already have a Shopify store they’ll automatically enroll students. They have communities as well
I am going to try Thinkific.Teachable giving only ten student option in the free plan kind of stops market testing early.Great video .I like the style
Yeah, exactly - not much of a free package.
Hi Dr. Amita, excited to hear how your doing with your course on Thinkific. If there's anything we can help with, please let us know :) *Rob
That was my concern too. I can't beta test my course with that small group.
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.
Really great review, Dave! Thank you for taking the time to do this. You da man!
