Teachable courses and coachings
With Teachable you need to create the courses from scratch. Unlike Thinkific and Kajabi, it doesn’t offer course templates.
When it comes to course content, it supports –
- Text
- Files
- Quizzes
- Code examples
- Custom codes – HTML, CSS, and Javascript content
- Upsells
Unlike tools like LearnWorlds, it doesn’t support Adobe Captivate & Articulate Storyline files.
Teachable supports bulk uploading and cloud import features. To motivate the students to complete the courses, it gives course completion certificates. For student engagement, for each lecture, you have a comments feature.
When it comes to the pricing plan, you have:
- Free plan
- One-time purchase
- Payment plans
- Subscriptions
Teachable allows you to sell the courses in various currencies. This helps you reach the global audience and increase sales.
You can also offer free or paid trials on the subscription plans to increase the conversions.
Teachable gives very few customization options to design your courses and the school.
Unlike Kajabi, there are no pre-made site themes available.
But to design the course page, it gives 3 templates.
- Teachable Classic
- Colossal
- Simple
On the higher plans, you will get access to the power editor (similar to the code editor in Kajabi).
Let’s discuss coachings in Teachable.
With Teachable you can offer 1:1 coaching sessions to your students. You can also add coaching as upsell in courses. This motivates students to get coaching services as they get more value in the sessions.
For each coaching, Teachable has milestones that outline the things to discuss. This helps students (or users) get an idea about the next coaching sessions. You can sell your coaching products for a free, one-time purchase, subscriptions, or payment plans.
Memberships and community
Teachable doesn’t come with dedicated memberships feature. Instead, you can use its course bundling feature to sell memberships.
For course bundling, you need to add one parent course and then add the child course.
To sell the bundles, you need to set the bundle pricing for the main parent product itself.
When it comes to pricing, it is the same as that of course pricing.
Communities:
Teachable doesn’t support communities, unlike tools like Thinkific. If you need a community component, you need to integrate it with community platforms like Circle.so.
To make login easier for students, there is a single sign-on feature available, which means you can login to Circle.so using Teachable’s credentials.
Design and customization 🎨
Teachable has a basic page builder to design your course pages, landing pages, thank you pages, etc.
To increase the conversions, you can add testimonials, FAQs, guarantee badges, etc.
Teachable supports custom domain and sub-domains. You can connect your own domain and start selling the courses.
Unlike Thinkific, Teachable is not a completely white-labeled solution. Even if you use custom domains, the checkout page and some others still have “teachable” in the domain name.
Sales and marketing 💰
Teachable offers basic marketing features like coupons, free previews, pre-selling, free trials, etc.
When it comes to payment processing, Teachable has its own native payment gateways – Teachable Payments & the Monthly Payment Gateway.
For students, it supports credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay®, and Google Pay™.
The best thing is Teachable handles all the VAT/EU taxes and it handles complex payments as well (for this you need to have Back office service enabled).
