About Teachable
Teachable is one of the most popular course platforms with 100,000+ creators and $1B+ in student purchases. The course builder is straightforward — upload video, add quizzes, publish. Teachable handles hosting, payments, and certificates. The free plan charges 10% transaction fees. Paid plans ($39-119/month) reduce or eliminate fees. Teachable Pay handles payouts to instructors. The coaching product adds 1:1 session booking. Compare to Kajabi (more all-in-one, more expensive), Thinkific (similar, no transaction fees on free plan). Best for: side hustle creators who want to launch their first course quickly with minimal setup.
