Teachable vs Thinkific
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Teachablesite ↗pricing ↗
A platform for building and selling online courses, handling hosting, payments and student management. Paid plans start at $39/mo (Starter); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $189/mo (Growth). We read the same $39/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion. Its cheaper plans take a cut of every sale on top of the subscription — the flat price is not the whole price.
Thinkificsite ↗pricing ↗
A course platform for creators and businesses selling their own teaching, with communities and bundles alongside courses. Paid plans start at €53/mo (Basic); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at €213/mo (Grow). It bills by country — entry $54/mo to a US reader and £46/mo to a UK reader, from our same-day reads. Charges no transaction fee on paid plans, which is the number to weigh against a cheaper rival that does.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Teachable at $39/mo, against Thinkific at €53/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Teachable tops out at $189/mo, Thinkific at €213/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Teachable: We read the same $39/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
- Thinkific: It bills by country — entry $54/mo to a US reader and £46/mo to a UK reader, from our same-day reads.
