Synergy Education Platform vs Teachable

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for all K-12 education systems that are looking for effective ways to improve and streamline their information. It would not be as useful for a college or a university system as it does not have the complexity needed in order to carry out all of the specific functions that a university system would need.

Teachable should be banned from advertising that they have an unlimited plan. This is untrue and we were not the first to be given an ultimatum of paying their ransom or having all of our students be kicked off. I'm sure we won't be the last.

They FALSELY ADVERTISE their services.
They kicked us off their "unlimited" plan b/c we were using serving too many downloads?
They were terribly rude, cursing at us, threatening us, deleting our forum questions.
They have no unlimited plan and need to be sued in a court of law for their misleadings.

Thinkific is light years beyond Teachable. Thinkific is wonderful. Their UI is better. They have much better customer service and don't falsely advertise their services. Teachable is the opposite of everything good.

We were out the money and time of loading all courses onto Teachable, paying their fees, and then having to scramble to transfer thousands of students to another platform and pay all the setups again.
