Overall Satisfaction with Teachable

We used Teachable to serve downloads for our course bundle. We used the "Unlimited Everything" plan, but got a call from Cameron of Teachable business support almost immediately after our launch, letting us know that we were using too much of their "unlimited" plan. We were consequently blackmailed and told that we could hand over a PERCENTAGE OF OUR PROFITS, or we would be kicked off Teachable. We were straight up harassed by the owner, who was messaging us, cursing at us, deleting our posts off forums, etc. We chose to move to another platform that has had no problem with our business and has great customer service, as opposed to Teachable, which we will never work with again and absolutely wouldn't recommend to anyone.
  • Nothing
  • 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.
  • 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.
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.

Do you think Teachable delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Teachable's feature set?

No

Did Teachable live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Teachable go as expected?

No

Would you buy Teachable again?

No

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.
