Overall Satisfaction with Thinkific
I've found that Thinkific is the best-priced e-learning platform for my needs. I use it for my online art school and I love how everything works seamlessly. I use ClickFunnels to sell my courses and then make a connection to Thinkific through Zapier. To me, it's been the only choice, it allows me to keep track of all my students, their progress, enrollments, etc. Also I love I can just upload my video lessons directly in Thinkific without having to pay for Vimeo. I really like the look of the platform as well, it's very clean and neat. Thinkific basically solved all my e-learning needs.
- The price for the basic tier is very good compared to other platforms and what you get in it.
- The look and feel of the site is simply beautiful, even if I'm allowed to customize to certain extent, they maintain things very neat.
- Allowing to upload videos directly to the platform is a lifesaver.
- I would add some more blocks for page design to have more options as to what I can do, like a proper gallery where you can open and close images.
- I would expand the text options within specific blocks, like being able to hit enter inside a text box and having my paragraphs separated if I wanted to.
- Adding new integrations would be awesome, so you don't have to pass through Zapier. Maybe a ClickFunnels integration?
- The price is fair. Basic tier is $49/month or $39/month payed annually, and it has all you need to get your online school all set and making money.
- As I said before, direct video uploading to the lessons is awesome. Definitely the best for my type of school, which is all done in video.
- Being able to connect it to my ClickFunnels account through Zapier. If I couldn't do this, I would not use Thinkific, period.
- As a startup school, it was hard at first. Even paying $49 a month makes it hard when you don't have students. They do have the Free tier, although it lacks quite a bit of stuff to actually make it work.
- The free lessons should be controlled better. With this I mean that someone has to make an account in your platform to watch a free lesson, and it fills up the platform with unwanted traffic. I would not ask for an account to watch a lesson.
- It's been great to not have to worry about students while they work through the lessons. The platform works so well by itself that it allows you time to do other things.
ClickFunnels is great for funnels, but as of now, it does not do well with e-learning. Maybe they'll change that in ClickFunnels 2.0. But for now, I use Thinkific because I need a place where the students can come into their own dashboard, find all the courses they have purchased on a single place and be able to track their progress.
