Thinkific

Overall Satisfaction with Thinkific

I use Thinkific to create online self-paced courses for those that are interested in learning the content I teach. Thinkific helps me by bringing many different tools into a central location. I am able to easily upload my teaching content. The website is intuitive and well laid out. The ability to have a landing page and website created from my course content keeps things efficient. Additionally, Thinkific integrates with Kit, which is my email client, and the payment portal setup has been easy to navigate.

Pros

  • Integration with other platforms such as Kit, Stripe, and Paypal
  • Landing pages and website pages are generated using course content.
  • Being able to bundle products, provide discount codes, and keep track of students and their progress.

Cons

  • The original price was good, but with new features (that I don't need) it is starting to get expensive.
  • The payment fees can be a bit steep
  • It would be nice if some features like certificates were available for the lower tiers.
  • Thinkific makes it easy for people to register and pay for a product.
  • The website and landing page features make it easy to look and feel like my website.
  • Being able to connect to my domain makes it more legitimate.
The site is fairly intuitive. I only had to watch a few tutorials. They have done a good job of setting up the creator user experience.
I think Thinkific has better value for money, especially if you are creating courses on your own. Once you get to the point where you need multiple people managing the site, it can get expensive.

Do you think Thinkific delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Thinkific's feature set?

Yes

Did Thinkific live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Thinkific go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Thinkific again?

Yes

I started with Thinkific a few years ago, so the features were limited. They have come a long way with integrating other services directly into the platform. For example, the payment gateway has been set up so you don't need to use Stripe anymore. They have added in AI features and now they have started to do email campaigns directly in the platform.
