Appx vs Teachable (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Appx if

• Fits if you teach in India and want your own app
• Works for test-series and exam-prep sellers

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a listed price, as none is published
• Not for you if you sell outside India, as the site quotes earnings in rupees
• Watch out: the security page marks one part of its protection system as work in progress
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is on record

Pick Teachable if

• Fits if your students are in many countries and you don't want to deal with VAT yourself
• Works for schools whose students learn on their phones, with apps on every plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if an active community is the point, since it's a student community on Builder at most
• Tight if you want certificates or a second admin, which need Growth at $139 a month
• Pricey if you stay on Starter once sales pick up, as 7.5% of every sale goes to Teachable
• Watch out: products are capped at 5, 10 and 50 by plan
• Watch out: there's no free plan, only a 7-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee

Appx

• Certificates, removing Teachable branding and more than 1 admin user all need Growth at $139 a month billed annually.
