How we grade them
| 2.2GPAGraphyFair | 2.4GPATeachableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CLaunch is $449 a year, about $37 a month, and US plans take 0% of sales, so $2,000 of sales costs $37 a month: the middle of this category. The payment gateway's own fee still applies. | CStarter is $29 a month billed yearly, but its 7.5% fee adds $150 on $2,000 of sales, making $179. Builder at $69 takes no fee with Teachable Payments, so $69 a month is what you'd pay: above this category's dearer quarter ($59), well short of its dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. | CNo free plan. There's a 7-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card, then a 30-day money-back guarantee once you've paid. |
| Features | CCourses with quizzes, assignments and certificates, memberships, coaching, downloads, live classes and webinars for up to 500, email campaigns, affiliates and an AI website builder. The gap: no community or discussion space in the listing. | CCourses with drip, quizzes and graded short answers, coaching, downloads, memberships, upsells, cart recovery and email. The course job is covered; the gap is community, which is a student community on Builder rather than the spaces and events rivals offer. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. The AI website builder sets up your site from a description, which helps, but there's still a course and a store to build. | B4.62 from about 9,400 App Store ratings, a little under the 4.7 an A needs. The AI course starter drafts a curriculum, so you're not starting from a blank page. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, plus branded iPhone and Android apps from Rise up, with Stripe, Zoom, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Pabbly and Vimeo. API on Scale. No desktop app, which an A needs. | BWeb, iPhone and Android for students, with Zapier and webhooks on every plan and a public API on Growth. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | a course site and branded app built for you | selling courses to students around the world |
