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

Pick LearningSuite if

• Fits if you run training for clients or staff
• Works for premium service providers who want an app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a listed price or a trial, as there is neither
• Not for you if you want an open course marketplace, since it targets training clients
• Watch out: the vendor says it works with selected companies only
• Watch out: you can only see it in a demo call

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

LearningSuite

• No price is published and there is no free trial; the vendor says you can only see it in a demo call.

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