How we grade them
| 2.4GPATeachableFair | 2.2GPATeacheryFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | C$470 a year, about $39 a month, with every feature and no fee on sales, so $2,000 of sales costs $39 a month: the middle of this category. There's also a $950 lifetime deal, about two years of the yearly plan, marked limited time. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. With one plan, there's nothing cheaper to start on. |
| Features | 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. | CLessons with embeds, drip or completion unlocking, hubs for memberships and coaching, deep design control, sales pages with upsells and bundles, and affiliates. It does the course job, but the listing shows no quizzes, no built-in email and only lesson comments for community. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo App Store rating on record. The editor autosaves and there are style files and Canva templates, but you're still designing pages and a checkout. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb, with Zapier, Make, Pabbly Connect, Canva, Kit, Mailchimp, MailerLite and Flodesk. No mobile apps: students take courses in a browser. |
| Best for | selling courses to students around the world | a course that looks like your brand, at one price |
