Teachable is one of the longest-running dedicated course platforms and is built around selling to a global audience: it acts as merchant of record, handling payments and sales tax in the countries your students buy from, which is work most creators would otherwise do themselves.
Its pricing carries the pattern this whole category turns on. The entry plan is cheap but charges a percentage of every sale, and the next plan up removes that fee entirely. Which is cheaper depends on how much you sell, and the crossover arrives earlier than most creators expect.
Teachable was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in New York, United States.
