What FTS knows so far
Teachable is a solid, mature pick for individual creators and small education businesses who want an all-in-one hosted course storefront without managing infrastructure. For India: subscription billing is in USD only (no native INR plan pricing), but Indian creators can accept INR payments and generate GST-compliant invoices by connecting Razorpay or Stripe, and can sell globally in USD/EUR. Caveat: there is no free plan, only a 7-day trial, and the entry Starter tier charges a 7.5% platform transaction fee on top of payment-processor fees, so factor total take rate before committing. Verify the latest pricing and India tax/payout specifics on the official pricing page before onboarding.
FTS has not completed editorial review for this listing yet. Treat it as a discovery lead, not a recommendation.

Cons

- Not a full corporate/academic LMS (limited SCORM/xAPI, SSO, and deep compliance features)
- Higher-tier and enterprise pricing is less transparent and may require annual billing or sales contact
Source trail and verification gaps
This listing needs deeper editorial review. Use the source trail to decide whether it is worth investigating.
Verified June 2026 from the official pricing page (teachable.com/pricing). Creator plans (monthly billing): Starter $39/mo (7.5% platform transaction fee), Builder $89/mo (0% platform fee), Growth $189/mo (0% platform fee), plus a Custom tier (contact sales). Annual billing is roughly 22% cheaper: Starter $29/mo, Builder $69/mo, Growth $139/mo. All paid plans include a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee; there is no free plan. Separately, payment-processor fees apply (e.g., Stripe/PayPal). Pricing is quoted in USD; there is no native INR subscription pricing. Note: third-party reviews cite a higher annual-only "Advanced" tier (~$309/mo) not clearly shown on the main pricing page, and the page also lists Enterprise tiers (Core $6,000/yr, Pro $12,000/yr, Enterprise custom). Figures change frequently, so confirm current numbers and any India-specific tax/payout terms on the official pricing page before relying on them.
Still needs checking
- Current pricing model and usage limits
- Integration depth for the buyer workflow
- Security, privacy, support, and procurement fit
- Whether it is mature enough for non-technical teams
