Teachable
A hosted online course platform — build a course or coaching product, sell it and deliver lessons without running your own site.
Pricing

What it is
Skool
A community feed, a course library and an events calendar under one roof, with points and levels for participation. Members get one app to open rather than a course site plus a chat group.
Teachable
Upload lessons, set a price, share a link. Teachable handles checkout, the student area and progress tracking, and can bundle coaching calls alongside the course.
Best for
Skool
Coaches running group programmes or paid communities where engagement between calls is the product.
Teachable
Coaches testing their first digital product who want something cheaper and narrower than an all-in-one suite.
Watch out for
Skool
The look is fixed; you get very little control over branding. The gamification suits some audiences and feels off for others — know which yours is.
Teachable
Check the transaction fees on the plan you pick — they matter more than the monthly price at low volume. Email marketing and community are lighter than on the all-in-ones.
Editorial comparison — nothing here is paid placement. Pricing changes often; treat the vendor’s own page as the truth. How we review
