Comparison — from the record, 2026-08-31
Teachable vs Thinkific: one bills you in dollars wherever you live
OUR PICK
Our pick: Thinkific — it bills in your own currency and its annual rate of £34 a month is the lowest genuine entry price of the two.
Thinkific's Basic tier is £46 billed monthly but £34 a month billed annually, and it quotes that in local currency rather than dollars. Teachable's Starter is $39 and it is the same dollar figure whether you buy from New York, London or Berlin.
The other way: Teachable is the better answer if the monthly commitment matters more than the annual saving, or if you prefer its creator tooling. Compare the monthly figures directly — $39 against £46 — and ignore the annual column.
How to read this page: every number below was read from the vendor’s own public pricing page on the date shown, and the pages are re-checked daily. Currencies differ because that is what each vendor showed an EU visitor. Some links on this page are affiliate links — if you subscribe through one we earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Per
our method, that never changes a number or a verdict. Source links always point to the vendor’s plain page.
The two pricing pages, side by side
These two are not quoted in the same currency. Teachable is priced in USD and Thinkific in GBP, as each page showed it to us. Figures below are what each vendor charges, not a conversion — ranking them against each other depends on the rate your bank applies, and paying in a foreign currency usually adds a fee on top.

Source: https://teachable.com/pricing · read 2026-08-31 (UTC) · Three published tiers, and unusually the page shows both billing figures on the same card — the monthly rate and the annual equivalent with 'Billed annually' beneath it — so nothing has to be clicked to compare them. Annual saves 25.6% on Starter, 22.5% on Builder and 26.5% on Growth, and the page advertises no single headline percentage, which is consistent with the savings differing by tier.

What the record says
Start with the billing unit, because it decides more here than the feature lists do. Thinkific publishes both a monthly rate and an annual rate: £46 a month if you pay monthly, £34 a month if you pay for the year. Teachable publishes one figure, $39, and we found no annual discount on its page.
The second difference is currency. Thinkific quoted local money in every market we read — £46 to a UK visitor and €53 in the eurozone. Teachable quoted $39 in the United States and the identical dollar figure in the United Kingdom and the eurozone. A non-US buyer therefore also pays whatever conversion their bank applies to Teachable, and nothing to Thinkific.
Up the ladder the shapes are similar but the steps are not. Teachable runs $39, $89 and $189. Thinkific runs £46, £92 and £186, each with its own annual rate, and a Plus tier priced on application.
The thing neither ladder shows is the transaction fee, and it is the number that decides this for anyone actually selling. Teachable's cheaper plans take a percentage of each sale on top of the subscription; Thinkific charges no transaction fee on its paid plans. At a low volume that is invisible. At a high one it dwarfs the difference between $39 and £46.
Beyond the price tag
Monthly against annual
Thinkific Basic is £46 monthly or £34 a month on the annual term; Start is £92 or £69; Grow is £186 or £139. Teachable published a single figure per tier.
What currency you are billed in
Thinkific: $54 in the United States, £46 in the United Kingdom, €53 in the eurozone — three separate prices. Teachable: $39, $39 and $39 were the same dollar figure.
The fee that is not on either ladder
Teachable takes a share of each sale on its cheaper plans; Thinkific takes none on paid plans. Neither appears in the tables below because neither vendor prints it as a plan price, and it is the number that decides this comparison once you are actually selling.
Questions people actually search
Which is cheaper, Teachable or Thinkific?
On the monthly figure in this market, $39 against £46. On the annual term Thinkific drops to £34 a month, which is the lower of the two. Neither figure includes transaction fees.
Does Teachable charge in my currency?
Not in any market we read. It quoted the same dollar figure to the United States, the United Kingdom and the eurozone, so a non-US card also pays its bank's conversion.
Is there an annual discount?
From Thinkific, yes: £34 a month against £46. We found none published on Teachable's page.
What about transaction fees?
Teachable takes a percentage of each sale on its cheaper plans. Thinkific charges no transaction fee on paid plans. Neither is a plan price, so neither appears in the ladders, but for a seller it is usually the larger number.
THE VERDICT, ONE MORE TIME
Our pick: Thinkific — it bills in your own currency and its annual rate of £34 a month is the lowest genuine entry price of the two.
Thinkific's Basic tier is £46 billed monthly but £34 a month billed annually, and it quotes that in local currency rather than dollars. Teachable's Starter is $39 and it is the same dollar figure whether you buy from New York, London or Berlin.
Both ladders were read from Teachable's and Thinkific's own pricing pages in the market this edition covers, on the dates shown beside each table. Figures marked for another country were read from that country on the same day. Transaction fees are not plan prices and are not in the tables; they are described above. The method →
