It made it easy to create and sell online courses without needing a lot of technical knowledge, thanks to the clean, user-friendly course builder with drag-and-drop features. The downside is that the lower-tier plans include transaction fees.

No live chat, tickets are handled on an obscure in-house system where you have no idea if they saw your issue or when they will answer.

Teachable has also helped me to sell my courses with a built-in payment option which makes it easier to perform the transaction.
