Our verdict
Teachable is a US site builder aimed at small businesses and enterprise teams, and its entry price of $39 is several times the €13.15 median across the site listings. A free trial of 7 days is the entry route instead, so billing starts early in the journey.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Teachable cost to start?+
Entry pricing on Teachable starts at $39, and the e-commerce plan is also listed at $39. There is no free plan, so a trial is the only way to look before paying. That entry figure sits above the €13.15 median across the site listings.
Does Teachable have a free plan?+
Free plan: no. Teachable does not publish a free tier, and its pricing model centres on a free trial instead (free trial). The trial runs 7 days, so building and publishing a site at no cost is not part of the offer.
What are the transaction fees on Teachable?+
Transaction fees on Teachable run 0% to 7.5%, which is a wide band rather than a flat rate. Sellers should plan for the higher end, because the site median for this field is 0%. That makes checkout costs harder to forecast than a fixed charge.
How long is the free trial?+
The trial lasts 7 days and it is the way Teachable onboards new accounts, since the model is listed as free trial. Because there is no free plan, the trial is the only window to test the builder and its checkout flow before a subscription starts.
Who is Teachable aimed at?+
Teachable serves small business and enterprise, so the same pricing table has to work for a solo seller and a larger organisation. The product is a full site builder, listed under site, which suits anyone whose business needs pages beyond a landing page.
What support does Teachable offer?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre. That means email, chat, a help centre and a community, which covers most questions a small business raises after launch. A reader who wants a phone line will not find one listed, since the channel set does not include it.
Where is Teachable based?+
Teachable is headquartered in the United States and the legal entity behind the terms is Teachable, Inc.. Pricing is quoted in the US currency, so buyers outside the country should expect the figure to convert at their own rate. Buyers in Uruguay or West Africa may prefer a local quote.
How does the entry price compare with other site builders?+
On price from, Teachable ranks 162 of 199 in the comparison, and the entry figure of $39 sits well above the €13.15 median. Cheaper options such as Ko-fi at $12 sit near the lower end of the same table.
