Why creators switch from Teachable
Too expensive to get started
Teachable's lowest paid plan is $49/month. For creators just starting out, that's a significant investment before earning a single dollar. Course.link lets you launch for free and upgrade only when you need more features.
Overwhelming feature set
Teachable packs dozens of features that most creators never use. Course.link focuses on what matters: a clean course site, student progress tracking, and getting paid. Nothing extra to confuse you.
Transaction fees eat into revenue
Teachable charges a 5% transaction fee on their starter plan on top of payment processing fees. Course.link's Pro plan has zero transaction fees at just $12/month.
Who is Course.link best for?
