Kept 100% of sales the first month

Teachable's transaction fees were eating into every launch. On Graphy we ship faster, pay nothing per sale, and our students finally have a real app.

Why Creators Are Looking For
Teachable Alternatives

Creators share why Teachable's transaction fees, dated design, and slim feature set made them switch.

Transaction fees bled my margin

Teachable takes 5% on their starter plan. Across 1,000 sales that's a salary. Their own blog tells you to upgrade, which is really a tax on success.

Course design looks stuck in time

The player, themes, and pages all look like a 2015 SaaS template. Students kept asking if we built it ourselves in WordPress.

No real analytics

Teachable's reports barely tell me which lessons students drop off at. On a platform priced like a Netflix subscription, that's unacceptable.

Checkout is brutal on mobile

International buyers abandon because checkout doesn't localize currency. Support told me to use a third party. For what I'm paying, that's absurd.

Scaling cost me a fortune

Going from Basic to Business doubled my bill overnight just to unlock basic reporting. The unlock ladder is designed to squeeze you as you grow.

No native mobile app

Students constantly asked for an app. Teachable's answer is 'use the mobile browser'. I switched, got a branded app in 24 hours, and watchtime tripled.

Transaction fees

Up to 5% of every sale goes to Teachable, on top of your subscription.

Dated design

Themes and course player feel years behind what learners expect in 2026.

Course-only focus

Memberships, webinars, community, and coaching are either missing or bolted on.

Shallow analytics

Basic reports only, with deeper insights locked to the highest plans.

Expensive scaling

Every meaningful upgrade forces you up a tier, often doubling your monthly bill.

The big problem with
teachable

While Teachable is a great tool for creating courses & digital downloads, but when it comes to selling your courses & engaging your users, they fall a bit short.

Here's the catch:

  • You cannot customize your landing pages
  • You cannot launch branded apps
  • You cannot have built-in community
  • You cannot run automated email marketing campaigns
  • You do not get dedicated customer support

Here's the truth: Teachable taxes your success.

Responsive Team

I can save a pet's life, I don't know how to build tech platforms. That's why I appreciate the Graphy team — they were accessible, responsive, and helped troubleshoot every step.

Everything In One Place

With AI Avatar, I realized I could literally build myself into their phones. It's my way of being there — even when I can't. And I'm not a tech person, I'm a teacher. Graphy lets me stay that way.

Graphy Helps You Grow

I was spending money, but the platform never checked if I needed help. I couldn't figure out the tech. My work stayed locked in my laptop. When I joined Graphy, I was paired with a real human coach. For the first time, tech wasn't the barrier… it was the bridge.

Brilliant Platform

From sales right through to design and follow-up Graphy were brilliant. It was easy to get connected and the service was always excellent. I am so happy I chose Graphy that I have placed a second business website with them as well.
