Teachable

Online Course Platforms

Teachable is an online course platform that lets creators build, host, and sell educational content, coaching, and digital downloads under their own brand. Instructors upload videos, text, quizzes, and other materials, organize them into structured courses, and manage students, pricing, and payments from a single dashboard. It is aimed at independent educators, subject-matter experts, coaches, and small businesses in the creator economy who want to monetize knowledge without building software themselves. Features include customizable course pages, sales and checkout tools, coupons and order bumps, student progress tracking, affiliate marketing, and integrations with email and analytics services. Founded in 2013 and based in New York, Teachable was acquired by the Brazilian company Hotmart in 2020 and continues to operate as its own brand. It offers a free plan for getting started along with paid subscription tiers that lower transaction fees and unlock more advanced selling and customization tools.

The platform serves students, working professionals, and organizations pursuing career advancement or academic credit. Its strengths lie in accredited partnerships, structured learning paths, university-issued certificates, and degree programs that carry the weight of established institutions rather than independent instructors alone.
