Thinkific

This is where I have my courses

Comentarios: Anytime I have a problem their tech support is great. And I haven't had any tech problems with the platform - my students are happy and use it easily.

Puntos a favor:

When I was researching all the different software for course hosting, I liked that this had a place to upload documents in the discussions. That might be really important for people teaching code or other products. Then I'm glad I choose this one because others take a % of income AND you have to wait longer for money.

Puntos en contra:

The layout isn't as clean and modern as others - I'm hoping that will be updated at some point. It's a little ugly.

Alternativas consideradas: Teachable

Razones para cambiar a Thinkific: Thinkific had the ability to upload docs in the discussion area of courses. And doesn't charge a transaction fee.

Suitable For All Levels

Comentarios: Thinkific has been perfect as a solution for my starting an online training product that also has spreadsheet tools included. My experience has been great. I have only once had to contact support and it turns out it was my error that was causing a visual issue, which was soon easily corrected, once I saw my error. They were quick to spot what I'd done and let me know.

Puntos a favor:

That it's really comprehensive, yet still has a free to low-cost entry-level option. It's easy to use and looks visually great too with its customisable interface options. Oh and I love that you can i-frame other websites and URL's into your courses (this is great for spreadsheets and websites) - it saves a lot of time and energy, and updating! Oh, and it has / had a low payment processing fee structure.

Puntos en contra:

I haven't hit any issues with it yet so to date there's nothing I don't like about it.

Alternativas consideradas: Teachable

Razones para cambiar a Thinkific: It's entry-level plans (including the free plan that was / is available at the time I joined) are fully featured. Certainly enough to get started and have to commit to a paid or more expensive plan. It looked great and also (at the time of joining and still I think) had a lower fee structure, etc.

Not as I expected

Comentarios: Dissapointed

Puntos a favor:

Branded and look profesional, easy to use for startup

Puntos en contra:

All the suscribtion not allowed another admin , I can’t invite freelancer to do the job. And the suscription exeoensive to allow another admin, compare to other platform thinkific is expensive with less feature

Thinkific LMS platform. An honest review

Comentarios: Thinkific is a great LMS with many inbuilt integrations. Even though most of the integrations are not free, they help in building a better LMS all round.

Puntos a favor:

Other than being a good Learning management platform, students could upload video contents and gifs in the communities of a thinkific school. This isn't possible with other LMS I've used. I think this is a great advantage in my opinion as videos drives conversations better.

Puntos en contra:

If I could upload SCORM/HTML5 contents it'll be a better product for me. Also, the course builder layouts are not as sleek as I expected in comparison to other products.

Alternativas consideradas: LearnDash

Razones para cambiar a Thinkific: I didn't want to get involved in the technical stuffs involved in building an LMS from scratch. I preferred using a SAAS platform (in this case Thinkific) that would cater for the technical aspects of the platform while I cared about creating contents for my students.

Using Thinkific has helped me grow my business!

Comentarios: LOVE thinkific!

Puntos a favor:

It's so easy to use, has great tutorials and their support is amazing.

Puntos en contra:

It's gotten more technical over the years and really now a designer is needed to create beautiful landing pages unless you have time to figure it out.

Razones para cambiar a Thinkific: Easier to use and no one critiqued my course to allow it to be on the platform
