Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

7.5% transaction fee on Starter plan: On a $200 course, that's $15 per sale going to Teachable on top of payment processing fees

2

Payment processing fees on all plans: Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction; international cards add an extra 1% and PayPal charges 3.49% + $0.49

3

Student capacity limits: Starter caps at 100 students, Builder at 1,000, and Growth/Advanced at 5,000 - exceeding limits requires upgrading to the next tier

4

No built-in email marketing on Starter: You need Builder ($69-$89/mo) or a separate tool like Mailchimp ($13-$350/mo) to email students at scale

5

Chargeback fees: $15 per disputed charge regardless of outcome, which can add up if selling high-ticket courses

6

No free plan available: Teachable discontinued its free plan; the cheapest entry is $29/mo annual ($39/mo monthly) plus transaction fees

7

Product limits force upgrades: Starter allows only 1 product, so launching a second course immediately requires the $69-$89/mo Builder plan

8

Third-party integration limits: Starter gets 1 integration, Builder gets 3 - connecting Zapier, email, and analytics tools requires Growth plan at $139-$189/mo
