Konstantly vs Teachable
A flat-priced LMS for training your team, not a course-seller platform built for per-sale fees.
Teachable is built to help individual creators and coaches sell courses to external customers - strong commerce tools, but no free plan, a 7.5% transaction fee on its entry tier, and AI features split across paid plans. Konstantly is built to train your people: Ask Konstantly generates a full course from a plain-English prompt in every editor on every plan, including Free; Pathboard gives you a visual, branching course builder Teachable's linear lecture structure can't match; and if you do sell courses direct to customers, Stripe checkout keeps 0% commission on every plan, not just the top ones.
Why teams switch from Teachable to Konstantly
“Easy to use with all necessary tools for interactive learning content. I love how you can issue certificates and manage users.”

Teachable
Tiered SaaS priced per "school" (not per seat), plus payment-processing fees. Starter ($39/mo, $29/mo billed annually) carries a 7.5% platform transaction fee on every sale on top of the subscription. Builder ($89/mo, $69 annual), Growth ($189/mo, $139 annual, marked most popular), and Advanced ($399/mo, $309 annual) drop the platform fee to 0% and raise the product cap (10/50/100 respectively). Teachable Payments still charges standard card-processing fees (~2.9%+$0.30 US, ~3.9%+$0.30 international) on every sale regardless of tier. A separate, custom-quoted "Enterprise" price list (Core ~$6,000/yr for 250 users, Pro ~$12,000/yr for 1,000 users) exists for larger cohort-based use, closer to how a corporate LMS prices - but Teachable remains positioned as a course-selling tool, not an internal-training system.
Teachable strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Fast time-to-launch - drag-and-drop course builder, themed sales pages, and built-in checkout let a solo creator sell a course or coaching offer within days, with no separate payment integration needed
- Commerce features built in, not bolted on - native pricing plans, coupons, upsells, and affiliate program management that a pure corporate LMS like Konstantly doesn't offer
- Broad AI content-creation toolset bundled across paid plans - lesson writer, curriculum generator, quiz generator, and auto-captions/translation into 70+ languages
- 0% platform transaction fee on every tier above the entry-level Starter plan
- Large, mature ecosystem - 150,000+ active schools across 180 countries, Zapier support, and years of third-party tutorials and community content
- Backed by Hotmart since its 2020 acquisition, giving it more financial stability and a broader creator-commerce toolset than most standalone course-seller tools
- Higher Capterra score (4.3/5, 180 reviews) than its G2 score, suggesting solo creators and small businesses often rate the day-to-day experience well
Limitations
- Not built for internal/employee training - no meaningful compliance tracking, org-chart/manager hierarchies, SCORM/xAPI depth, or enterprise SSO on standard plans
- No free plan - Teachable removed its free tier in June 2025, leaving new users only a 7-day free trial plus a 30-day money-back guarantee
- 7.5% platform transaction fee on the entry Starter plan ($39/mo), on top of standard Teachable Payments processing fees (~2.9%+$0.30 US, ~3.9%+$0.30 international) charged on every tier
- Dropping the platform transaction fee to 0% requires upgrading to Builder at $89/mo or higher
- Product/course caps scale by tier (5 on Starter up to 100 on Advanced), and review-site trackers report a pattern of price increases and retroactive cap tightening on existing customers
- Customer support is a recurring complaint - G2's Quality of Support sub-score (7.6/10) trails its Content Creation score (9.2/10), and users report no live chat or phone support before purchase on lower tiers
- Payout and billing friction reported by a cluster of users - held or delayed payouts (weeks to 90+ days in some accounts) and a confusing cancellation flow
- Design and branding customization is comparatively limited, constraining how distinct a school can look from other Teachable schools
- Native discussions and email marketing are basic - flat, unthreaded message-board style discussions, typically requiring a separate community or email tool
The verdict: Konstantly for training your team, Teachable for selling courses to customers
Teachable and Konstantly solve different problems wearing similar clothes. If you're a solo creator, coach, or small business selling courses, coaching, or digital products directly to a paying external audience, Teachable's built-in storefront, checkout, coupons, and affiliate tools are a genuine advantage Konstantly doesn't try to match - just budget for its 7.5% Starter-tier transaction fee, per-sale payment processing costs on every tier, and the jump to $89-$399/mo to unlock 0% commission and higher product caps. If you're training employees, partners, or customers on your own product and don't need a sales storefront, Konstantly is the better fit: Ask Konstantly builds a full course from a plain-English prompt in every editor including the free plan, Pathboard gives you a visual branching builder Teachable's linear lecture structure can't match, and one flat price - $29/mo, all features included - covers 25 seats with no transaction fee eating into anything you do sell direct through Stripe. Teams that also need compliance tracking, manager hierarchies, or enterprise-style authentication should note Teachable offers none of these on its standard plans.
