FAQ

Does Teachable own my content?

No. Unlike with many other platforms, you own every piece of content you upload, as well as all your student information. 

What features do I get on a free plan?

A free plan gives you the core features you need to begin selling on Teachable: course design templates, AI creation tools, payment processing, and more. You’ll be able to sell one of each product type (course, digital download, coaching, and membership)—while there’s no limit to the amount you can create. Note: Kajabi does not currently have a free plan available. 

Do I need a website if I have Teachable?

No. You can build one on Teachable using our convenient, intuitive site builder. However, if you do have an existing website you plan on using, we make it super easy with a dedicated WordPress plugin and embedded checkout functionality to sell your products directly on any other site.

New customers are entitled to a full no-questions-asked refund within 30 days.
