Teachable vs. Join It

A sharper alternative to Teachable

Teachable delivers an all‑in‑one platform for creators—courses, coaching, downloads, memberships, communities—but its tiered pricing, transaction fees, and locked-down customisation can slow your momentum. Join It gives you the essentials for modern membership management—streamlined, transparent, and built for real flexibility.

Clean, modern interface

Transparent pricing

Integrates with the tools you already use

Here’s what happens when Teachable users switch to Join It

Before (with Teachable)
Platform supports courses, coaching, digital downloads, memberships, and community from one dashboard
Starter plan starts at $39/month (billed annually $29/month) but charges 7.5% transaction fee
Higher tiers (billed annually)—Builder ($89/mo), Growth ($189/mo), Advanced ($399/mo)—remove fees but cost significantly more
Includes marketing tools like upsells, coupons, abandoned cart emails, affiliate programme, AI‑powered features, certificates, drip content, analytics, and community features—yet customisation is limited outside of paid plans
After (with Join It)
Clean, intuitive design built for clarity and ease of use
Transparent plans starting at $29/month — no hidden costs or transaction fees
Seamless integrations with best‑in‑class tools like Eventbrite, Mailchimp, Stripe, and Zapier
Focused, membership-specific features without code‑heavy setups
Simple self‑service for admins and members, no steep learning curve
