SchoolMaker VS. Teachable

A Teachable alternative that lets you sell more than just courses

Teachable allows you to sell a bunch of videos, but it's not enough anymore. Modern online course platforms like SchoolMaker have built-in communities, coaching features, and the ability to do video QnAs to answer all your member's questions quickly.

When creating SchoolMaker, we had a clear idea of what we wanted to focus on: your students' results, so you can make more money.

So this is why our tool doesn't have features that other all-in-one course hosting tools have like landing page creation or sending emails. We think that there are already amazing tools like Webflow or Carrd for creating your landing pages, and great Email Service Providers like ConvertKit or ActiveCampaign that do the job very well.

Here is a comparaison that focuses on how what features you get with SchoolMaker VS. Teachable:

Testimonials
I’m seeing a real increase in engagement.
For example, I had a live session on Saturday and there were a lot of questions, even though no one usually wants to talk.
Having a forum helps a lot. They feel like they are part of a group.
