What do you like best? I have to reaaaaly think to be able to answer this question. I don't know what to say at this point.
What do you dislike? I'm a power user who made $2.5M selling courses with Teachable. Recently Teachable switched to a very expensive pricing scheme, so I moved my school to Thinkific. I paid for the Grow plan for the entire year in order to be able to use their email marketing feature. Today I found out that they suspended my email sending privileges due to not having unsubscribe link in my email. WHICH THEY SAID WAS TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE WHEN I REACHED OUT AND ASKED HOW I CAN ADD UNSUBSCRIBE LINKS TO MY MESSAGES!!

Highly customisable, visually pleasing. Lacks interactivity

What do you like best? It's incredibly simple to create a course - no HTML coding required. However we appreciate the access to code to push the content to the next level.
What do you dislike? The types of exercises/quizzes etc need some work - other platforms offer more interactive options like drag & drop order, "fill in the gaps" style questions, and jigsaw puzzle style things. I also would love to be able to customise the Course Player more so that we could easily customise the visuals.

What do you like best? The usability, integrations and excellent support makes my work som much easier. I am really happy that I chose Thinkific as our platform.
What do you dislike? It would definitely be a plus if Thinkific managed to take taxes into account when expediting orders. Now, I instead have to use Shopify as my payment provider - which works well, but is somewhat of a workaround.

What do you like best? Customer support, the user-friendliness of the platform, the many explanatory and easy to follow articles and the Facebook support group
What do you dislike? The fact that it doesn't have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to notifications (for instance notifications on lessons and chapters, not just for the course itself). Some marketing options would definitely go the extra mile.

What do you like best? having looked at other platforms I think this was the best structured and easy to set up, it has a fantastic support group on Facebook which has been a great help
What do you dislike? still yet to find anything I don't like as its been a dream to use, if I have had any problems they have got back to me in a few hours. I guess if I think about it the time difference is a pain as im based in the uk..... not the end of the world

What do you like best? I like the structure of the default format in which the contents come on the left and the entire content can be accessed on the right, on a wider window. The option of adding or deleting chapters or subchapters is great.
What do you dislike? The price is high for starters. It could be a good idea to link the price to the number of customers per account.

What do you like best? I was above to do all that I wanted in one place and didn't need to add a lot of third party add-ins. That would have increased cost and complexity.
What do you dislike? When I needed to add more secure testing, I had to get the Brillium set. It works really well and like how it handles different testing environments, but I found the cost somewhat prohibitive compared to the cost of Thinkific (Professional version).

What do you like best? I love how it integrates well with my website, there is a seamless flow. It has a professional look and its easy for the creator and customer to use. There are plenty of options for what media you want to add to it as well. I love that they offer 3 free courses to start with so you can get a feel for it before committing.
What do you dislike? It took me a while to work out that its probably not best to have my checkout on my site, its best to use thinkifics.

Overall Rating 99%

What do you like best? I chose Thinkific as my online course platform because it delivers the most optimal and user-friendly learning and teaching experience. Course creators can get their courses up and running FAST, while focusing on the learning content and learning journey their course provides. I encourage my students and clients to set their courses up on Thinkific because it is fast and easy for them to get a course designed, developed and built using this platform. I recommend it highly.
What do you dislike? The one thing that I like "least", actually ties in to what I like MOST about Thinkific...which is that it is MODULAR and GRANULAR in nature. If you think of each aspect of your course empire as being like a "lego", you can combine these "legos" (lessons, courses, design elements, notifications) in multiple ways to create unique effects. The secret lies in understanding that you have to START with the smallest and most granular unit, first. This takes a mindset shift from WordPress. Worth it!

What do you like best? That it includes everything you need in one place. Our users rate it highly on a consistent basis (average 4.7 / 5).
What do you dislike? I would like for it to have more robust evaluation activities (more question types) and more robust and direct reporting.
