Teachable is popular for selling courses. Before you choose, it is worth looking closely at transaction fees, where your money goes, and what happens with your students' data.

Teachable plans and fees

Your students' data

Teachable's data processing agreement describes Teachable and the creator as independent controllers of student data. Creators can export a CSV of user ID, name and email; there is no native export of a whole course.

The students are the teacher's: names and emails are visible in the dashboard and can be exported.

Money

Students pay the teacher directly through the teacher's own Stripe account. TeachMillers takes no share of sales; it earns only from the teacher's plan. Stripe's own card fees still apply.
