Thinkific manages the payment portal and moves students smoothly through the course experience. In a lot of ways, it's set-it-and-forget-it, meaning - once you have a course set up the way you want inside Thinkific, students move through it beautifully and all you have to worry about is getting new students\! > > **Cons**: My only suggestion for Thinkific would be to provide a few more options for testimonials layouts on the sales/landing pages. I'd like more flexibility and options to showcase or emphasize certain student experiences... but otherwise, I wouldn't change anything. > > Overall the experience has been excellent over the past four years. I have to add that the Thinkific Helpdesk is genuinely helpful, and their response time is lightning fast. They have an option for "how urgent is your issue?" when you submit your help ticket, and if you select "urgent," they actually get back to you very quickly, as in, within a few hours. This is essential when your income comes from your course website and you need help updating or fixing something\! ----- ### "A Great Place to Start (especially if you're bootstrapping)" — 5.0/5 > **Shannon** | *10 January 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This was the first site I used when I first started my coaching business. I was able to create landing pages for my first lead magnets with ease despite not having a clue what I was doing\! > > **Cons**: At the time, there were minimal options for designs I liked and I eventually grew out of it. > > Thinkific holds a very special place in my heart. At the time I was bootstrapping my business and the free version allowed me a launch pad. ----- ### "Unfortunately a big disappointment and wasted investment" — 1.0/5 > **Chad** | *19 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to get set up and upload a course. It offers a wide range of features. > > **Cons**: The features aren't customizable and some don't even work. Also terrible customer service. There has been a bug in one of their core features for almost a full month now, and customer service only sends templated responses with no details about when it will be fixed. Many of their features also don't allow for any customization, and the dashboard is not very easy to navigate. > > Their sales team is great at what they do, but that actual service and platform are unfortunately not good. ----- ### "We Love Thinkific\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *16 December 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: So easy to get started. Adding creator content is simple and the designing aspect is also very intuitive. > > **Cons**: The limitations to customize the course player. There are types of lessons, but other than that you are stuck using their templates. > > Excellent. They are very responsive to any issues and have real experts answering the support questions. ----- ### "Fills a gap in this space with enthusiasm\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 December 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that you could design the access portal, the courses, and the payment methods all in 1 interface without any needs for additional products. I particularly enjoy how easy it is to set the courses up if you have your curriculum designed. > > **Cons**: I wish there was an option to be able to have access to all the course features without fees. We are a startup and just are not in a position to charge for courses yet, meaning this would be a huge investment for us that we are not willing to make. It would be great if you could get a 6month burn-in period to test and market before going live. > > Blackboard Course sites, Moodle, and Instructure Canvas are great products, but you have to invest in additional solutions to collect payments, etc. for selling the online courses. Thinkific does all this in 1 system with more options for site design than the big education players do. Some of the features could be more well-thought-out, but for a non-LMS company, it is incredibly easy to set up and allows you to design instructional sound materials. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/102479/thinkific?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/102479/thinkific) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
