"Thinkific is a fabulous platform to create a course fast and start selling it. It’s easy to set up, walks you through step by step and gets you excited about doing it. 100% recommend! "
"It has been a wow experience so far. Do yourself a favour by visiting Thinkific."
"- The platform is easy to use: there's step-by-step, well organized instructions on "how to" do anything, from building your landing pages to setting up your payment options. No need to spend hours online with their support to figure things out;
- The free account is anything but "basic": it allows you to create a full course complete with videos, slides, quizzes, anything that comes to mind;
- The pricing is, imho, more than fair.
I'm a delighted customer who keeps recommending Thinkfic to others."
"I teach a hands-on lecture/lab hybrid introductory biology course, which is a pre-med requirement. When our school closed its doors for the semester, I was worried about the quality of education my students would be receiving as a result of our rapid transition to distance learning. We were all forced to scramble and many of us, with no experience teaching distance learning courses had only a few days time to cobble together new curriculums.
I desperately experimented with various Learning Management systems and synchronous platforms (GoogleClassroom, Blackboard and Blackboard Collab. Ultra, Webex) to see which combination could best support/most closely mimic the interactive learning environment in our lab setting and give our students an appropriate and comparable learning experience to what they would get in-person. Specifically, I was looking for *one* platform that could support my constructivist teaching methods asynchronously and synchronously, as many of my students have unstable or limited internet access. This was a seemingly impossible feat, given the inquiry-based, hands-on nature of experimental learning.
Thinkific delivered on all fronts and then some: it is a customizable one-stop-shop LMS that allows for both asynchronous and synchronous (w/ some external workarounds) delivery of course material in the precise sequence I want students to be engaging with the material. It allows me to organize material into "chapters" w/ "lessons" and present content sequentially, with a logical flow, that simulates how students would be thinking about and engaging w/ material during normal real-time class conditions. The beautiful thing about Thinkific is that it allows my students to do so at their own pace (ie, it can "drip") and lets me track their progression. I have been embedding links to my live-classes and reminders to attend at the beginning and end of every chapter, and am able to ask questions asynchronously, by embedding surveys within lessons.
Most importantly, Thinkific's platform promotes a lot of interactivity/engagement with material, as well as excitement about material. I get notifications when and how students are engaging with the material or each other on it (via discussion posts, which I can manage). Thinkific is very organized, highly customizable and can present all course content on mobile. Their mobile platform is UNBELIEVABLE: it is user-friendly and my students who don't have internet at home are able to remote access material readily via their mobile devices.
Thinkific has made distance learning fun for my students, and high-quality remote teaching possible. It granted us all the flexibility we needed during this COVID crisis. I don't feel as though the quality of education is significantly compromised as I felt using even combinations of other platforms. The feedback I have gotten from my students has been overwhelmingly positive, and they remind me constantly of how great the presentation of material is on their Thinkific course. Unfortunately, I am still forced to used another platform for testing: as I do not have a Pro account.
In short, Thinkific has been a godsend.

"My website went down, my account was current, the login was disabled for some reason and there was absolutely no way to get in touch with them. Emails went unanswered, their phone went to voice mail. If you need to have a system you can rely on - this is not your solution."
"My experience so far with Thinkific has been remarkable. The help and support plus the service and features they offer worldwide is amazing beyond one's imagination. I love how their mentors and agents follow up with helping people globally trying to have an online presence. I strongly recommend Thinkific to everyone who wants to develop an online course, book, training tutorial or anything that's relevant to the learning of a better and brighter helpful future for others."
"It makes the process of setting up and trialling your first online course very simple, so that you can focus on the quality of the lessons themselves. The free option is perfect to start with, while you set up the classes and then the first paid level is really affordable and ideal to launch your course with. The themes are really decent and the first paid option allows you to edit the CSS and HTML if you have the ability - but it's attractive enough without your own coding."
"Not only is this an amazing platform for those looking to move into the online world and share their knowledge but its such an amazing network of support in all areas. Im confident in my course content but without the existence of thinkific i may have never had the confidence that i could build it the way id hoped. Thinkific is worth every cent if you want to provide a professional course that will continue to scale and grow"
"I just set up my online coaching course in the fall. I"m not super tech savvy at all. I must have emailed the support team over 50 times asking for help with the process. They were amazing, answered all my questions and sent super helpful videos explaining the answers to my questions. The support team is the reason I got my program up and running. It's an amazing platform."
"I have been exploring the thinkific platform over the last few months, and I love what it has to offer!
Customer support has been very helpful and has always answered very promptly whenever I have had questions. "
"So far I am completely obsessed with Thinkific. It has everything I need to have a beautiful, functional, and efficient course!"
"Thinkific is a great platform to teach online. It is intuitive, easy to use, and extremely flexible. Very helpful tutorials on how to get started, plus clever and thoughtful connections to set up a home web page, along with good controls of the online teaching, "
"After using a variety of platforms for course hosting, I've finally settled on Thinkific.
I've used Wordpress and it was too slow for my needs and customers were experiencing slow downloads, video buffering, and payment issues. So, I upgraded to Kajabi, because I heard great things about them. However, Kajabi comes with a ton of features I never even used and there was no way to downgrade based on the unused options. Though I had the benefit of zero downloading, video streaming or payment issues with Kajabi, I was stuck with a high monthly premium that left me pocketing little of the money I made from course sales.
Enter Thinkific
A close friend recommended I check out Thinkific and though I was skeptical, I soon found Thinkific had all the features I needed with no extra fluff. With the freemium version of Thinkific, I find it insane for anyone to pass at only sacrificing 10% of all sales. Within one week of launching my new course on Thinkific, I'd made enough money to upgrade to the annual business plan and pocket some extra cash. How was I able to do it? Based on the extras in the business plan, I was able to entice potential customers with the perks. Thinkific builds in enough benefits into each level that makes selling courses dead simple for me and even easier for customers to invest.
To me, Thinkific is the course hosting platform of the people. Not everyone has the discretionary expense to afford ultra-priced course hosting platforms. And, those who can afford it now have a viable option at a far cheaper price with benefits that make sense for everyone.
Five well-earned stars!"
