Most Teachable schools never see usage fees — about 90% of creators aren't impacted at all. If you received an email about upcoming changes, this article explains what's changing and what (if anything) you need to do.
For schools not impacted by the change
If you received an email saying your billing isn't changing, no action is required. Your school is within your plan's student limits. You'll also have access to updated (more generous) product limits at no extra cost.
Starter: up to 5 products (previously 1)
Builder: up to 10 products (previously 5)
Growth: up to 50 products (previously 25)
For schools that are over their plan's limits
A per-student usage fee will apply automatically at your next billing renewal if your school exceeds its plan's active or imported student limits.
What counts toward your limits?
Active students: Students currently enrolled in at least one product in your school
Imported students: Students added outside Teachable's checkout — such as through a manual import, the API, or a third-party tool — within the last 12 months
Published products: The total number of published products in your school.
Video storage: Total video storage used across your school.
How fees are calculated
Type | Starter | Builder | Growth | Advanced |
Active student | $0.10/mo | $0.10/mo | $0.05/mo | $0.05/mo |
Imported student | $1.50/mo | $1.00/mo | $0.75/mo | $0.50/mo |
Type | Fee |
Published products over 100 | $199/month per 50 additional products |
Video storage over 1,000 GB | $15/month per additional TB |
How to reduce or eliminate fees
Upgrade your plan — higher tiers include more active and imported student capacity
Move to Teachable checkout — students who enroll through Teachable's native checkout don't count toward your imported student limit
