Plans
There are 4 types of school plans on Teachable:
Starter ($49/month): Recommended for new creators. Allows one published product, supports 100 students, and includes a 7.5% transaction fee.
Builder ($89/month): Suitable for scaling creators. Includes five products, 1,000 students, and no transaction fee.
Growth ($199/month): Best for professionals. Offers 25 products, unlimited students, and no transaction fee.
Advanced ($499/month): Designed for enterprise-level creators. Features 100 products, unlimited students, and no transaction fee.
This flexibility ensures that Teachable plans can adjust to your evolving needs, whether you’re scaling up to access more features or simplifying to save on costs. Only the Primary Owner of a school can change a school plan. For in-depth information on feature availability per plan, take a look at this plan comparison chart.
Change your plan
1. Navigate to your Settings > Plan tab.
2. Select the plan you would like to upgrade to:
3. On the checkout page fill in your information, payment method, and business details (optional).
4. Click the Upgrade now button to confirm and process the payment.
NOTE: If you upgrade to a more expensive plan, we’ll take into account what you’ve already paid from your previous plan and credit it towards your purchase. You can see the amount you were credited in the "Applied Credit" section of your email receipt. Your new plan will start once you upgrade.
Downgrade your plan
Just as you can upgrade at any time, you can also downgrade your plan. You can downgrade to a lower pricing plan, or you can cancel your paid plan.
By downgrading, you will lose access to certain features you had on your higher paid plan. When downgrading, be aware of product publication limits that vary by plan: 1 published product for Starter, 5 for Builder, 25 for Growth, and 100 for Advanced. All users can continue to include Bundles, Memberships, and Communities, as these do not count toward product limits.
To downgrade to a lower-tier plan: You can also schedule your downgrade to take effect at the next renewal period through your Settings > Plan page. First ensure you've adjusted your published content to meet any product limits of your target plan.
Navigate to your Settings > Billing tab. Click the Change plan button
Click the Downgrade button under the plan you would like to change to.
A popup will appear. Follow the prompts to complete the downgrade process.
NOTE: If you downgrade to a lower-tier plan, your new plan will not start until the end of your current billing cycle.
Refund Policy: If you request a downgrade, it will apply immediately, and refunds for the differences in plan costs will be issued promptly upon confirmation. Refunds can be managed directly via the Plan Management section of the admin dashboard.
Managing Content When Downgrading
When downgrading to a plan with lower product limits , you do not need to delete any of your products. Instead, you can simply unpublish products until your total count meets the requirements of your new plan. This preserves your course and product settings for future use. Teachable's student mobile app is available across all paid plans, ensuring students have a seamless experience regardless of the plan tier.
Unpublishing is reversible, allowing you to reactivate products later, while deletion is permanent. All paid Teachable plans maintain access to core features like Memberships, Coaching, and Courses, regardless of your subscription level.
Scheduled downgrades will begin at the next renewal period, ensuring a smooth transition.
Cancel your plan
If you decide to cancel your paid school plan, your school will be taken offline. At that time, you will have limited access to your school admin and your students will no longer be able to access any products they’ve purchased. Please note that only the Primary Owner of a school can cancel the school plan.
To cancel a school plan:
Navigate to your school’s current plan by clicking Settings > Billing.
In the top right corner, click the Manage Plan dropdown button. Click the Cancel Plan button.
You will be shown a popup window describing the features you will lose by canceling. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
If you cancel a paid plan, the cancellation will become effective at the end of the then-current billing cycle.
If you do not see a Cancel Plan button under your current plan, it is possible that you already canceled your plan. If this is the case, you should see a banner indicating the date your plan will end, as well as an option to resume your subscription.
Reactivate Your Plan
Reactivating your paid school plan ensures your school operations continue without disruption. You can do this at any time:
If the cancellation is scheduled but not yet in effect: When you log in to your school admin, you’ll see a banner at the top indicating the scheduled end date of your plan. Click the Resume subscription link in that banner to keep your current plan active.
If the cancellation has already taken effect: From your Settings > Billing page, select your desired plan to restore access to paid plan features.
Annual vs. monthly
All paid plans come with the option of being billed monthly or annually. To change between monthly and annual billing options, use the toggle above the plan summaries to view the monthly and annual options.
If you would like to switch from monthly billing to annual billing, click the button under your current plan’s annual tab. If you would like to switch from annual billing to monthly billing, click the button to select that plan.
Annual plan pricing will display the monthly cost and the total billed annually. The total billed annually reflects what you will see at checkout.
NOTE: If you switch from monthly to annual billing for the same plan, you will be charged immediately and your new billing cycle will start on the day you change. We’ll take into account what you’ve already paid from your current month and credit it towards your purchase.
If you switch from annual to monthly billing for the same plan, your monthly billing will not start until the end of your current annual plan. For questions or concerns, please log in and contact Teachable Support.
