  "notes": "(read 2026-11-02 on teachable.com/pricing, teachable.com/legal/usage-fees and Teachable's help article on transaction fees and bundles; the pricing page says all prices are in US dollars) Teachable has three self-serve plans and a Custom plan. Starter is $39 a month billed monthly, or $29 a month billed annually: 5 published products, 1 admin and a 7.5% transaction fee on your sales. Builder is $89 a month, or $69 billed annually: 10 products, 1 admin, a 0% transaction fee when you use Teachable Payments, an affiliate program and real-time support. Growth is $189 a month, or $139 billed annually: 50 products, 5 admins, course certificates, Teachable branding removed, imported students and custom admin permissions. Custom is priced through sales. Every plan includes up to 1TB of video storage; beyond that the usage-fee page lists $15 a month per additional TB. Payment processing comes on top of the plan: for a US school the base rate is 2.9% + $0.30 per domestic card and 4.4% + $0.30 per international card. On the default Standard bundle Teachable adds 0.5% where tax is assessed and 0.7% on recurring transactions; the optional Global bundle adds 2.8% on all transactions instead. Students added outside Teachable checkout (imports, the API, manual enrollment, $0 or 100%-coupon checkouts) are free up to 100 per school, then $0.50 a month per student. There is no free plan: the pricing page offers a 7-day free trial and a 30-day guarantee.",
