Thinkific Plus Reviews & Product Details

Easy to use and nice interface for administrators and users

The integrations for paying methods are not enough

Selling and giving courses to different students and collaborators

Last year when I decided to create an online course I was looking for a platfor I could test before committing. Thinkific has a VERY robust free version that caught my attention. I set up my new course here so I could BETA test it before it's official launch. Because this was a new offering I wanted to have as simple as a setup process as possible, and one that was easy for my newbie students to use. THIS is exactly what Thinkific delivered.

My main complaint about Thinkific is it's aesthetic. Since I've built my brand from a body of work that is near and dear to my heart, it is important to me that my clients and students really resonate with how the work is delivered. They have said thinkific is easy to access the material and utilize functionally, however I would love a smoother and more streamlined feel to it's appearance. (Caveat: I'm an Apple person, I've described Thinkific as more of an Android feel ;)

Being a hands-on practitioner for going on 2 decades, I wanted a way that the students of my new course(s) could feel actively engaged with this work. Because of it's mutli-media versitility Thinkific has given me an online platform to connect. I use the PDF, video, and quiz options most. I love that my students get reminder emails and that I can track their progress. It makes us feel connected even in this virtual space. One of the benefits I have realized is a scalability that I hadn't thought of before, new ways to present my work are in development!

The Thinkific platform provides all the tools needed in creating a course right mapping out the course outline to actually developing the course and making sales for the course. Marketing via Fiver is also underway.

The marketing of the course on social platforms is not intergrated into the platfor. It would be good to have an interphase of the sharing tools to popular social sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter etc into the platform to improve the current sharing option of having to copy the course url in order to share to other platforms.

Thinkific platform offers service that would otherwise be accessed by big publishing houses to ordinary individual/ small business course creators with the added advantage of facilitating access to global markets as the courses are available online.

Easy to use with a great support team to help build out courses. The templates are clear and simple.

The landing pages are more challenging and not as easy to use as building out the course.

We are launching our online courses for entrepreneurs and leaders. It's been something we have struggled with and Thinkific and the team have made it simple and easy to get it done.

I have been using the Thinkific platform for over two years, and I have found it very easy to use and very adaptable. The ability to upload all of my content easily and quickly and build a course has been effortless, even for a non-techy person like myself. If you have great content, you can create a great course and try the free option to get started. There is great flexibility with branding also, and I have built a system that matches my entire brand online. So Thinkific is a product I would have no hesitation in sharing with my friends and business associates.

I have trouble finding anything I don't particularly appreciate because one can start for free and build an entire course at no cost, and so how many companies would allow you to do so. It is very easy to build, and the customer service team is accommodating and open, so it is a joy to work with every day.

I am supporting those with ideas like myself. So I built this for me and for my friends who had ideas initially and then decided to share it publicly. It is essentially supporting a person with an idea or passion and evolving that into a purpose-driven role or small business model. Again - it is something I would have needed when creating my brand, and so it can help a person develop their ultimate model or role and even build a high-end consulting business like I operate today. For me, Thinkific is a great tool because I can automate my training and share the course as a product and as a front end introduction to my brand and solutions.

Thinkific's main, and best, differentiator in the LMS market is their focus and emphasis on the student experience. The platform is intuitive and flexible, allowing course creators to achieve many different use cases through the customizable and beautiful landing pages, to the in-course player itself.

There are still some small feature gaps that need addressing, like the ability to cap enrollments.

I'm solving problems with Thinkific every day! There are tons of benefits to entrepreneurs, businesses of all sized and course creators.

I love that everything that I need to sell and host my courses is in one easy to navigate interface.

Easier way to design the course sales page would be perfered.

I utilize the course development tools, student management system, and its integration as a shopping cart.

High flexibility in course content creation

Website builder functionalities are quite limited and design elements are not as good as they could be

Thinkific offers a solid user management system while allowing us to set up everything on our own domain with custom sales pages etc without the need to handle logins, checkout, payments etc. They also come with lots of different payment types, e.g. course bundles or subscriptions.

What I like the most about Thinkific is it has a great support system and easy-to-use navigation, which is so crucial for my student's experience on this platform while studying during my course. Thinkific staff is always on hand to ensure its user's experience!

It would be nice to search display of featured courses where potential students can peruse suitably instructors to help quickly decide to enroll. Been able to pay with a credit card option would bring in many more students, I believe.

Have a reliable, stable, and supportive platform is always a great benefit.

The interface is user-friendly, really easy to use. The pricing is adapted to small businesses. Functionalities are available to help follow up on user progression and send reminders automatically.

The way survey results are shared could be improved. It would be great to have an individual visual report in addition to the CSV file. The CSV file is not easy to read and needs data treatment.

My goal is to scale my teaching capability with Thinkific and impact an increasing number of people.

It's hard to pick one thing. First of all it's beautiful. Second, it SO. EASY. TO. USE!!!

There's a limit to what you can customise. But I think that's a concession you make to have such a user-friendly, no brainer platform.

I'm getting over the block I've had for years, that building and selling courses is too hard.

It is easy to use, and you don't need to know about coding to set up your website.

Your course has to be standard to all your students; the platform does not allow you to give a more personalized experience to students with specific needs.

We are helping Latino immigrants navigate the US immigration system. People that have used our platform feel empowered because they now know about their immigration matters.

It works! Fast, easy, and without downtime. My only worry is to create great content.No more drama about plug-ins, new releases, and software updates.

It will be great having a couple more hours of support in the European morning.

No IT support is needed. No worries about servers. We focus on creating great content, excellent design, and adding value.

What I like the most about Thinkific is that it's cheap and pretty practical for the price.

I don't like that I can't select by groups on the plan I'm currently on, its the one that costs 49 usd.

I've resolved to host all of my courses and classes online and that people can acces them. I check the homeworks in there also so no need for Google classroom

It's a great platform and very easy to use.

Needs more user options - specifically students/leader able to bulk enrol and specify course

none

I like how accessible and simple Thinkific keeps their site! It is easy to edit, change things on the site, as well as making uploading videos a BREEZE!

I dislike that I don't have the highest package they offer! (Yet)

The problem I am solving with Thinkific is providing my followers and clients with a website that is easy to access and navigate. The benefits of having a functioning and appealing website have increased my sales and my client interaction a breeze!

I like the no-frills approach to content creation and the reporting tools.

I want to disable the marketing tools for organizations when they are not selling the courses.

The two critical problems that Thinfik solves are how to implement effective training without coding and how to report easily on what is relevant. The benefits are great features for an excellent prize.

I like the efficient layout of trainings, the amazing network of resource persons and trainers, the price friendly platform and the encouragement and support of the community and trainers. It inspires action toward achieving my goals because everything I require to be successful is provided to me. Love this and appreciate it all so much.

I haven't found anything to dislike yet.

Clarifying my own strengths and abilities Clarifying my target audience and laser focusing to avoid confusion Inspiration and mentorship from other participants and trainers/resources persons A platform that simplifies my course material layout and design

Easy to use for me and my students. 100% reliable. Customer service is awesome and very friendly.

Nothing right now. I like all the available features.

Sharing courses with mu students. The possibility to put quizzes and have all kind of statistics.

I love Thinkific because you're not paying thay hefty fee to a 3rd party (e.g., Udemy). You have control over the platform / landing page yourself, and the prices of your course (you can choose whatever price you want)! DRIP content is also available.

The thing I disliked the most was that my students / learners had to create an account to purchase my course which was fine. But after they created the account, it took them back to the homepage rather than the checkout page. I did get Thinkific's support on this issue & they were great, but it just never seemed to work for me (I got numerous friends to test it).

It's a huge time - saver! Especially with having the pre-made landing pages and you just rearrange blocks around is quite convenient.
