Teachery review: one plan at $49 a month or $470 a year
Teachery sells one plan with everything in it, which makes it the simplest purchase in this category and the wrong one for anyone who needs quizzes or community. Our last check, on 15 June 2026, recorded $49 a month or $470 a year, unlimited courses and students, and no transaction fees. That evidence is four months old.
The short answer
Buy Teachery if your courses are video, text and downloads, you handle marketing elsewhere, and you want a bill that never changes. Our check of teachery.co on 15 June 2026 recorded one plan at $49 a month or $470 a year, with unlimited courses, unlimited students and no cut of sales. Read that as four months old.
Skip it if you need graded quizzes, certificates or a members' community. Thinkific at $54 a month on Basic, verified 1 October 2026, has the deeper builder for about the same money, and simplicity is no consolation for a feature you need and cannot add.
Where Teachery fits
Teachery fits the creator who wants course hosting and nothing else. One plan, every feature, unlimited courses and unlimited students on our 15 June 2026 check, with no cut of sales. There is no tier to outgrow and no upsell waiting, which removes the whole category of worry about which plan to be on.
The price has two payment options rather than two plans. Our check recorded $49 a month or $470 a year, and the snapshot records the annual option as saving $118. That arithmetic holds: twelve months at $49 is $588, and $588 less $470 is $118, so the saving is the vendor's own figure and the working is visible.
Our snapshot also records an approximate monthly equivalent of about $39 a month for the annual option. That figure is approximate, flagged as such in the source, and it is our own division rather than a price Teachery bills. There is no $39 monthly plan, and the only two ways to pay recorded on our check were $49 a month and $470 a year.
No transaction fee is the quietly valuable part. Every percentage-based platform costs more as you sell more, and the whole calculation that dominates the rest of this category does not apply here. At $49 a month, or $588 across a year paid monthly, the bill is the same whether you sell one course or five hundred.
That makes Teachery unusually easy to compare. Podia Mover is $39 a month with a 5% cut of sales, recorded 14 June 2026, so a creator selling $1,000 a month would pay that fee on top of the subscription while Teachery's figure would not move. Run your own revenue through both and the answer is arithmetic rather than preference.
The trial is 14 days with full access on our 15 June 2026 check, which is short but adequate for a product this simple. There is nothing to configure and no tier to pick, so two weeks is enough to build a course and decide whether the editor suits how you write.
What you are giving up for that simplicity is depth, and the gap is wide. There are no quizzes, no certificates, no community and no email marketing, which puts Teachery behind Teachable at $39 a month and Thinkific at $54, both verified 1 October 2026, on course machinery. Our own figures are from 15 June 2026 and have not been re-verified, so treat them as several months old. The course and membership platforms category covers the alternatives.
Teachery pricing
Teachery has one plan and two ways to pay for it, with nothing taken per sale. Both figures below come from our check of teachery.co on 15 June 2026 and have not been re-verified since, so confirm them before you buy. The Teachery pricing breakdown carries the longer version.
| Plan | Price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $49/mo | Every feature, unlimited courses, unlimited students, no transaction fees. $588 across a year |
| Annual | $470/year | The same plan prepaid. Saves $118 against $588 paid monthly, which works out at about $39 a month |
There is almost nothing to configure in this price, which is the point. Four things are worth checking anyway:
- Which payment option you take. $49 a month is $588 across a year, against $470 prepaid, so the annual option saved $118 on our 15 June 2026 check.
- Nothing about your sales volume. Our check recorded no transaction fees, so revenue does not change the bill, which is the opposite of how most of this category works.
- Nothing about your student numbers. Unlimited courses and unlimited students were recorded on the single plan, so growth does not trigger an upgrade.
- What you will buy alongside it. There is no email marketing, no community and no quizzing, so the real cost is $49 a month plus whatever you pay for those parts elsewhere.
- The age of this evidence. These are June 2026 figures, four months old, and a single-plan price is exactly the sort of thing a small company revises.
Teachery pricing against the course platforms
Teachery's $49 a month sits in the middle of the cheap end of the category, and the no-fee term is what distinguishes it. Teachable is $39 a month on Starter and Thinkific is $54 on Basic, both verified 1 October 2026, and both have more course features. Podia is $39 a month on Mover with a 5% cut of sales, recorded 14 June 2026, so Teachery is dearer up front and cheaper once you sell. Kajabi at $179 a month on Basic, verified 1 October 2026, also takes no cut and bundles email and funnels for the difference. Those dates differ from Teachery's, so this is not a like-for-like comparison.
Teachery billing terms worth knowing
There is one plan, so the terms are short.
- Plans
- One, on our 15 June 2026 check. No tiers and no upsells recorded.
- Monthly
- $49 per month, which is $588 across a year.
- Annual
- $470 for the year, a saving of $118 against paying monthly.
- Approximate monthly equivalent
- About $39 a month on the annual option. This is an approximate figure, not a plan you can buy.
- Transaction fees
- None recorded on 15 June 2026.
- Limits
- Unlimited courses and unlimited students recorded on the single plan.
- Trial and check date
- 14-day free trial with full access. Figures recorded 15 June 2026, four months old.
Teachery offers one plan at two payment options: $49/month or $470/year (saving $118). Both include unlimited courses, unlimited students, 0% transaction fees, and all features. No tiers, no upsells, no hidden costs. A 14-day free trial gives access to everything.
If a Teachery charge differs from $49 a month or $470 a year, the likely explanation is a price change since June 2026 rather than anything about your sales, because our check recorded no transaction fees. Our creator tool cost calculators will total a year of Teachery plus the email and community tools you would buy separately, once you have today's rates.
What Teachery gives up
There is no assessment of any kind. No graded quizzes, no certificates, no branching paths, so a course that has to test and certify its learners cannot be run here. That single limit rules Teachery out for a large part of the market, and it is the first thing to check against your own curriculum.
There is no community. A paid membership whose value is the discussion needs Circle at $89 a month on Professional, verified 1 October 2026, or a platform built for it. Teachery delivers lessons and leaves the rest to you.
There is no email marketing or automation. The launch sequence, the nurture emails and the drip reminders all come from a separate subscription, so the real monthly cost is $49 plus whatever that platform charges. Total both before comparing with a bundled product.
Design customisation is limited. The editor is clean and fast, and the price of that is a course that looks the way Teachery looks. If presentation is part of what you are selling, that constraint will show sooner than you expect.
It is a small company, with the smaller third-party ecosystem that implies. Fewer integrations, fewer plugins and fewer people who have already solved your problem in a forum. That is a real risk to weigh against the appeal of a simple bill.
The flat price is only a bargain at volume. At $588 a year paid monthly, Teachery costs more up front than Podia Mover at $39 a month, recorded 14 June 2026, and the no-fee term only wins once your sales are large enough for a percentage to exceed the gap. Do that sum rather than assuming.
Our pricing evidence is from 15 June 2026, which is the weakest part of this page. Four months is long enough for a single-plan price to be revised or a trial length to change, and we would rather say so plainly than present old figures as current ones.
How Teachery compares
The four platforms below are the ones weighed against Teachery, and the axis is a flat no-fee price against features you may need. Prices are each vendor's published rates with the date we checked them, and those dates differ by up to four months, so read them with that in mind. The wider field sits in the course and membership platforms category.
| Tool | Best for | Price | Where it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teachery | One flat price, unlimited courses, no cut of sales | $49/mo or $470/year (June 2026) | No quizzes, certificates, community or email marketing |
| Teachable | A cheap start with more course features and a free plan | Free, $39/mo Starter | The lower plans take a cut of every sale |
| Podia | Courses, downloads and coaching from one simple site | $39/mo Mover | Mover carries a 5% transaction fee on every sale |
| LearnDash | Running courses inside your own WordPress site | $259/year Essentials licence | Hosting and maintenance are yours and are priced separately |
What to test in the Teachery trial
Our 15 June 2026 check recorded a 14-day free trial with full access. Confirm the trial length and the price before you start, because those figures are four months old, and spend the fortnight on the editor rather than on settings, since there are barely any.
- Check the current price and trial length on teachery.co. Our figures are from June 2026 and this is the one step not to take on trust.
- Build one real course in the editor, with the structure and the writing you plan to publish. The editor is the whole product, so test it properly.
- List anything your curriculum needs that Teachery does not have: a quiz, a certificate, a discussion space. If one of those is on the list, stop here and price Thinkific at $54 a month instead, verified 1 October 2026.
- Price the email platform you will run alongside it and add that to $49 a month. That total is the honest cost of this setup.
- Confirm that transaction fees are still zero. That term is the main financial argument for Teachery and it is the one worth verifying on a four-month-old figure.
- Decide between the payment options with the arithmetic in front of you: $588 across a year paid monthly, or $470 prepaid, a saving of $118.
- Set that against Podia Mover at $39 a month plus its 5% cut, recorded 14 June 2026, using your own sales figure. The cost calculators will run it and the free resources library has a launch checklist.
Teachery questions buyers ask
How much does Teachery cost?
Teachery charges $49/month or $470/year (about $39/month). That's the only pricing decision. One plan includes unlimited courses, unlimited students, all features, and 0% transaction fees. There are no tiers or hidden costs.
Does Teachery have a free trial?
Yes. Teachery offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. You can build courses, enroll students, and test the platform completely before paying. No credit card required to start, and no feature restrictions during the trial.
Who is Teachery best for?
Teachery is best for creators who want a simple, clean course platform without feature bloat. It's ideal for selling video-based courses, text courses, and downloadable content. It's not for creators who need quizzes, certificates, community, or advanced marketing tools built into their course platform.
Teachery vs Teachable: which is better?
Teachable is better if you need advanced features: quizzes, certificates, student analytics, and marketing tools. Teachery is better if you want simplicity, transparent pricing, and lower cost. A fee-free Teachable tier is $89 a month on Builder or $189 a month on Growth, verified 1 October 2026, against Teachery's $49 a month for unlimited everything, verified 15 June 2026. Those two checks are about three and a half months apart, so confirm the Teachable figure before you decide. Choose based on whether you need the features Teachable adds.
Does Teachery charge transaction fees?
No. Teachery charges 0% transaction fees. You pay only the flat $49/month subscription plus standard payment processing fees from Stripe or PayPal (typically 2.9% + $0.30). All course revenue beyond processing fees is yours.
Can I host unlimited courses on Teachery?
Yes. Every Teachery subscription includes unlimited courses and unlimited students. Whether you have 1 course or 100, the price stays the same. This is a significant advantage over platforms that cap courses or students on lower-tier plans.
Does Teachery have quizzes or certificates?
No. Teachery doesn't include quiz tools, grading, or certificate generation. If your courses need assessment or completion certificates, you'll need Teachable, Thinkific, or LearnDash. Teachery focuses on content delivery, not testing or credentialing.
Does Teachery include email marketing?
No. Teachery doesn't include email marketing tools. You'll need a separate service like Kit, Mailchimp, or ActiveCampaign for student communication, marketing emails, and drip sequences. Teachery integrates with major email platforms through Zapier and native integrations.
Is Teachery worth it compared to Kajabi?
Teachery at $49 a month is far cheaper than Kajabi, which runs from $179 a month on Basic to $499 a month on Pro, verified 1 October 2026. But Kajabi includes email marketing, community, a website builder and advanced course features that Teachery lacks. If you need those features, Kajabi's higher price delivers more value. If you do not, the gap is $130 a month against Kajabi Basic and $450 a month against Kajabi Pro, which is $1,560 to $5,400 across a year.
Can I cancel Teachery anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be canceled anytime, effective at the end of the billing period. Annual plans are prepaid for the year. The 14-day free trial lets you evaluate fully before your first payment, minimizing risk.
