## Reviews

### "Outstanding course-hosting platform that makes your life easy" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *21 January 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that Thinkific is comprehensive so I get to focus on content creation and student outreach. Thinkific manages the payment portal and moves students smoothly through the course experience. In a lot of ways, it's set-it-and-forget-it, meaning - once you have a course set up the way you want inside Thinkific, students move through it beautifully and all you have to worry about is getting new students\!
> 
> **Cons**: My only suggestion for Thinkific would be to provide a few more options for testimonials layouts on the sales/landing pages. I'd like more flexibility and options to showcase or emphasize certain student experiences... but otherwise, I wouldn't change anything.
> 
> Overall the experience has been excellent over the past four years. I have to add that the Thinkific Helpdesk is genuinely helpful, and their response time is lightning fast. They have an option for "how urgent is your issue?" when you submit your help ticket, and if you select "urgent," they actually get back to you very quickly, as in, within a few hours. This is essential when your income comes from your course website and you need help updating or fixing something\!

### "A Great Place to Start (especially if you're bootstrapping)" — 5.0/5

> **Shannon** | *10 January 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This was the first site I used when I first started my coaching business.  I was able to create landing pages for my first lead magnets with ease despite not having a clue what I was doing\!
> 
> **Cons**: At the time, there were minimal options for designs I liked and I eventually grew out of it.
> 
> Thinkific holds a very special place in my heart.  At the time I was bootstrapping my business and the free version allowed me a launch pad.

### "Unfortunately a big disappointment and wasted investment" — 1.0/5

> **Chad** | *19 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to get set up and upload a course. It offers a wide range of features.
> 
> **Cons**: The features aren't customizable and some don't even work. Also terrible customer service. There has been a bug in one of their core features for almost a full month now, and customer service only sends templated responses with no details about when it will be fixed. Many of their features also don't allow for any customization, and the dashboard is not very easy to navigate.
> 
> Their sales team is great at what they do, but that actual service and platform are unfortunately not good.

### "We Love Thinkific\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jacob** | *16 December 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: So easy to get started. Adding creator content is simple and the designing aspect is also very intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: The limitations to customize the course player. There are types of lessons, but other than that you are stuck using their templates.
> 
> Excellent. They are very responsive to any issues and have real experts answering the support questions.

### "Beautiful Course Platform for Online Education" — 5.0/5

> **Yadah** | *26 April 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is an absolutely beautiful platform. Thinkific has been in the elearning industry for years and it shows - the portal is easy to navigate and set up courses. The tutorials section is robust and detailed, giving step-by-step information on how to set up various course features and troubleshoot any issues that may come up. There is the ability to issue certificates of completion, add an assignment section for students to upload their work, basic quiz functionality, drip-scheduling as well as compulsory lessons which need to be completed before the student can move on. The lessons can consist of videos, text, PDF's (which can be downloadable or not), or quizzes. You can embed videos and links from other sites too. The course analytics allow you to see how much of a course/lesson was completed before a student drops off, giving valuable insight which enables the course creator to edit and adapt the courses to make them more engaging for the students. There is also a 'community' feature which gives students the chance to chat and give/feedback away from an external site (like a Facebook group). Thinkific does not take any of the course fees and allows the course creator to keep 100% of the profits earned. There is also a free version which has a lot of features included.
> 
> **Cons**: The certificates are quite basic and it's necessary to be design-savvy and tech-savvy to create a certificate which would be accepted in the upload process. The quizzes are very basic and do not support time-limits, limited retries or anything more robust than true/false or multiple choice. Should you want to integrate with a more robust quiz software, their native integrative party is quite pricey\! There is no built-in email functionality aside from the notifications that can be sent to existing students. As email is becoming more popular among other learning management systems this is quite a big negative point against them. The option to whitelabel the site completely is only available on the 'Growth' plan which over and above the 'Pro' plan which is already $99.
> 
> A stunning product which I would have been happy to use (even with all the workarounds for certificates, email and quizzes). The support is quick with responses and the tutorials provided really are next-level amazing. A consistent and impressive LMS.
