Real reviews from people who create, sell, and scale on OnlineCourseHost - many after switching from another platform.
I'd used Teachable for years, paying $150+ a month. I moved my courses over, customised my branding, repointed my subdomain and went live in about three hours. I assumed it wouldn't do everything Teachable does - I was wrong, it does. A great application, very easy to use, and an amazing deal for small businesses.
Tom ParkinsonCourse creatorCourse platforms are everywhere - most are bland and feature-poor, and some are really expensive for the privilege (I'm looking at you, Kajabi). But this is something else: feature-rich with more to come, and great onboarding with tons of content on how to create, market and sell. They care about user success, and I'm delighted to be part of it.
Neil GowansCourse creatorI used to work with Kajabi, but it was so expensive and I only ever used the course platform with a payment provider and email automation. Now I have everything I need to enroll students, and with the Zapier integration I can still use ActiveCampaign and Stripe. I wish I'd discovered this earlier - I'd have saved so much.
Before this I ran my academy on WordPress and LearnPress. It was a mess - every week another problem, sometimes people couldn't even buy a course. Here it's so simple: I don't need a web designer, support is kind and fast, and moving my students over from WordPress was quick and easy. I use my own domain and MailerLite. I love it!
SabrinaAcademy owner, BerlinI purchased about a week ago and already have my first video course published. I've used the big players like Kajabi and the mid-tier tools like LearnDash - this has everything they have and more. Huge shout-out to the support team: I had a video playback issue, they reproduced it, and a few days later all 38 of my lessons worked perfectly.
Mike PitreCourse creatorI've now fully switched from being a Thinkific customer of 7 years. After a short learning curve I figured out how everything works and I'm loving it - course creation, the home page and publishing take a little clicking around to learn, then it's fast and easy. I wish I'd switched sooner.
I'd had my course on Teachable for a few years. Here I created a new course, uploaded my content, added Stripe, set my price and hit publish - about 20 minutes all up. I woke up the next day to my first sale. The sales page is so much better, and I really am blown away by how easy and user-friendly the whole thing is.
I was paying a crazy amount per month to Thinkific with Zapier while I wasn't even actively marketing my courses anymore. I migrated all 9 of my courses here and I'm very happy - it does everything I used Thinkific for, and I no longer have any recurring costs.
I published my first course back in 2015 with Teachable and grew less and less happy over the years. I started searching for a different platform and found this one. I'm so glad I moved my existing course over, and I plan to launch at least five more. I'm excited about all the features and can't wait to see what's next.
BarbaraCourse creatorI've tried a number of course builders, and I'm happy to say I finally found one that's simple to use for someone who isn't a tech person - easy to set up, with unlimited students and courses. Guides and classes are included to help you set up your courses and marketing. It reminds me of how Thinkific used to be: simple, and it just works.
Kim BloomerCourse creatorWith three businesses that sell courses, I wanted to consolidate my subscriptions and save money while I scale. I expected it to just cover my basic needs - what I didn't expect was that it would be insanely good. I'm so impressed with the features and the user-friendliness, and I've already moved a whole course over. Very happy customer.
Zoey HughesRuns three course businessesI needed a platform to create training for my employees and this has been exactly that. I started with onboarding and annual training - now I'm up to about eight courses and counting. My assistant loves that she can see when required training is completed and file the certificate straight into each person's HR folder. We can track student progress easily too.
We recently brought the platform on for our internal Communications and Crisis Management course, and it has pleasantly surprised us. We're set to launch in 15 days and we expect it to perform well - we anticipate high traffic and a lot of users in the first few days.
Noysi TeamInternal training programOne of my main services is helping clients with course development and design, then matching them to a delivery platform - so I work with a lot of tools. This is surprisingly turn-key: it hosts large videos, the interface is clean and easy, and it has payment processing, student management, quizzes, certificates and email all built in. I'll be directing my less-technical clients here.
Suzy W.Course design consultantI've used LMSs for over a decade within my business, and this is the best I've ever used because of how easy it is - the very first one I haven't had to consult any help files, docs, or videos for. The support is 10/10 too: every time I submit a question I get a response within 24 hours.
Jay ArmaniBusiness ownerYou've hit the jackpot - I can finally sell my courses! Congratulations on the user-friendliness for both admins and students; you've clearly thought of teachers who aren't computer experts. Thanks to your product, my marketing agency can now offer training as an additional service. And a shoutout to your technical team who helped me set up my domain - patient and highly competent.
OasisMarketing agencySomehow the learning curve was incredibly small - and I actually found it fun to use. I've used other course platforms where it was a complete mess, from the interface to support taking 25+ days just to let my students view videos. Here I haven't had a single problem and was able to put my course up immediately. I strongly recommend it.
Vinnie BriganceHypnotherapy trainerThat's quite a claim, I know. There's software from bigger companies with every bell and whistle - at a price. I've tried most of them. This is affordable with loads of functionality, actively developed by a team that clearly knows what it's doing, and the founder is genuinely on the case. Every time I've had a question or issue, it's been resolved quickly.
Harry MarbleCourse creatorI've tried them all. Vasco's knowledge and software is superb - the interface is easy to use and looks amazing. Thank you for producing such a high-quality product.
JlomeCourse creatorI'm a low-tech woman with a wish to teach online. In the past I've been stuck in all sorts of software, so I felt hesitant trying something new. But this works - within an hour I had a basic course published. It's simple, and also effective, with helpful text examples that make the how-to easier.
