Teachable is a fair deal in dollars. A reliable course player, 0% transaction fee from the Builder plan, and US sales tax and EU VAT handled for you. If your students are abroad, it is hard to argue with.

For an Indian creator selling to Indian students, the fit is worse. Starter is $39 a month and still takes 7.5%; getting to 0% costs $89 a month — about ₹8,500 at ₹96 to the dollar — and the checkout is built for cards, not UPI.

These are the alternatives, starting with the ones built for rupees.

Worth asking before you move 🤔

What does Teachable cost?

Starter is $39 a month ($29 billed annually) with a 7.5% transaction fee. Builder is $89 a month ($69 annually) and Growth $189 a month ($139 annually), both with 0% transaction fee. Payment processing applies on every plan.

Does Teachable work for Indian students?

Indian students can pay by card, but Teachable's checkout is built for dollar and card markets. Most small Indian purchases are paid by UPI, so a rupee checkout with UPI usually converts better for an Indian audience.

Which Teachable alternative is cheapest in India?

At low volume, a free plan with a commission — TagMango or Exly at 10% — costs least. Above about ₹13,000 of monthly sales, Pullsy Store's flat ₹1,299 with 0% commission is cheaper than any percentage.
