Pullsy Store vs Teachable

Teachable's Starter plan is $39 a month and still takes 7.5% of each sale; reaching 0% costs $89 a month, around ₹8,500. Pullsy Store is ₹799 a month with no commission at any tier, and settles in rupees rather than dollars.

₹7,745more in your pocket every month, on ₹1,00,000 of sales

Updated 21 September 2026

Teachable has been selling courses since before most of this category existed, and its course player is the part nobody complains about. Students find it, use it, and finish things in it.

Its pricing has the familiar shape. The $39 Starter plan takes 7.5% of every sale on top of the subscription. Zero commission begins on Builder, at $89 a month — about ₹8,500, ten times what this costs, before anything has sold.

For a creator earning in rupees, the subscription is the problem long before the commission is.

What Pullsy Store charges 🏪

₹799 a month, and 0% of every sale. There is no second plan, no volume tier and no rate that improves if you negotiate — there is nothing to negotiate about. Payments settle through a merchant account in your own name, so the gateway's charge is yours and ours is ₹799.

The difference, on real numbers 🧮

You sold, in a month	Teachable takes	Pullsy Store takes	You keep
₹25,000	₹5,619 (Starter)	₹799	+₹4,820
₹50,000	₹7,494 (Starter)	₹799	+₹6,695
₹1,00,000	₹8,544 (Builder)	₹799	+₹7,745
₹3,00,000	₹8,544 (Builder)	₹799	+₹7,745
₹10,00,000	₹8,544 (Builder)	₹799	+₹7,745

Teachable's column always picks whichever of its own plans is cheapest at that volume, so the comparison is against its best case rather than its worst. Subscription plus platform commission only; payment gateway charges are excluded on both sides. Plans read from Teachable's pricing page on 2026-09-21.

There is no crossover. Teachable's cheapest plan costs ₹3,744 in a month where you sell nothing at all, which is already more than ₹799.

Where Teachable is the better choice 🤝

A mature, reliable course player that students rarely complain about.
Zero transaction fee from a mid plan, which is genuinely a fair deal in dollars.
Handles US sales tax and EU VAT for you, which matters if you sell there.

If you sell to the United States or Europe, Teachable handles US sales tax and EU VAT for you, which is a genuinely unpleasant job to do yourself and a real reason to pay. For an Indian creator selling to Indian buyers, that machinery is switched off and you are paying for it anyway.

The difference that is not a percentage

Most platforms in this market are the merchant. The buyer pays them, their provider settles to their account, and you are paid afterwards on a schedule they publish.

On Pullsy Store you are the merchant. A five-minute verification — PAN, Aadhaar, a bank account in your own name — leaves you holding your own merchant account, and the payment gateway settles to your bank directly, on its own cycle. We never hold the money, which means we could not delay it if we wanted to.

Why that matters on a bad day

Worth asking before you move 🤔

Does Teachable have a free plan?

Not in its current published pricing. The cheapest plan is Starter at $39 a month, or $29 billed annually, and it carries a 7.5% transaction fee. Zero transaction fee begins on Builder at $89 a month.

What is Teachable in rupees?

At ₹96 to the dollar, Starter is about ₹3,700 a month, Builder about ₹8,500 and Growth about ₹18,100. The rate moves, so treat these as approximations and check the current dollar price before committing.

Can I sell in rupees on Teachable?

Teachable supports multiple currencies, but the account, the payouts and the support hours are built around dollars. Selling in rupees and being paid in dollars adds a conversion in each direction and a settlement delay you do not control.
