Teachable gets a course on sale quickly. Generate with AI drafts sections, lessons and a sales page on every plan, checkout handles order bumps, up to 10 upsells and abandoned carts, and learners get a free iOS and Android app. Teachable Payments also calculates and pays sales tax, VAT and GST in 45+ countries. Scholaxy covers what Teachable leaves to other tools or higher plans: cohorts with curators, webinars, a CRM with deal pipelines, a support inbox and automations.

• you would rather not handle sales tax: Teachable Payments calculates, collects and pays sales tax, VAT and GST in 45+ countries
• your buyers pay with local methods such as Pix, OXXO, SEPA or iDEAL: Go Global adds 35+ of them for 2.8%
• learners should find your course in an app today: Teachable's free app runs on iOS and Android on every plan
• you also sell on Hotmart: Teachable enrols and removes learners from Hotmart sales automatically
Scholaxy fits better if:
• you teach in groups: cohorts with dates, a curator and a seat limit. Teachable works with user tags plus an enrolment cap and a close date
• webinars sell your course: a webinar room with chat, polls and offers, and automated webinars on a schedule. Teachable runs live video through Zoom or embeds
• you need a place for learners to talk now: Teachable's community is paused for new schools, while Scholaxy has moderated group chats with forum topics and polls
• you want certificates, affiliates, email campaigns and automations on your first plan. Teachable puts certificates on Growth, affiliates and email on Builder, Zapier, webhooks and the API on Growth
• emails should come from your own domain; Teachable always sends from its own
Teachable Starter costs $39 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly, and Teachable keeps 7.5% of each sale. Builder ($89, or $69 yearly) and Growth ($189, or $139 yearly) take 0%. There is no free plan.
Teachable plans are capped at 5, 10 or 50 products. Certificates start on Growth; affiliates, email marketing and a custom domain on Builder.
Scholaxy starts at $79 a month for up to 1,000 active learners and 100 GB of storage. The platform fee is 0% on every plan, no feature is held back for a higher plan, and your payment processor's own fees apply.
1. Export your learners and transactions from Teachable as CSV files.
2. In Scholaxy, open Import students in the Students section and upload a CSV or XLSX file with the columns email, full_name and phone, up to 500 learners per file. Accounts that already exist are skipped, and new learners can go straight into a group.
3. The import sends no emails. Send learners an invitation link to their course or group, or ask them to set a password with "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page.
4. Teachable does not export a whole course; files come out one at a time. Upload your videos and files into Scholaxy lessons, after the guided course setup builds the course skeleton from 9 questions.
5. Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Mercado Pago account and set up your offers and promo codes.
6. Point your domain at Scholaxy with a TXT and a CNAME record; the TLS certificate is issued automatically.
