Additional Details

Pricing for software-as-a-service should be simple and straightforward. All you need as a starting point is to identify your business needs and which parts of the EHS software might be valuable to your organization. Once you know what you need out of the software, you must identify what safety training programs are needed and what amount of training is needed. There are three options for online courses: Pay-as-You-Go: This is perfect for companies that need a few courses here and there. You can pick and choose what you need from the entire library and pay for only what you use. Pre-Paid Codes: This is valuable when you need to purchase 50–100 seats or more. Simply reach out to our team with the specific details, and we can touch base with the content owner(s) for volume pricing discounts. All Access: This is by far the best value. You pay a set amount per person, per month and have unlimited access to a full package of online safety training programs. See examples below. Six sample pricing models are mapped out . Standard Full Featured LMS Pricing uses the Pay-as-You-Go model for course pricing. The Custom System Pricing allows you to pick and choose the various parts of the software that you are interested in using and calculates tailored pricing for your company instantly. The other 4 options offer all the system features and functionality, plus a comprehensive library of online safety training programs. For a package that includes courses only, or for a specific combination of courses and features, reach out to one of our team members for more details.

Cons	No answers on this topic	I would add some more blocks for page design to have more options as to what I can do, like a proper gallery where you can open and close images. I would expand the text options within specific blocks, like being able to hit enter inside a text box and having my paragraphs separated if I wanted to. Adding new integrations would be awesome, so you don't have to pass through Zapier. Maybe a ClickFunnels integration? Incentivized Stephanie Herrera Co-Founder Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We will continue to use Thinkific for our company pieces of training.

Usability	No answers on this topic	Under Site Builder, when trying to add a new section, so many templates appear; however, preview is not shown, which makes it super difficult and time consuming to identify a template that suits the purpose. Customization of certification designs is a bit difficult too. There are limitations to the type of quiz questions I can create - for example, there's no option to have fill in the blank questions.

Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	I've never had any issues with accessing Thinkific but I can see when it has been a problem for others.

Performance	No answers on this topic	When it comes to the performance of Thinkific for me I find that it's good but could be better. I tend to think that the larger the files and videos you upload on your courses may add to the impact of it's uploading (not sure if that's actually true or not). But overall the performance of Thinkific via my tablet and desktop is very good when I have a fast speed broadband speed Incentivized Ayo Bamgbose Assoc CIPD MSc Online digital business coach Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I rate Thinkific a ten because of its excellent customer service, ease of use, high-quality product, fair price with excellent ROI, and because they keep making improvements.

It's easy to create a course website for people who can't write code. Incentivized Joe Gatto Internet Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	The implementation period took time like it would in earning and using any new tool. It was more about being organised, having better time management processes in place and having people you were able to reach out to if you were every able stuck. The other key ting with the implementation period was giving yourself a realistic time scale to get the job completed.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	I think Thinkific is way better than Udemy. The Udemy platform was not user friendly, they require you submitting for approval before you can even upload a course and have so many restrictions. They never even approved my course, nor did they email me as to why. The support is not there like it is for Thinkific. Also, with Udemy, it feels like you are competing with so many people because they are given other options in comparison to you vs on Thinkific, it truly is your own. You do your own marketing and when people come to your landing page, it is all they see. They can't venture off of it to go to the next person who is on Thinkific. I love Thinkific and tell everyone to get on it. People say to me they want to know my ROI before they decide to invest in it. They want to know that it actually works.
