Considered Both Products
Looop
Chose Looop
Loop is affordable and racks up a low cost per user than other similar learning management systems we evaluated. Looop also integrates well with our Core HR system. This system being Oracle, Looop integrates well to extract, transfer and load critical data that it needs for its …
Chose Looop
Looop is much better when it comes on ease of use for users as well as for administrators. So if you company does not have a full-fledged Learning and Developement team, then any HR Generalist can double up as admin with a few click of buttons for the entire company and set up …
Teachable
Chose Teachable
The platform is more atractive than others. This one has more features and allows more control over your students. Plus is cheaper in the long run.
Chose Teachable
It's honestly just worked really well for us in terms of serving the actual course content. Plus, our customers can maintain one profile and use that to access all of the courses and bonuses that they've acquired from us. And the cost of Teachable has been very reasonable in …
Chose Teachable
I evaluated Teachable against Thinkific and Kajabi when I started the business. I get regular pitches from new to market comeptitors. However the cost/effort of switching is not justified by the incremental features or better terms they offer. So, I have not recently …
Chose Teachable
Thinkific is light years beyond Teachable. Thinkific is wonderful. Their UI is better. They have much better customer service and don't falsely advertise their services. Teachable is the opposite of everything good.

User Testimonials
LooopTeachable
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for small and mid-market companies to automate Learning and Development and to improve compliance for certain mandatory trainings (like IT security training, sexual harassment training, etc.). Good for finding out insights and analytics on training and certification compliance of employees and partners. Optimized for almost any device - be it Mobile, Web or Tablet

Teachable is excellent to work with as a software platform. However, after change of ownership, they made a massive price hike to legacy users, and stripped away many of the benefits that early adopters had enjoyed. All with next to no communication and transition. This burned a lot of trust and is the only reason for a7 rather than a 9.

Because we haven't had any major issues with it. The platform is really simple to use and the content can be uploaded and modified very easily. It has a drag and drop feature that makes everything fast and easy. Their support has always answered our questions or concerns and the cost is affodable. We will keep using it in the future.

Because it's easier to use both as administrators and both as user. We have never heard of any users having issues login in or going through the lectures or completing the course

Support Rating

Their support is good overal. There are a couple of things that I would change, like answering faster. Sometimes they take a day to answer a concern and that's kind of annoying considering sometimes there are urgent issues we have to deal with. But the support has been good, they have answered properly.

Implementation Rating
No answers on this topic
I'd say: learn the system first, try it out and then publish the content with customers. There are a couple of features that will cause issues with customers (especially lazy ones) but I'd say it's easy to implement and modify if needed. People don't need to train much to use Teachable, but they should take their time to know it.

Return on Investment
  • Easier to manage performance tracking.
  • Easier to track assigned learning.
  • Lots of content to assign with diverse range of subjects.
Read full review
  • We were out the money and time of loading all courses onto Teachable, paying their fees, and then having to scramble to transfer thousands of students to another platform and pay all the setups again.
