Thinkific Plus is a scalable learning platform that’s designed to be easy to use for teams and customers. Thinkific Plus offers enterprise-grade features that scale with the needs of enterprises, and the service includes a people seriously dedicated to helping users to reach their goals.
I've let them know about the unique features of certain of our places. The same rules apply even if the site is set up in an unconventional way. As a result, everything may be tailored to the user's specific requirements. Due to their proficiency, several of these places are …
Hotschedules Train compares to blackboard because I am able to track everything a whole lot easier. It also allows me to input all kinds of documents instead of strictly word or excel documents. I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source …
I am a CHART board member and learned about HotSchedules from their organization becoming involved in CHART. We work hard to support our vendors. We did not look at a lot of other options.
We use Pulse for tracking our daily targets, labor percentages, and cogs. You're not able to schedule, hire, or train employees with pulse but its really good a tracking daily sales and targets for multiple venues. With pulse I only need one account to view numbers and cogs for …
We did a lot of research looking for the right LMS - Wisetail, Skillsoft, and Cornerstone. We selected Schoox because we already used HotSchedules in our organization and also because of its cost.
We reviewed and in some cases tested many other options for employee training. Some worked well for salaried employees but would require too much time to manage hourly employees, some had good platforms but could not easily merge with our current systems. We began using …
We did not use Wisetail, but we went through several weeks of training calls when we were deciding between that LMS and Schoox. We selected Schoox because of the integration with HotSchedules, something we already used, and the ongoing ease it would provide in shifting job …
We looked at multiple different platforms but because it's tied with HotSchedules, it allows us to keep everything under one umbrella and less logins. The customer service at Hot Schedules has also been instrumental in all of our decisions. Their team is awesome.

Chose Schoox
An LMS being provided by an external vendor that was really about videos but weren't custom to our brand. HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox lets us customize everything so it is part of our brand and earns our new hire teammates' trust. We were already HotSchedule users and …
Train has great functionally and is easy to use, and its tie-in with HotSchedules made it a simple transition from Inquisiq. Inquisiq was a great tool for us at the time, but we grew out of it and Train was the most logical next step due to integration, pricing, and scaling.
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 …
I believe that the rates and the over all set up and view are better than both. I also like the separation site. Having your own custom site is so much better for business and being able to create landing pages as well. It’s a great value
I’ve used both platforms and found Thinkific to be far more intuitive and flexible than Teachable. The layout of the dashboard feels cleaner and more user-friendly, which makes managing courses a smoother experience. I particularly appreciated the level of control Thinkific …
I don't have experience with other platforms, therefore my opinion is limited. However, a big reason I went with Thinkific was that an organization I did leadership development for used it to create their own course. I liked the experience and wanted to replicate it for myself. …
We used Academy of Mine before Thinkific - for us it was a horrid expereince - terribly clunky interface, customer support lacking, horrid fornt end experience for learners, even worst backend experience for users.
We evaluted many others, but our priority was conenction with …
I inherited Thinkific when I stepped into my role. But my colleagues chose Thinkific because it offered a good balance of commerce-ready, user-friendly interface, and tiered pricing plans
We ended up choosing Thinkific over competitors because of the ease of use to initially get started. The pricing and packaging were favorable for our use case and needs, and the customer support was strong as we were initially getting started with a few challenging items such …
This review is only for the course building functionality. We moved to Articulate 360 for the course building portion of the program because it's way more feature rich and have been please with it's capabilities. We've yet to investigate other LMS options because we've been so …
We used a training platform called Rise. While it was a good platform to build and host courses, it gave us zero room for custom options and or branding. Thinkific allowed us to create our own branded website to house courses, and hide content based on where they are in their …
Thinkific is much better than Skilljar, which why we decided to migrate. First, the payment structure is not MAU-based, which is great. AI integration is much better, and I can generate captions for my courses using AI, which wasn't possible with Skilljar. Also, Skilljar didn't …
I think that Thinkific has a lot of the same features as many other products, except these features are all found in one central location (for the most part) vs having to use several different apps and platforms. While there are some things that other platforms do better, like …
Thinkific Plus stands out for its simplicity and intuitive user interface, making it much easier to teach and adopt, especially for non-technical staff or partners. While comparable platforms offer similar features, Thinkific’s ease of use significantly reduces onboarding time …
Thinkific Plus was better or similar in user accessibility, ability to easily create new content, usability for internal administration, had all the essential features we were looking for plus many additional features, and had the highest satisfaction ratings from our students …
We migrated from Teachable to Thinkific because we had multiple issues with the Teachable platform. We had issues with purchases going through correctly and with people getting the content they were supposed to get. We did not have these issues with Teachable. While LearnDash …
We have special locations that work differently and I have recommended this to them. Even for locations set up differently, it still applies. Because everything can be personalized to fit the need of the user. These locations have become so adept at it that they have become admins themselves so they can implement their ideas immediately. I have yet to come across a scenario where this is not appropriate
Thinkific is well-suited if you want to host an online course and have a variety of materials, such as videos, PDFs, and assignments. A plus is that you can host a community linked to your course, making it easy to give feedback.
Enables course creators to deliver high quality courses very fast
Offers unlimited hosting for videos included in the subscription price
Provides an easy to use administration interface that's powerful and accessible
Easy to scale subscription tiers on B2C plans, cost effective highly scaleable B2B plans (Thinkific Plus) ideal for companies who want to start a customer education program
Amazing support and account management team - great mindset and people in the teams.
Looking up an individual employee's progress on line is very simple and intuitive. But finding the right report for training is not and can take lots of time to find what you are looking for.
The mobile app needs to have more of the social features like the Leader Board and creating a new message.
We have 9 different concepts in our training academy, I would like to be able to restrict the courses and curricula to those that only apply to specific concepts. Similar to how the content can be assigned to different units.
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?
We will continue to use Thinkific for our company pieces of training. Until we are able to create our own in house portal, this is an excellent source to have a learning management software tool that is easy to use and easy to implement without much technical training to administer
I rate it at a 7 because I think first and foremost the value outweighs any of the improvements I'd like to see. Consistency in message is king. I feel as though the verbiage used is often confusing, the interface could be more intuitive and the academy should be able to be more customizable for the brand
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.
I've never had any issues with accessing Thinkific but I can see when it has been a problem for others. When I get updates on when they are doing maintenance to their platform I tend to make sure that is not the day I plan to be working on my school so as not to get frustrated
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
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. Using Thinkific solved the problems of piecing together our course with various WordPress plugins, iframes, and payment processing software. It's easy to create a course website for people who can't write code.
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.
Hotschedules Train compares to Blackboard because I am able to track everything a whole lot easier. It also allows me to input all kinds of documents instead of strictly word or excel documents. I am able to upload personal videos as well as bring in videos from another source (such as youtube). The reporting is simple and efficient through Schoox and I think overall the navigation is easier from a user and administrative standpoint.
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.
The opportunities to scale your online course business with Thinkific is endless. They provide a great range of plans with features, integrations and support to suit the needs of any business as different levels. The key here is knowing where to start with the budget you have and then knowing when it's time to scale up and the tools and resources it will require.
