Revenue & traffic analytics

Built-in reports for views, conversions, and earnings.

Three things we do better than Teachable for coaches.

Where Mentoring Page is the obvious pick — by design.

Coaching is the core, not the side dish

Teachable started as a course platform and bolted coaching on. The defaults — product types, dashboard, templates — still center the course catalog. Mentoring Page is built around the session: native availability, calendar sync, ICS feeds, automated reminders, intake forms, packages, and retainers as first-class product types.

Every feature on day one for $37/month

Email broadcasts, automation sequences, the affiliate program, and the community module on Teachable all live behind the $89 Builder tier (or higher). Mentoring Page Coach Pro includes all of them — plus lead magnets, cart abandonment, and reviews — at $37 from the very first plan.

0% platform fees from your first sale

Teachable's Starter plan ($39/mo) charges a 7.5% transaction fee on every sale — you have to upgrade to Builder at $89/mo just to keep all of your revenue. Mentoring Page is 0% platform commission on every plan, every product, from the first dollar.

Choose according to your business and workflow.

Both tools are good at what they're built for. The honest question: which job is yours?

TL;DR

Pick Teachable if

Self-paced video courses are your main product — coaching is a side offer
Quizzes, certificates, drip content, and a branded student app matter to your business
You can absorb $89–$189/month to access email, affiliates, and 0% transaction fees

TL;DR

Pick Mentoring Page if

1:1 and group coaching are core to your practice, not a secondary product
You want native calendar sync, ICS feeds, and automated session reminders
You'd rather pay $37/month — every feature included, 0% platform fees from day one
