TribeNest vs Teachable

Teachable taxesyour first 100 students.We don't.

Teachable Starter charges 7.5% per sale and caps you at 100 students. TribeNest is flat $29 with 0% transaction fees, unlimited students, plus memberships, streaming, ticketing, and email Teachable doesn't include — and Mira, an AI agent who watches every student through every module, catches broken videos before 50 students hit them, and drafts the recovery emails for you to approve.

§ 01, THE PRICING WEDGE

Teachable tiers learners. We don't.

Teachable's plans gate transaction fees, student counts, and integrations behind upgrades. TribeNest is one flat $29 a month with 0 percent transaction fees and unlimited students from the first day.

Teachable planMonthlyTx feeTribeNest
Starter$30/mo7.5%$29/mo
Builder$89/mo0%$29/mo

Teachable prices are 2026 monthly billing in USD. Starter ($30) has a 7.5% transaction fee plus a 100-student cap. Builder ($89), Growth ($139), and Advanced ($309) drop the transaction fee. The free plan was discontinued in 2025. TribeNest is flat $29 a month with 0% transaction fees on every plan.
§ 02, WHY CREATORS LEAVE

Three reasons creators leave Teachable.

Teachable invented the modern course platform. The pricing model and the missing tools are why people switch.

  • 01

    Starter taxes you twice.

    Starter is $30 a month with a 7.5 percent transaction fee and a 100-student cap. On a $5,000 month that is $375 in fees alone, and you can only enroll 100 people. The plan that looks affordable is the one that punishes growth.

  • 02

    $89 just to remove the fee.

    Removing the 7.5 percent fee means jumping to Builder at $89 a month. Growth is $139, Advanced is $309. The price ladder rewards Teachable's economy, not yours. TribeNest's 0 percent fee shows up at $29.

  • 03

    It's only courses.

    No real store, no live streaming, no event ticketing, no smart link page, basic email automation, limited memberships. Real creator businesses bolt on Shopify, Streamyard, Eventbrite, Patreon, and Mailchimp. Five tools, five bills, five logins.

§ 04, MEET MIRA

Mira watches every cohort so the course actually finishes.

Teachable hosts the lessons and walks away. Mira watches every student through every module, catches the broken video before 50 students hit it, finds the upsells that just started converting, and tells you which cohort is on track. She drafts the recovery emails and the lesson re-records — Teachable won't.

A · DAILY BRIEFING
She opens the day with cohort vital signs.

Mira diffs enrollment, module completion, refund risk, and revenue per student — and ties each shift back to a lesson, an email, or an upsell change.

Mira ▸ 8 enrolled overnight, you'll hit the 100-cap in 3 days. Module 2 dropping 61% — video link broke 4 days ago. I'll fix the link and email the 14 stuck students. Approve?
B · WHEN YOU ASK
Ask her anything about your students.

Talk to her like a senior course-success analyst. She knows enrollment funnel, module completion, refund signals, and upsell timing.

Mira ▸ Q: Why is Module 2 dropping 61% of students? A: Video link returns 404 — broke when you re-uploaded last Friday. Last cohort had 12% drop here. Suggest fix + 'sorry, here's a free coaching call' email. Want me to draft?
C · WHEN SHE NOTICES
She catches what your Teachable dashboard hides.

Broken video links, refund-risk students, upsells that just started converting, and plan-cap pressure that's about to force an upgrade.

Mira ▸ Heads up — 3 students opened refund tickets this week. All 3 stalled at the broken Module 2 video and never opened your check-in. I drafted a personal recovery + 30-day extension per student. Approve?
D · WHEN YOU HAVE A GOAL
Tell her the outcome you want.

She works backwards from the goal, finds the lessons and segments that move it, and queues the fixes, emails, and upsells that compound.

Mira ▸ Goal: 75% completion rate by next cohort. Plan: fix Module 2 video, split lesson 4, add checkpoint quiz, send re-engagement at day 7. Forecast: 73% completion. Want to ship?

§ 06, QUESTIONS

Common questions.

What every Teachable creator wants to know before switching.

Will TribeNest replace what I do in Teachable?

Yes. Drag-and-drop courses with drips, quizzes, certificates, video hosting, completion tracking, coupons, and bundles. Plus tiered memberships, store, streaming, ticketing, smart links, and email, which Teachable doesn't include.

How is $29 cheaper than Teachable Starter?

Teachable Starter is $30 a month with a 7.5% transaction fee and a 100-student cap. On a $5,000 month, fees alone are $375. TribeNest is $29 a month with 0 percent transaction fees and unlimited students. So you avoid both the fee and the upgrade-to-Builder-for-$89 jump.

Can I migrate my Teachable courses and students?

Yes. Export your Teachable course content (videos, modules, lessons) and re-upload as a course bundle in TribeNest. Export your student list as CSV with progress and tags, and import in one click. Most creators migrate in an afternoon.

Do students keep their progress?

Yes. Course progress, completion certificates, and quiz results carry over from the CSV import. Students get a branded email with a one-tap link to claim their account at the same enrolled course list.

What does the 14-day free trial include?

Full access to courses, memberships, store, streaming, ticketing, email marketing, smart links, and social scheduling. We ask for a card to verify your account. You won't be charged until day 15, and you can cancel any time before then.

What does Mira actually do for course creators on Teachable?

She watches every student through every module. Mira tracks completion per lesson, catches broken video links before 50 students hit them, identifies refund-risk students before they cancel, and surfaces upsells that just started converting. She drafts the lesson fixes, the recovery emails, and the personalized re-engagement messages. Teachable hosts the videos. Mira makes sure students finish.

Will Mira email students or change lessons without me approving?

No. Mira proposes — you approve. She drafts re-engagement emails, suggests lesson fixes, and queues upsell offers, but nothing sends or publishes until you tap approve. You can also auto-approve specific actions (like 'broken video' apology emails) once you trust her.

§ 07, MAKE THE SWITCH

Teach courses.
An AI watching every student.

Move your Teachable courses and students onto a flat $29 plan with 0% transaction fees, no 100-student cap, and Mira watching every cohort, catching broken videos, and drafting the recovery emails for you to approve.
