Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Schoox

  • High workforce churn punishes any per registered user pricing, and organisations that do not actively archive leavers end up billed for a population far larger than their headcount.
  • Enterprise analytics and competency modelling are lighter than in office focused corporate platforms, so buyers arriving from that market find reporting shallower than expected.
  • Franchise deployments depend on franchisee cooperation that the franchisor cannot compel, so completion rates vary by location in ways the platform reports but cannot fix.
  • Staff use personal phones and personal data allowances in many deployments, which raises fairness and in some jurisdictions legal questions the vendor does not resolve for you.
  • Integration with human resources and scheduling systems is where most implementation time goes, and stale employee feeds produce training assigned to leavers and missed for new starters.

Teachable

  • Starter plan charges 7.5% transaction fee, significantly higher than other plans
  • Student limits lift only at $10k+ annual sales for higher plans
  • No free tier, only 7-day trial
  • Custom plan requires sales contact with minimum $30k/year revenue

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Schoox: Why does the pricing unit matter so much here?

Frontline turnover can exceed one hundred per cent a year. Per registered user pricing bills for accumulated accounts, per active user pricing bills only for monthly logins, and the gap between the two can be several times the annual cost.

Teachable: Does Teachable have a free plan?

Teachable offers a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee, but no permanent free plan. The Starter plan costs $39/month (or $29/month annually).

Schoox: Can staff without a company email address use it?

Yes. That is a core design assumption in this segment, and accounts can be provisioned without corporate email.

Teachable: What are the transaction fees?

Starter plan charges 7.5% transaction fee. Builder, Growth, and Advanced plans charge 0% transaction fees. Additional payment processing fees of 2.9%-4.99% plus per-transaction charges apply depending on payment method.

Source
Schoox: Does it work for franchise networks?

Yes. Central content with local administration by franchisee is a standard configuration, though completion still depends on franchisee cooperation rather than on the software.

Teachable: What integrations are available?

Teachable integrates with Zapier, Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Google Analytics, Calendly, Zoom, and other tools via the App Hub.

Source
