How this was gathered
Every figure on this page was read off teachable.com/pricing on 6 August 2026. Nothing here comes from a review site, an affiliate roundup, a press release or memory, and there are no affiliate links on it. Where Teachable publishes no figure for something, this page records that it is not published rather than modelling a plausible one. Prices are list prices in US dollars before any promotion, and exclude the extras listed further down, which depend on volume and on your own sales and therefore cannot be totalled for anybody in general. No rating, score or rank is published here — this page contains Teachable's published prices and terms, and nothing that is an opinion except the section that says it is.
