Comparison - Edmingle vs Teachable
Teachable wasn't built for India.
Edmingle was.
Every Indian trainer on Teachable is working around the same gaps — no UPI, no GST, no WhatsApp, no DRM, and no branded app on any plan. Edmingle gives you India-native payments, live delivery, DRM content security, SCORM compliance, a branded mobile app, and Edmingle AI — at INR pricing, with 0% transaction fees.

What every Indian trainer is missing on Teachable
These aren't advanced features. They're basics that any platform built for India includes from day one.
No UPI. No Razorpay. No GST.
NOT AVAILABLE ON TEACHABLEYour learners can't pay via UPI or Razorpay — the way 80% of Indians transact online. There's no GST invoicing for your business. Edmingle supports UPI, Razorpay, PayU, and GST invoicing natively on every plan.
7.5% on every transaction — on the entry plan.
TEACHABLE STARTER FEESell a ₹5,000 course to 10 students on Teachable Starter: they take ₹3,750 in platform fees, on top of Stripe's processing fee. Edmingle charges 0% transaction fees on every plan, always.
No branded mobile app. On any plan. Ever.
NOT AVAILABLE ON TEACHABLEYour learners access content through a generic 'Teachable' app — not yours. Edmingle includes your own branded Android app from ₹14,999/mo. Android + iOS from ₹29,999/mo. Your name, your logo, your store listing.
No DRM. Any learner can screen-record your content.
NOT AVAILABLE ON TEACHABLETeachable has no native DRM. Your course videos are unprotected. Edmingle has L1 DRM encryption, dynamic watermarking, and multi-device restrictions — native on all plans, no third-party tools needed.

Where Edmingle goes further — for every Indian trainer
Three structural advantages that aren't tied to your size or stage.
Unlimited courses. 0% fees. No student caps. No surprises.
- Publish unlimited courses on every plan. No hard student caps. No transaction fees — ever.
- Teachable restructured pricing in June 2025 — many customers' bills doubled or tripled. Edmingle's pricing is stable and transparent.
UPI, WhatsApp, GST — not workarounds. Native.
- Every sale goes through India-native payment rails. Every invoice is GST-compliant. Every learner communication runs on WhatsApp.
- Indian trainers on Teachable build workarounds for all of this. On Edmingle, it's built in from day one.
DRM, live sessions, and SCORM — native, not add-ons.
- Your learners use your app — not a generic Teachable app. Content is DRM-protected from day one. Live sessions are native, not a third-party add-on.
- Teachable has no branded app, no DRM, no SCORM, and no live sessions on any plan. These aren't missing features — they're structural absences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about switching from Teachable.
If your question isn't here, a 30-minute demo will answer it — tailored to your business.
Book a DemoWe have a proven migration process and our team supports you through every step — course content, student data, and your branding. Most businesses are operational on Edmingle within 7–14 days. One thing to plan for: students accessing content via the Teachable app will need to download your new branded Edmingle app. We'll guide you through the learner communication plan for that transition.
Longevity doesn't mean the platform is built for your market. Teachable restructured its pricing in 2025 — many Indian trainers saw their bills double or triple overnight. Edmingle is purpose-built for Indian training businesses, with INR pricing, no transaction fees, and a roadmap driven by what Indian operators actually need. Stability here means predictable pricing and a platform that grows with you.
You don't have to use everything on day one. Edmingle is designed to grow with you — start with course delivery and payments, then layer in live sessions, WhatsApp marketing, or a branded app when you're ready. Unlike Teachable, you won't hit a wall as you scale. And you're not paying for features you don't use — plans are structured around active learners, not a feature gating model.
Edmingle supports affiliate and referral tracking natively. You can set up commission structures for affiliates, track conversions, and manage payouts — all from within the platform. If you have an existing affiliate network on Teachable, our migration team will help you map it across.
Yes. Edmingle supports international payments via Stripe and PayPal alongside India-native UPI and Razorpay. You can run INR and USD pricing simultaneously across different learner segments. The platform is India-first, but there's nothing restricting international enrolments or multi-currency delivery.
