Teachable charges 5–10% on every sale depending on your plan. SprintUp Education takes nothing on tuition sold through your own school. Stripe fees only — that's it.

Teachable gives you course sales pages. SprintUp Education gives you a complete campus: student portal, classrooms, departments, school website, and cohort management.

Teachable is built for individual creators selling self-paced courses to consumers — think online coaching, personal development, and hobbyist content.

SprintUp Education also has no transaction fees on your own school sales, versus Teachable's 5–10% per transaction on lower plans.
No. When you sell enrolments through your own school website on SprintUp Education, you keep 100% of the revenue — there are no platform transaction fees. Stripe processing fees apply (approximately 1.4% + €0.20 for EU cards). When you sell curriculum through the SprintUp Education marketplace to other schools, you keep 70% of every sale.
Yes. Live video classes are built into every campus and are included at no extra cost. Teachers schedule sessions, students join from the student portal, and recordings can be attached to the course. Teachable does not offer live classes.
Yes. SprintUp Education has a B2B curriculum marketplace where schools discover and purchase curriculum from creators. You earn 70% of every adoption. Teachable has no equivalent — it is a consumer platform designed for individual course sales, not institutional curriculum licensing.
It depends on your model. Teachable works well for solo creators selling to individual learners on a subscription or one-off basis. SprintUp Education works better for educators who want to run a real school: manage cohorts, hold live classes, use AI for lesson planning, and sell curriculum to other institutions. If you want zero transaction fees and a B2B marketplace alongside your school, SprintUp Education is the stronger choice.
