Common questions
Does Teachable work with Kit?
Yes, one way. Teachable adds students to Kit when they enroll. It doesn't send progress or completion. To let a Kit tag enroll someone, you need Zapier, and Zapier needs Teachable's Growth plan ($189 a month).
What does Teachable's Starter plan cost?
$39 a month, plus 7.5% of each sale. Cedarras takes no cut of your sales. Kit charges its own fee when you sell through Kit.
Can Cedarras do everything Teachable does?
No. Cedarras doesn't host video (you use YouTube or Vimeo for your videos), and it has no checkout or app of its own. It does courses on top of Kit, and does that well.
