Mobile updates have also allowed for greater efficiency as so many more users are utilizing mobile phones more now so these have been critical changes that have kept it in the top tier for course builders. > > **Cons**: The interface has greatly improved so now I would say just continuing to add more advanced features and functions that are easy to select are next areas of improvements I would like to see. > > A great experience overall as it is one of the simplest course builder platforms that has so many options for customizability yet is easy to navigate. I also love the changes and improvements with management course monetary success overall and over a period of time. ----- ### "Thinkific is a fantastic online learning platform" — 5.0/5 > **Linda** | *August 14, 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Versatile, well organized, easy to learn. Free until you get going. > > **Cons**: - Terrible discussion forum (we wish they would link up with website tool box). - Their pricing plans have changed in ways that don't work well for us and they have not been responsive to our feedback. > > We are growing into an international learning community with the help of Thinkific. ----- ### "I love my Thinkific" — 5.0/5 > **Anthony** | *February 20, 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of course creation and adding downloadable PDFs. I also love the fact that thinkific has monthly payment options for my students\! > > **Cons**: Nothing really to be disappointed about with thinkific course creating abilities and lesson formation. > > From start to finish with my course creation, it has been great for a person like me who is not very tech savvy\! I Alison like the social hub set up for my cohort students\! ----- ### "Covers the basics" — 3.0/5 > **French** | *October 10, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It gets the job done if your needs are basic. It’s straightforward to use and handles core functions like organizing content, course creation and managing users, but it doesn’t go much beyond that - in my case. > > **Cons**: As our needs evolved, Thinkific just couldn’t keep up. It’s fine for basic course delivery, but we eventually needed more flexibility and functionality than the platform could offer — which is why we decided to move on. > > Overall, it was a decent experience. Thinkific worked well when our needs were fairly simple — it’s reliable for basic course setup and delivery. But as things grew and we needed more advanced features and flexibility, it became clear that it wasn’t the right long-term fit for us. ----- ### "Truth For all" — 5.0/5 > **Avril** | *December 13, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the things I like is that I don’t have to know anything about coding for me to be able to make a website. > > **Cons**: If I had to choose one it would be that the free option isn’t available. It gave me more options when creating courses. > > There is a bit of reading and experimentation necessary. However it’s pretty intuitive to use once you have minimal editing skills. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/132888/thinkific?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/132888/thinkific) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
