When should you upgrade your Teachable plan?

Upgrade from Free to Basic ($59/mo) when monthly course revenue exceeds $1,180 — that's when the 5% plan fee savings exceed the $59 subscription cost. Upgrade to Pro ($159/mo) at ~$3,180/month revenue.

What is the Teachable Free plan fee?

10% transaction fee + $1 flat per transaction + Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30). For a $100 course sale: $10 + $1 + $3.20 = $14.20 in fees, leaving $85.80.

Does the Teachable Pro plan have zero transaction fees?

Yes. Teachable Pro and above charge 0% transaction fee. You still pay Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30, but the platform itself takes nothing beyond the monthly subscription.
