Switch over to Teachery and start making products and courses that match your brand seamlessly so you can stand out in the sea of endless online courses.
Built for courses, not bolted on
Thrivecart is a cart with a course feature (Learn+) gated behind another $195/year upgrade. Teachery is a course platform with everything you need built in: Unlimited courses, drip content, student management, affiliates, no upgrade required.
True lifetime pricing
After Thrivecart's Pro+ pivot, their $495 "lifetime" deal costs $985 in Year 1 and $1,575 by Year 3. Teachery's lifetime deal is $550. One time. Forever. No surprise annual fees for features you already paid for.
Affiliate management included
Thrivecart locks affiliate management behind Pro+ at $295 per year. Teachery includes full affiliate tracking, commission management, and payouts in every plan, including the lifetime deal. Run your affiliate program without the annual recurring charge.
Zero transaction fees, no upgrades
Both platforms pass through Stripe's processing fees, but Teachery never adds platform fees or asks you to upgrade as your business grows. Sell $10K or $1M, you keep the same percentage. No revenue caps, no tiered pricing that punishes your success.
"I've tried many different online course platforms and none of them felt as fun to use as Teachery. The ability to customize and personalize the look and feel of my courses has been incredible for my creativity!
The result? Thousands of happy students and over a million dollars in online course sales thanks to the magic of Teachery!"

Say Yes To Desire
"I knew Teachery was “The One” when I discovered how crazy extensive the customization options were.
As a designer, having full creative freedom and control over the visual aesthetic of my courses and digital products is a non-negotiable.
I’ve had so much fun creating beautiful Teachery themes for my own business, and for other course creators, and I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of Teachery’s potential!"

Thrivecart built its reputation on the lifetime deal promise, then it quietly moved essential features (affiliate management, EU tax compliance, dunning, advanced reporting) behind Pro+ at $295 per year. Course features moved to Learn+ at another $195 per year. What was a $495 one-time purchase now costs $985 in the first year alone.
Teachery's approach is different. We built a course platform with everything included, set a $550 lifetime price, and we're keeping it that way. The same lifetime deal you buy today is the same deal forever, with every future feature included.
