Thinkific vs Learndash
Is Thinkific Better than Learndash? (2023 updated)
You’ve heard of these two platforms in the world of online courses, but is Thinkific better than Learndash? Let’s find out.
Thinkific vs Learndash: The judgement criteria
Is it scalable?
On Thinkific, you can set up unlimited course, group, and site admin accounts. It’s extremely easy to use and provides you with features to customize your courses as you see fit. You can also develop multiple pages apart from your sales page without compromising on speed.
Learndash is built around WordPress, making it less scalable than a dedicated learning management system. Most of the available plugins won’t be able to handle a large influx of students onto the website. The website will also become slower when you add more plugins, which limits your ability to provide more features to your students. It will also require manual updates, resulting in a lot of technical hassle.How much will it cost you?
With Thinkific, you’ll get a free plan where you can launch your course, albeit with less features than the paid versions.If you’re okay with shelling out some money to customize your course further, you can choose one of the following subscriptions plans.
Basic: $39/month
Pro: $79/month
Premier: $399/month
Learndash is more cost-efficient than Thinkific. It has three paid plans that are billed annually with a 15-day money back guarantee. They include:
Basic: $159/year
Plus: $189/year
Pro: $329/yearHow user-friendly is it?
Thinkific is quite well-known for its intuitive UI and UX, both for admins and students. While developing your course, you won’t need to use any code at all because the platform provides you with premade templates.
Compared to Thinkific, Learndash has a steep learning curve. It is more focused on setting up a website from the ground up with various integrations, which means you’ll need to learn multiple tools to leverage the platform well. You can’t build your page or course on Learndash directly, so you’ll have to do it through a third-party integration.

The difference is in our DNA
We're content creators, teachers AND community builders.
And, we know how everything ties together to make a business.
We've been teaching online since 2018. We ran one of the world's largest educational communities from 2019-2021 and scaled to $500,000 revenue by selling cohort-based courses. We kept hopping from one software to another because the experience of actually using all available software is bad.
This led us to build Graphy Community Platform - an all-in-one platform to run your courses, cohorts, webinars, events, voice chat rooms, etc. - on mobile & web (100% white-labeled).
