Which choice is right for you? Thinkific or LearnWorlds?

An easy-to-use course builder is the most important part of any course platform. It should allow you to create an engaging and memorable learning experience for your students.

Both Thinkific and LearnWorlds offer the features necessary to build an engaging course, such as adding videos and creating quizzes.

The main difference is that Thinkific is easier to use, whereas customers have shared that the LearnWorlds interface is confusing and can be difficult to use and update. With Thinkific's drag-and-drop builder, you can select the files you want and easily add them into the course. It’s intuitive, time-efficient, and you can add and edit a great variety of multimedia.

A great learning experience is vital to your success as a course creator. It will help your students learn more effectively and make them want to share it with their friends — helping you grow your business.

Both Thinkific and LearnWorlds offer a wide breath of in-house engagement tools. Thinkific, however, offers more integrations with third-party apps which allow you to gamify and modernize the learning experience beyond any other course platform. Another powerful differentiator for Thinkific is your course can be completley customized so that it reflects your brand.

With an open API and app store, the Thinkific platform will never hold you back.

After publishing your course, you need to get it in front of the right audience. Sales and marketing tools enable creators to gain visibility and earn revenue.

Thinkific and LearnWorlds provides a similar set of built-in marketing and sales tools to help you earn revenue from your course—such as bundles, coupons, website and landing page templates, and affiliate management.

With both platforms you will need to integrate with third party apps in order to market and sell your course. This is where Thinkific has the edge over LearnWorlds. With 90+ integrations in the App Store, you have access to the best tools in the business for marketing and email automation, increasing sales, and enhancing the learning experience through gamification. Gain the extensibility and flexibility of apps like ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Shopify, Salesforce, and many more. These apps are created by developers for Thinkific and can be downloaded, installed, and implemented without any coding required for all Thinkific users.

Thinkific also provides access to an expert marketplace where you can hire marketing consultants who are experts at the Thinkific platform to help you launch your course and generate more sales.

It’s important to choose a course platform that you can trust. Getting the answers to your questions should be easy and your data should be secure.

LearnWorld's support is limited and based out of Europe and there is no 24/7 chat feature. Customers have complained about slow response times and a lack of meaningful guidance. Creators who want more dedicated support should choose Thinkific.

Whether you’re looking for a network of experts, a community of peers, or a responsive support team; Thinkific has you covered. In addition, as your business grows and your learning platform becomes mission-critical, Thinkific offers more security and support options to ensure your success.

A course platform is a big investment. Not only do you want a tool that fits your budget, but it should also satisfy your needs now and into the future.

LearnWorlds only offers three pricing tiers that work well for solopreneurs. They also do not offer a free plan, so you're not able to test and experiment with the platform, and your course, before you start paying. This is a huge barrier to course creators who need ample experimentation time before they are ready to monetize.

Thinkific offers tiers for early-stage businesses all the way to enterprise. With add-on features like a Branded Mobile app ($199/mo) and more, no matter what stage you’re in, you have access to the functionality you need. Thinkific provides the tools that are trusted by many growing learning business.

These powerful yet easy-to-use features were designed to help you sell more and save time on demanding accounting and admin tasks so you can focus on what you do best: creating content and growing your business.
