Migration
Moving from Teachable to LearnWorlds
The common trigger is a capability gap. Teachable publishes no SCORM support and no group or seat-selling workflow for companies. LearnWorlds publishes SCORM from Pro Trainer at $79 per month and client groups from the same tier. The trade is Teachable's lower entry price and no per-sale fee above Starter. The move is still a migration project: inventory, written export answers, a reconciliation test, then cutover.
Why teams consider this move
Three registry facts drive most of these switches. None of them is about export tooling, which we do not claim either way.
- SCORM. LearnWorlds publishes SCORM from Pro Trainer, 20 packages at $79 per month, unlimited from Learning Center. Teachable does not publish SCORM support at any plan.
- B2B seat selling. LearnWorlds includes 1 client group on Pro Trainer and up to 10 on Learning Center. Teachable publishes no comparable workflow.
- Admin seats. LearnWorlds Learning Center lists 25 admin seats. Teachable Growth lists 5, the most of any Teachable plan.
Plan mapping and the cost delta
Map your Teachable plan to the LearnWorlds tier that matches your real needs, then run the yearly math including fees.
| Platform | Entry plan | From (annual billing) | Platform fees on the entry plan | Runs on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thinkific | Basic | $40/mo | 5% only with your own gateway | Hosted (SaaS) |
| LearnWorlds | Starter | $24/mo | $5 per course sale | Hosted (SaaS) |
| Teachable | Starter | $29/mo | 7.5% transaction fee | Hosted (SaaS) |
| Podia | Mover | $42/mo | 5% transaction fee | Hosted (SaaS) |
| LearnDash | Essentials | $259/year license | No platform fee | Your WordPress site |
Teachable Starter ($29 per month on annual billing) plus its 7.5% transaction fee often costs more than it looks. LearnWorlds Pro Trainer ($79 per month on annual billing) charges no per-sale fee and adds SCORM and 1 client group. If you only need the entry tier, LearnWorlds Starter at $24 per month is cheaper but adds its own $5 per-sale fee. Run your numbers in the cost calculator.
Apply the checklist to your Teachable school
Follow the full LMS migration checklist and adapt it here.
- Inventory. Count products (capped at 5, 10 or 50 on Teachable), learners, quizzes, certificates and order history.
- Ask both vendors in writing. Request a sample export from Teachable for each object type and ask LearnWorlds what it imports and in what format.
- Run the reconciliation test. Build a fictional dataset, export it, import it into a LearnWorlds trial, and compare object counts before and after. If SCORM is the reason for the move, upload your real package and test playback.
Cutover order
Rebuild and verify before touching anything live. Recreate the catalog in LearnWorlds, upload and play-test SCORM packages, set up client groups if you sell seats, and run the reconciliation test on fictional data. Keep Teachable live and billing throughout.
Only when the destination is proven do you migrate learners, point your domain, and announce the change.

LearnWorlds vs Teachable: SCORM, fees, and where they cross
LearnWorlds publishes SCORM and a flat $5 per-sale fee; Teachable charges 7.5%. The fees cross near a $66.67 course. See which fits your price point.
SCORM support across all five platforms
SCORM needs import, playback and score reporting back. LearnWorlds sells it self-serve, Thinkific gates it to Plus, and video-course platforms often skip it.
