Heights Platform vs Teachable

Since you own your course, you choose what to charge for it, and you keep all your earnings minus any credit card processing fees. Heights charges a flat monthly fee for its course software.

Your online course is on your own platform with your logo, on your own domain. You can interact with your students and create an entire platform that will allow you to sell your course for much more than if you put it on something like Udemy.

One of the few course creation platforms that lets you grant points and badges to your students as well as gives you the ability to upload your own custom badges.

The course creation interface for adding your content is part of the same interface that your students use to go through your program so you always know exactly how your content will appear to your students.

The main dashboard where you create and run your courses is intuitive and easy to use. It's really simple to upload course files, check on analytics, issue refunds, communicate with students, etc. It saves a lot of time which you can focus on creating and selling your course instead.

You'll have to upload documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and videos when creating your course. Its drag and drop interface allows you to easily pull in your files from wherever they’re stored. It links up nicely with cloud storage, Google Drive, and Dropbox and there’s also a bulk upload facility, which saves a lot of time.

Teachable will provide a nice looking theme for your school and course landing pages out of the box. You just have to upload your logos, images, text and choose colour schemes to make your image and branding identifiable.
