| Quizzes and certificates | Not yet. | Yes. |
When Teachable is the better answer
Teachable has years of course-selling features we simply don't — coupons, bundles, an affiliate program, graded quizzes. If your business runs on those, you'd be giving things up.
Questions
What does a 7.5% fee actually cost me?
On $10,000 of course sales it is $750, on top of the monthly plan and on top of card processing. Clipnote's cut of that same $10,000 is $0 — you pay Stripe's processing fee and nothing else.
Does Clipnote have quizzes?
Not yet. If graded quizzes and certificates are the reason students buy from you, Teachable does that today and we don't.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on any paid plan — your school runs on your domain with your branding.
