“Student interaction drove 3.5x growth”

Pros

Interacting with students on this tool is excellent and I like that there's a separate student card for notes that the students can't see. I also find the interface very easy to use which helped me get up and running quickly. I can create certificates using templates and I designed a course on web design in podcast format that I enjoyed so much that my student numbers grew by 3.5 times in two months. I feel completely satisfied with the results.

Cons

I wanted more customization and I feel it would be helpful for each client's lessons to unlock exactly the next day after payment at the specific time I choose.

“Free trial confirmed right choice”

Pros

I hesitated before choosing it over other options but I trusted my instincts and haven't regretted it at all. I also valued being able to try it free for a while which allowed me to see the system's effectiveness and confirm it met our needs before committing a budget. I feel the whole team was happy with that approach and even though we're just starting, the trial month was very positive.

Cons

There's no gamification, no email newsletter and no mobile app but I still find the platform great and reliable.

“Upgraded after positive trial experience”

Pros

Half a year ago, we signed up for the trial plan and explored all the free features and I decided to upgrade our subscription for full access. I also appreciated having a technical administrator assigned to help upload and create content and I find the support team very responsive.

Cons

Like any evolving product, the platform continues to expand its functionality and I've noticed that the main gaps are the lack of a mobile application and the absence of a built-in mailing list, though integrations are available.
