Thinkific Coupons

No. Thinkific retired its permanent free plan and now offers a 30 day free trial on its paid plans instead, so anyone wanting to build and test a course at no cost needs to do so within that trial window rather than on an ongoing free tier.

Refunds beyond the 30 day trial are not guaranteed, and Thinkific's official policy does not promise money back once a paid plan has been billed. Reviews describing difficulty getting a refund after the trial period are common enough that it is worth being confident in the platform before entering payment information.

Choosing annual billing over monthly cuts the effective rate by about 25% across every named plan, which works out to real savings ranging from roughly $150 a year on the Basic plan up to several hundred dollars a year on the Grow plan.

Basic covers the fundamentals like course creation and a single community, but leaves out completion certificates, graded assignments, and live cohorts, all of which start on the Start plan. Grow adds white label branding and group order options on top of everything in Start, with Plus reserved for enterprise accounts at custom pricing.

Yes, if a third party payment gateway like Stripe is used instead of Thinkific Payments, a gateway fee applies on top of Stripe's own processing rate, ranging from 5% on Basic down to 1% on Grow. Switching to Thinkific Payments removes that additional fee.

Thinkific has offered discounted pricing to qualifying nonprofit organizations in the past through a dedicated application process, though eligibility requirements and current terms should be confirmed directly with Thinkific before assuming a specific discount applies.

Seasonal promotions around Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the New Year tend to bring the deepest discounts on annual plans, on top of the standard 25% annual billing savings that runs year round.

Every named plan, including Grow, caps the number of current students with active course access at 10,000. Businesses expecting to exceed that number need to move to a custom Plus contract instead.
