European Alternatives to Thinkific
Looking for a European alternative to Thinkific? Thinkific Labs Inc. is a Vancouver company whose terms are governed by the law of British Columbia and Canadian federal law, with the courts of British Columbia as the exclusive venue, and whose sub-processor list names Amazon Web Services and Google in the United States as its cloud providers.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy

Why people leave Thinkific
Thinkific is a course platform for people who teach for money. You build courses, sell them, run a community and take payments from one account, and it publishes three self-serve plans (Basic, Start and Grow) plus a custom Plus plan, with a 30-day free trial that needs no card. Each self-serve plan allows unlimited courses and 10,000 current students, and the number of communities rises from one to three on the top tier.
It is run by Thinkific Labs Inc. in Vancouver. Its terms are governed by the law of British Columbia and Canadian federal law, with the courts of British Columbia as the exclusive venue, and they contain no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver.
They name no separate EU or EEA contracting entity. Its sub-processor list names Amazon Web Services and Google, both in the United States, as cloud providers, and its data processing addendum covers transfers with the standard contractual clauses under Irish law.
This page is about platforms where you create and sell courses. Eleven European tools qualify, from companies in Cyprus, Ireland, France, Germany, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Poland and Austria. They are not interchangeable: some are course platforms first, one is an all-in-one suite, one is a storefront that also sells courses, and one is an LMS for trainers.
- Your contract is Canadian, and your data moves through US infrastructure Thinkific Labs Inc. contracts under British Columbia law with exclusive courts there, and the terms name no EU or EEA entity. Its sub-processor list puts the hosting on Amazon Web Services and Google in the United States, and most of its other processors there too. That is lawful when the standard contractual clauses are in place, which its addendum provides for, but it is a different position from a contract with a company in your own country.
- The price depends on the plan, and the plan depends on your growth Thinkific separates Basic, Start and Grow by features such as communities, video bandwidth and support level, and it charges a standard 2.9% on payments made through Thinkific Payments. Several European tools here price differently: LearnyBox and Publigo take no commission, Teachizy has an unlimited-learner plan, and Memberspot and ablefy price by members. Compare the plan you would actually run in a year, not the entry plan.
- Some European tools have a permanent free plan, Thinkific does not Thinkific offers a 30-day trial. LearnyBox, Systeme.io, Teachizy and Payhip each have a free plan on their own sites, with limits you should read: LearnyBox allows one course and 20 learners, Teachizy three courses and 70 learners with a 9% commission, Payhip a 5% fee on sales. A free plan is enough to build and test a course before you spend money.
- The tools differ in what they are LearnWorlds, Memberspot, Teachizy, Coachy, Publigo and LearningSuite are course platforms. Systeme.io and ablefy add funnels, email or a full sales system around the course. Payhip is a storefront that sells courses beside downloads. Easy LMS is a flat-priced LMS for trainers who deliver to client organisations. Choose by what you sell, not by the headline price.
What you have to replace, not just match
List what your Thinkific school does: number of courses, whether it uses communities, bundles, memberships or drip schedules, which payment provider you use, and which apps you installed. A single course with a checkout moves almost anywhere. A school with a community, bundles and a custom domain narrows the choice to a few tools here, and the plan limits on the tier you would need matter more than the entry plan.
Course content does not transfer as a working school. Download your videos, documents and quiz text, export the student list with the consent you hold for it, and rebuild the lessons in the new tool. Keep the old school running until the new one has sold and delivered a course, and redirect old addresses so that search traffic follows you.
The alternatives compared
| Position | Tool | Headquarters | Pricing | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | LearnWorlds | Limassol / Athens, Greece | From about $29 per month; higher tiers remove transaction fees | EU (Greece and Cyprus) |
| #2 | Systeme.io | Dublin, Ireland | eu-eea |
How each alternative compares to Thinkific
- Which law reaches it. EU (Greece and Cyprus). Thinkific is operated from Canada, outside the EU and without an adequacy decision, so transfers rest on contractual safeguards rather than on the data staying inside the EEA.

Coachy
a course and membership platform with its own app, from Bulgaria
Best for: German-speaking coaches who want a branded app and a trial before paying
Coachy is run by Coachy OOD at 104 Simeonovsko shose Blvd in Sofia, with a Bulgarian VAT number. Its terms apply German law unless mandatory rules in your home country say otherwise, with the Bulgarian place of business as venue for business customers. They say Digistore24 is the contracting party for paid subscriptions.
Its pricing page lists Premium at €35 to €42 a month with one course, Deluxe at €65 to €78 with three to five courses, and Enterprise at €195 to €234 with unlimited courses, all excluding VAT, with a 30-day trial and no card. Members and storage are unlimited on every plan.

Payhip is provided by Payhip Limited, company number 08386910, at 167-169 Great Portland Street in London. Its terms are governed by English law, with the English courts as the exclusive venue. The United Kingdom is outside the EU but inside Europe.

ablefy is provided by ablefy GmbH at Potsdamer Str. 125 in Berlin, listed at the Charlottenburg court as HRB 151956 B. Its own imprint and terms are rendered in the browser and could not be read, so the register entry is the source for the entity, and no governing law is stated here.

It describes course creation, video recording and editing, a community with forums, and native iOS and Android apps. Use cases include employee onboarding, coach offerings and client training.

- Community with forum structure in the same product
- An Austrian company inside the EU
Where LearningSuite is a step down from Thinkific
- No public prices
- No free trial, only a demo call

- Its terms were not checked for this page
Standout against Thinkific. It is the only tool here that publishes no price and sells only through a demo.
What actually breaks when you switch
The hard part of leaving Thinkific is the content, not the account. Courses, lessons and quizzes do not move as a working school, so budget time to download your videos and documents, upload them again and rebuild the structure. Keep your own copies of the source files before you cancel.
Check the limits on the exact plan you need. The free and entry plans cap courses, learners or take a fee per sale: LearnyBox stops at one course and 20 learners, Teachizy at three courses and 70 learners, Memberspot Starter at one course and 100 members, and Coachy Premium at one course.
Write down every payment fee before you compare prices. Thinkific takes 2.9% through its own payments; ablefy takes 2.7% + €0.50, Payhip takes 5%, 2% or 0% by plan, and LearnyBox and Publigo take no commission. Your payment provider charges its own fee on top in most of these.
Is there a European tool that works like Thinkific?
LearnWorlds is the closest in shape: a course builder with interactive video, a site builder, a 30-day trial and plans from a starter tier to a learning-center tier. Memberspot, Teachizy and Coachy cover the same ground with a stronger focus on a single language or market.
None replicates Thinkific's app market or the length of its track record. If you rely on a specific integration, check whether the European tool offers it before you move.
Which of these has a permanent free plan?
Systeme.io, LearnyBox, Teachizy and Payhip describe a free plan on their own sites. Systeme.io limits free accounts to a lifetime sales cap, LearnyBox to one course and 20 learners, and Teachizy to three courses and 70 learners with a 9% commission. Payhip has no plan fee but takes 5% of each sale on the free tier.
LearnWorlds, Memberspot, Coachy and Easy LMS offer trials, from 14 to 30 days. LearningSuite offers a demo call instead, and ablefy a 14-day trial.
Does a community come with the course?
Often. Systeme.io lists a community builder on its homepage, Memberspot includes a community in every plan, ablefy bundles courses, memberships and communities in its Create & Sell plan, and LearningSuite describes an integrated community with a forum structure. Teachizy offers forums and private spaces on its Expert plan.
If the community is the main product and the course is secondary, check how far each tool's community goes before you choose, as these are the weakest part of several course platforms.
Does the contract really matter for a small school?
It matters mostly for where a dispute is decided and where your students' data is processed. With Thinkific, the contract runs with a Vancouver company under British Columbia law, and the hosting is on US cloud providers. With the tools here the contracting entity sits in the EU or the United Kingdom, with Coachy a special case because Digistore24 is the contract partner for paid subscriptions.
For a hobby course it is a minor point. For a business that stores student records, takes payments and issues certificates, it is part of the picture along with data location and what happens to your content when you leave.
Which one to pick
If you want the nearest thing to Thinkific, with a deep course builder and a 30-day trial, choose LearnWorlds. If you want to start for free and keep funnels and email in the same account, choose Systeme.io, and if you want a free plan without any commission, choose LearnyBox. If you want published prices and a community in every plan, Memberspot is the cleaner choice.
Teachizy and Coachy suit French and German-speaking creators with different pricing. Payhip is the one to pick if the shop is the point and the course is one product among downloads and memberships. ablefy is for people who also want payments, invoices and tax handled inside the platform. Easy LMS is for trainers who deliver to organisations rather than sell to the public.
Publigo and LearningSuite each fit a narrower case: a Polish-language school that can be hosted on your own server, and a German-language academy with an app, bought through a demo with no public price.
Be realistic about the gap. Thinkific has a larger app market and a longer track record than any of these, and none of the eleven imports a Thinkific school. Switch if you want a contracting party in Europe and a data processor closer to home, and stay if the apps you rely on have no equivalent.
Frequently Asked Questions
LearnWorlds is the closest in shape, with interactive video, a site builder and a 30-day trial, from a Cyprus company. Systeme.io is the better answer if you want a free plan and funnels and email in the same account, LearnyBox if you want a free plan and 0% commission, and Memberspot if you want published prices and a community in every plan. The right choice depends on what you sell.
No. Thinkific Labs Inc. is a Canadian company in Vancouver, British Columbia. Its terms are governed by the law of British Columbia and Canadian federal law, with the courts of British Columbia as the exclusive venue, and they name no separate EU or EEA contracting entity.
Its sub-processor list names Amazon Web Services and Google, both in the United States, as cloud service providers, and places most of its other processors there as well. Its data processing addendum uses the standard contractual clauses (module 2) and a UK addendum under Irish law for transfers out of the EEA and the UK. Its privacy policy says data may be transferred outside your country and does not state whether Canada is treated as adequate.
Thinkific lists Basic, Start and Grow plans, with a custom Plus plan, billed monthly or annually, and a 30-day free trial without a card. Standard processing through Thinkific Payments is 2.9%. Prices can differ by country and currency, so check the page for your region before you decide.
Memberspot lists Starter at €39 a month on annual billing (€49 monthly), Grow at €99 (€119) and Scale at €199 (€249), with a 14-day trial. LearnyBox lists Free, Launch at €39 a month, Boost at €89 and Scale at €149, with 0% commission. ablefy lists Sell at €27 a month and Create & Sell from €59 for up to 150 members, €119 up to 3,000 and €229 up to 10,000, plus 2.7% + €0.50 per payment.
Teachizy lists a free tier with a 9% commission, Pro at €49 a month (€490 a year) with unlimited learners and Expert at €99 (€990). Easy LMS lists Basic at €70 a month (€700 a year) for 3,000 completed courses or exams a month and Advanced at €200 (€2,000) for 10,000, with no fee per participant. Payhip lists a free plan with a 5% fee on sales, Plus with 2% and Pro with none.
Coachy is run by Coachy OOD in Sofia, Bulgaria. Its terms apply German law unless mandatory rules in your home country say otherwise, and name the place of business in Bulgaria as the venue for business customers. The terms also say Digistore24 is the contracting party for paid subscriptions, so check that company's terms before you buy.
ablefy lists up to 32 languages, and Teachizy offers multi-language support and an English interface on its Expert plan. Publigo's site and terms are in Polish, Coachy is aimed at German-speaking users, LearnyBox at French-speaking users, and Memberspot and LearningSuite at German-speaking users. Check the language of the student interface and of the support before you commit.
Not as a file that imports. Course content and the school design do not move automatically, so a move means exporting your videos and documents, re-uploading them and rebuilding the lessons. Plan a few days for a small school, keep the old one live until the new one has taken a payment, and check what the student list may be used for under your consent.
For a narrower group, yes. Easy LMS is a Delft LMS for trainers who deliver branded academies to client organisations, with flat monthly prices and no fee per participant. It is less suited to selling a course to the public with a checkout and a community, where LearnWorlds, Memberspot or Teachizy fit better.
