Teachable creators face surprise fees for free enrollments and coupon students
The pain
We're getting hit with unexpected usage fees for students who enroll with 100% off coupons or manual imports. Teachable now charges $0.50 per student per month for every free enrollment over 100, even for lead magnets or charity donations. This was quietly updated in September 2026, and support agents gave wrong information before the change. It makes free promotions and giveaways financially risky.
