Why choose Coachli over Thinkific
Thinkific is a leading online course platform with a powerful course builder, student progress tracking, quizzes and completion certificates. For creators who focus primarily on selling self-paced courses, Thinkific is one of the best options available.
However, Thinkific is course-only. It has no native session booking, no built-in video calling and no live event hosting. If you're a coach who does 1-on-1 sessions alongside courses, you need to bolt on Calendly, Zoom and other tools — increasing cost and complexity.
Coachli combines course sales, 1-on-1 session booking and live event hosting in one platform. Built-in video means your clients join sessions and events without downloading Zoom or Google Meet. Sessions and events can be recorded automatically. Clients get automatic reminders so no-shows drop.
For coaches in Africa, Thinkific does not support Paystack or Flutterwave. Coachli does — so your students can pay in Naira, Cedis and other local currencies. If you want courses plus coaching sessions plus live events with built-in video, all for free, Coachli is the all-in-one alternative.
