Verdex vs Teachable, Thinkific and Kajabi
It depends. Verdex LMS fits if you already have material people learn from, such as a book, manual, workbook, slide deck or recorded talks, and want course software you own, with your own iPhone and Android apps, from one custom quote. Teachable, Thinkific and Kajabi fit if you want to start this week from a standard template, sell to the public, and don’t need your own app.

Questions people ask
We already use Teachable, Thinkific or Kajabi. Should we switch?
Keep it if it works for you. The difference is who does the course work. On those platforms you turn your material into lessons yourself, inside their template, and a branded app usually costs extra. We do that work with you and build the app under your name.
Do I need Teachable, Thinkific or Kajabi too?
No. Verdex builds and hosts your own platform and apps.
