Thinkific is a great course delivery platform that allows you to offer a branded learning experience. While using it as a delivery tool, you can also build a landing page to promote your course.
While it gets a lot right for imparting education, coaches will find it lacking - it lacks crucial abilities found in a coaching management platform. Features like session scheduling, session notes, goal setting or contracting and invoicing are missing.
Simply.Coach is a Thinkific alternative which gives you an end-to-end solution for your coaching business to:

Here’s what users missed in Thinkific
(Thinkific Reviews from Capterra)
“This product is incredibly difficult to use. You don't realize it until you've already signed up and they won't process your refund. AVOID unless you want to devote full-time effort to figuring this coursework out. It's also very hard to reach a human being to get assistance.
“I started getting emails from people that the link to my course was broken. I tried to login into the site and I could not. Trying to recover my password didn't work. It was as if my site had been deleted with no notice. I tried to chat with support, but was directed to an AI bot that was useless and even though I was a paying customer, the phone support refused to help me because I could not login to my account. I had to send an email to someone which took several days to respond that apparently my account was suspended for "risk" whatever that means and that I would no longer be able to use the site. They could not explain what that meant and didn't seem to care.”
4 Reasons Why Users Prefer Simply.Coach Over Thinkific
Built for Coaches

Simply.Coach is built by coaches and for coaches, and hence captures all the nuances of a coaching engagement. Thinkific is a course delivery system and is primarily built for curating and selling courses.

Scheduling & Availability Setting

With a granular level of scheduling and availability settings, Simply.Coach saves you hours of time spent managing your calendar. Thinkific has no scheduling & availability settings, meaning you have to use a separate scheduling tool for sessions.

Digital Coaching Tools

Activity & exercise sheets and survey forms are being replaced with customizable digital coaching tools. Without these tools, Thinkific falls short on the collaborative aspect of coaching.

Contracting, Invoicing & Payments

Simply.Coach allows you to create, share and store all your contracts in one place. You can also create custom invoices, send them out, send payment reminders, and collect payments online.
