What is Passion.io?

Passion.io is a simple, no-code, no-hassle course and app creation platform. Passion.io enables you to easily launch your own native mobile app, where you can offer interactive courses, provide a community for your audience, and offer free, paid, or subscription-based content.

What is 

Teachable

?

The Teachable motto is ‘Share What You Know’ - Their platform allows everyone to create online courses. Their target marketing is anyone looking to launch and sell an online course, with built-in marketing tools.

So let's compare the two...

What one of our Passion Fighters said about switching from Teachable:

"The biggest difference is that you get your own app. That changes the game because people have instant access directly into your app vs going to a website."

Creating Engaging Courses

Both these platforms make it quick and easy to produce an online course. Both allow you to upload content of any type, video, image, text and more, and then easily launch. Both have simple interfaces that allow non-tech people to create beautiful content.

What separates the two platforms is Passion.io’s ability to launch your own branded mobile app to the Google Play and Apple App Stores. This allows your customers to engage and consume your content on a whole new level - and from anywhere in the world, at any time, on any device.

In the past, building a website for your content was a basic requirement for course creators. Teachable has a built-in website tool that allows you to create an effective page for your course.

Your Own Branded App

Passion.io believes websites are an ineffective and out-dated format for your customers to consume your content, and the data backs this up; Only 6% of web-based online courses are ever completed

When customers feel like they have an on-going relationship with you, via your branded app and its uniquely interactive features - engagement, retention and earnings are all significantly increased over a web-based equivalent.

(However, if your customers need to access your course on the web, everything published to your native app can be consumed on the web)

Native Mobile Apps

  • Over 70% of ALL media  is now consumed on the phone
  • 80% of consumers say they would rather buy from an app than a website

And these numbers are only increasing.

Teachable allows you to launch your course on THEIR app, effectively showcasing your competitors to your customers and undermining your brand. If you want to keep your own brand, you are limited to an old-school website.

Your Own Native App
In 2022, the most popular way to learn is with mobile apps, so why try to teach with a website?

"So instead of having the course on a website and the community on Facebook, I like that it will all be in one place on the app."

Track & Engage

Keeping track of your customers and engaging with them is a crucial part of maintaining an online course business. Both platforms allow you to see all your customers in the dashboard, as well as their progress. 

Teachable offers more detailed breakdowns of their data points, to monitor course consumption. Kajabi also has some basic community features built-in.

Passion.io allows you to interact with your customers more directly, from the palm of their hands - with an in-app community newsfeed (like your very own social media app), and PowerChat - which lets you exchange messages with videos & images with customers to give direct feedback, and more.

As one PassionFighter says about our community features:

"This is essential to teach my students!"

Integrations

Both platforms offer a wide range of integrations thanks to their Zapier integrations. Both allow you to perform a few of these functions within their platform, which is useful for beginners.

Payment Processing

Both platforms allow your customers to easily pay online. Both integrate seamlessly with Stripe, the world's largest payment processing provider. PassionPayments allow you to take payments directly from your app, for seamless one-touch payments.

This reduces the amount of abandoned checkouts - Where 80% of web payments are not completed, primarily due to the added friction of finding a credit card and copying long numbers into a website form.

One-touch payments from a mobile app completely erases this bottleneck, as there is zero friction between the moment a customer decides to buy and the purchase itself.

And as mentioned above, with over 80% of consumers preferring to buy online via an app, and not a website, this feature will be vital in 2022 and beyond.

Training & Guidance

Both platforms have Help Centers that are useful to learn each respective platform, with in-depth guidance on each section and feature available.

On top of that, Passion.io prides itself on having some of the most comprehensive training packages for launching, marketing and scaling your course and mobile app to 6 or even 7-figures.

The Expert Unleashed Challenge

Get 5–15 high paying clients in the first 30 days

The Expert Freedom Masterclass
