Thinkific is a solid, honest course platform — but its answer to most needs is an app store and plugins, and its 2026 prices just rose ~10% to $54–$219. Educor's answer is built-in: Nino AI writes your curriculum and tutors your students inside every lesson, every course ships with its own funnel, and no plan caps your students or courses.
