A Teachable alternative for cohorts and group programs.
upcoach is built around the program and its results: program types for cohorts, masterminds and group coaching, live sessions inside the curriculum, check-ins with trend graphs, and reports a sponsor can read.
Weekly check-in · Leadership Circle
Two good tools for different jobs
upcoach fits if you
- Run cohorts, masterminds or group coaching with live sessions on a schedule
- Need participants to do work between sessions, and to see who did it
- Have to show a client or sponsor what changed for the group
Teachable may fit better if you
- Sell self-paced courses and digital downloads to students anywhere
- Want sales tax, VAT and GST handled at checkout
- Want AI to draft a curriculum, quizzes and translated subtitles
Pick a format. The program is set up for you.
upcoach program types build the curriculum, events, channels and settings for the format you pick, from Group Coaching to a Mastermind. When the next cohort starts, duplicate the program: section release dates are recalculated from the new start date.
Teachable says it is built for self-paced courses by default: live courses run through embeds such as YouTube, Vimeo and Zoom, and a cohort-based experience can be built with drip content. Its coaching products cover one-on-one and small group coaching. Teachable: Online courses · checked Nov 10, 2026 · Teachable: Coaching · checked Nov 10, 2026
See program typesSee who is doing the work
Check-ins and assignments sit inside the program, so the work between calls is visible to you.
Check-ins with trend graphs
Track numbers with unit labels, and trend graphs appear from the second submission. See who responded and who went quiet.
Assignments with review
Approve or request changes, with comments on every submission, optional 0 to 100 scoring, and due dates with late and overdue tracking.
Teachable has auto-graded quizzes, short answer assessments, certificates and drip content, and can make sure students take lessons in order and watch at least 90% of each video. In a coaching product, milestones schedule meetings and share messages and files with each client.

Reports on the program that a sponsor can read
Program reports and participant reports show who started, who is moving and who went quiet, and export to CSV. On Pro and up, add a sponsor as a Reporting Sponsor and they see the program's content and reports, and none of the answers, journals or conversations.
Teachable lets you track learner progress, with auto-graded quizzes, completion certificates and course compliance rules, and its pricing page lists custom reporting. Teachable: Online courses · checked Nov 10, 2026 · Teachable pricing · checked Nov 10, 2026
