OnlineCourseHost.com Reviews

I have now fully switched from being a Thinkific customer for 7 years to online course host. After a short learning curve, I figured out how things work and I'm loving it. The course creation process, home page, course publishing take a little clicking around to figure out, then it's fast and easy. Wish I would have switched from Thinkific earlier.

I loved using onlinecourse, up until AI started to mess things up for me. I use the site for hosting my "access to zoom recordings" course home (I do my courses live and put the recordings here for client access). I put vimeo link and my cloud download link in the descriptions. Now a few months ago, AI started to convert published courses to drafts all of a sudden. The reason: the outside links. I have to delete the links, republish and then put the links back into description. Several months later same things happen in another course. The helpdesk is not a help at all on this matter. They cannot resolve this, and everytime it happens I get really angry as I already asked helpdesk to change things so that this does not happen again. If you will share outside links heavily in your course, you will face this mess. Just a warning. Other than that I had no problem with them but this just drives me nuts.

Me ha gustado mucho el soporte y la pronta respuesta a los inconvenientes pasajeros para la implementación. Nos ha parecido una gran plataforma en muchos aspectos que no hemos encontrado en otras. Felicitaciones, porque es una parte importante para nosotros sus clientes. Quizá no le doy las 5 reseñas porque en la pagina de compras en la linea de tres códigos (que fue los que compré) aparece la propuesta de ALMACENAMIENTO ILIMITADO y cuando configuro mi servicio dentro de la web de ustedes, aparece 15 GB de almacenamiento (algo totalmente diferente a lo que se expone en la web de appsumo de compra). Y me responden que son 5 GB por código. Puede ser un malentendido pasajero, porque considero que ustedes se toman muy en serio el servicio. Espero solucionen este problema de información para vender. Por lo pronto me resta decirles que tienen un gran producto, y espero que lo cuiden mucho para bien de nosotros los usuarios y por supuesto de ustedes los creadores.

Our non-profit purchased this program via AppSumo in 2023. We signed into the program, reviewed it and began a plan for its full implementation in the future. We planned, according to our website, to have this up and running for 2026. The login for this product does not work. We cannot sign in and it shows as if there is no account.

We think this program has great potential for our non-profit and we hope this situation can be remedied.

I have in my portfolio other tools in this niche, I wasn´t sure whether OCH would make a difference. Glad I followed my intuition and bought it.

- At this price, you won´t be able to build a viable business for yourself. Coaching, training, sharing knowledge, etc.. I am happy to support OCH so it stays for the long run. I´m building an extra revenue channel for my business with OCH.
- First impressions matter, both in life as they do in business. My first impression was great, but i´m even more satisfied with the fact that its actually exceeded expectations. That rarely happens. Big thumbs up.
- AI does wonders here. Although, if you´re thinking "i click a button, generate courses, while watching your favorite football game". Think twice. That´s not IT. AI here really does a great job at guiding you through your existing ideas-knowledge, but you still need to invest quality time and make use of that extraordinary brain nature has equipped you with.
- Although it is a bit risky to be "flagged" by administrators (this hasnt happened to me yet), I am kinda happy this is in place, to avoid this platform lose its reputation for the so called "content creators" who are just simply lazy. There´s a fight going on in the marketplace to discern what´s true and what´s fake. So I think encouraging OCH buyers to make the effort to be creative and provide value, it is indeed a good thing.
- Multilingual capabilities. This is awesome, I work with clients daily in 2 different languages, and i can provide them with the same value proposition in their mother tongue. Wonderful. One course in English, and the same course, in another language.
- The Community feature is something else. Create different rooms for free members, paid members etc.. and segment what content displays and interactions take form in each scenario.

I am thrilled. Of course, you can always wish for better and more... own video hosting would be great (but i understand its very costly to sustain). In the end, what I wish to see is that OCH remains in the market, growing and expanding, for years to come.
Too many products in this niche and founders have disappeared into the night over the years, took our money and spent it in margaritas watching sunsets in Zihuatanejo with Andrew Defresne.

I am confident this founder is rock solid, as it is the product.
