Thinkific adds entry-level Basic plan, cuts top-tier Expand from lineup
What happened
Between the Jun 29, 2026 and Jul 6, 2026 captures of Thinkific's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Thinkific restructured its self-serve plan lineup: added a new entry-level Basic plan ($36/mo billed annually) below Start, and removed the top self-serve Expand plan ($374/mo billed annually). Start ($74) and Grow ($149) pricing unchanged; Plus (enterprise) plan bullet list reworded: removed 'Custom limits built for your business' and 'Priority support'; added 'Dedicated end-to-end support', 'Generous user capacity' (10,000+ user seats included), and 'Additional administrator accounts'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (packaging change, feature change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Start at $82, Grow at $164, Expand at $374 and Branded Mobile App at $199.
It lands 26 days after Thinkific's previous change, "Thinkific shifts Plus plan to custom limits for enterprise users" (Jun 10, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Thinkific drops Basic tier, launches $499/mo Expand plan for scaling teams" (May 5, 2026). Thinkific has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Coursera, Podia, LearnDash, Kajabi and Udemy also changed their Workforce Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
