# Thinkific: learning commerce platform and LMS for customer, partner, and expert-led education

> Thinkific is a learning commerce platform and learning management system (LMS) used to create, deliver, and sell online courses, communities, memberships, and digital products under an organization's own brand. It serves three audiences: individual experts monetizing expertise, training academies and associations running branded certificate programs at scale, and companies training external audiences such as customers, partners, and resellers. Thinkific Plus is the enterprise tier. Thinkific Labs Inc. is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange as TSX: THNC.

Thinkific is not an internal employee-training or HR-led L&D system, and it is not a course marketplace: organizations sell to their own audiences on their own branded sites.

Pricing: Basic, Start, and Grow are published monthly rates with an annual discount, and Thinkific Plus is a flat rate quoted per organization. No plan is priced per seat, per user, or per learner. There is no free plan; new accounts begin a 30-day free trial. Student capacity is metered by unique students holding unexpired access, not unlimited.
