Which should you choose?

Google Classroom: Free classroom tool for assignments, grading and announcements.

Teachable: Online course platform with checkout and student management.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
