### "Easy to go live, superb support, looks great, gamification and analytics, solid roadmap"

December 12, 2020

5.0

I got to hear from the Heights \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], a few months ago during an online conference I attended and I was impressed with his passion for the platform, his commitment to his users, and the base of users globally that are using the platform. My experience when reaching out to support was great, and I’ve enjoyed building programs on the platform and watching my audience go in and use it. So... all good as far as I’m concerned.

Pros

There are a number of things I like about Heights. I like assigning points to courses, because I can use that for any number of ways to motivate (eg to award badges (built in to Heights), or any idea such as linking to discounts, offer bonuses, or even to charitable giving). All are good to encourage and motivate students to continue to engage with your programs. Engaged students are continuing subscribers. I also like the forum feature within the platform, where students can help each other and discuss topics without having to go off platform to somewhere link Facebook, expecially if not everyone is regularly on FB. I also like the ease of switching between administrative and user experience views to test UI and UX. I like that each course can have it’s own landing page, the use of bundles, and how early adopters for discounted subscriptions can retain those fees even after I increase the price of a subscription. This is great for beta launches and making students feel they got a great deal.

Cons

My main con is that a lesson in course A couldn’t be duplicated into course B. Instead I had to remake it with a bunch of copying and pasting. I assume that’ll be a reasonably easy fix sometime down the track. I had a slight learning curve to understand how Heights structures its environment. But once I got how they organise courses and lessons and the various editors for each, it’s pretty straightforward. I had my VA login and move all my courses from another platform and into Heights within 2 days, so her learning curve was short and the transition easy. For me there are a couple of features that I think would make it better, especially from a marketing perspective, but I do see their roadmap is great with the whole platform becoming a very solid ecosystem, and I see some elements that I’m hoping for due to come on the platform in the coming months. I’m glad I made the switch. Oh, I’d prefer a chat option for those of us outside Nth America, although I will say that the support I receive after submitting my request was swift, thorough, pleasant, and solved my issue.

Reason for choosing Heights Platform

1\. I like having a team of people focused and working to make my students experience better. So a dedicated platform is better than a plugin where I have to do that myself. 2. I like the gamification elements in Heights. I want the experience to be fun, and to have the ability to motivate my users to continue using the product as a built-in feature. 3. I like the customisations and robustness of the dashboard. 4. I like the personableness of the support team and the degree of support I received.

### "Excellent, easy to use and build online course creator"

December 17, 2020

5.0

Overall a stellar product that gets better with every update. The pros far outweigh the cons and even if the cons never changed, I'd still consider this my favorite course creation tool. Pricing is extremely reasonable (if not lower than most) for the amount of functionality you get and support is stellar. I will use Heights Platform for all my courses now and in the future.

Pros

I really enjoy building courses in this program. It's intuitive and easy to navigate. Adding content is a breeze and their updates have made certain, previously difficult to use areas now easier than ever. The end result looks stellar on mobile and desktop and the developers like to make sure the users are always satisfied. If there's something the software can't do, they either try to implement it, or they suggest an alternative. They never leave you hanging. There doesn't seem to be too much of a learning curve as opposed to other course creation programs. I was up and building in no time at all. An amazing dashboard that keeps track of student progress and activity, popularity of lessons, income and more. Built in online community so students can interact. Role assignments so students see only other students in the same course. Integration with Zapier and so many other great features.

Cons

There is room for improvement and I believe most of the following is on their roadmap. I'm not thrilled about the Notes area. It works flawlessly, but it's so hidden and small that it's hard to use. The editing screens are smaller than I'd like and I have to scroll up and down a lot instead of having the editing at full screen. The student sees full screen so no problem there, but as the administrator, it would be great if I could see the big picture without having to change to View mode. It's a minor gripe really, but it can feel confining sometimes because the canvas for creation is smaller than it should be. It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but it is noticeable. Once you insert images, you can't resize them. Again, a minor annoyance (I can change size outside the program before importing), but it's worth noting. There are labels that can't be changed. I don't use the term "lessons" in my course but the Next and Previous buttons say Lesson on them. Would love to change those and other labels but they are locked in for now. None of these issues would prevent me from buying the program but I wanted to mention them here. The software works great.

### "A serious alternative for Kajabi and other course platforms"

January 3, 2023

5.0

I love Heights. They're easy to use and they are constantly improving the platform. Their newest feature, websites and webpages, is phenomenal and a huge game changer. Additionally, I can't say enough about their tech support. The \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and other CS specialists are superstars and go the extra mile to make sure you can do what you need to within their system. Another bonus is that they're constantly improving their features and adding new ones, so you never feel like you have a dead product.

Pros

I love the ease of implementation of courses. They make it really easy to build and launch your courses.

Cons

I do wish they'd let you build quizzes and such, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.

I tried Thrive Apprentice first. Great for course building, but trying to get them to work with WordPress and other plugins was just a nightmare, so I switched to Kajabi. And Kajabi is great, but they are SUPER expensive and really outside my budget as a small creator. Heights has a good price and will grow with me.

### "Good solid platform for online learning"

December 12, 2020

5.0

I've looked at a tried a wide variety of online training and membership platforms and have really settled on Heights Platform to move forward with my specialized training for the water utility industry. It really has a lot of customization options from landing pages, to student tracking, to setting up course bundles and memberships. If you are so inclined, you can even sell coaching, online/in-person events or even consulting through Heights Platform, in addition to the more traditional digital products such as downloadable project files, ebooks and recorded single/multi-part courses - lots of flexibilit in the products you can offer.

Pros

Lots of options to customize the look and feel of the program; generous limits on students; good pricing on upgrade options; ability to connect your own payment gateways; great customer service; detailed student tracking; ability to easily set up ala carte classes, bundles or full memberships; built-in landing page builder; ability to create learning "funnels;" a message board for communicating with students; and, ability to use your own HTML and css to further customize the look and feel of the interface.

Cons

No quizzes/tests are available, although you can set up a "project" for a student to complete; no certificates for course completion are available through the Heights Platform (I use Sertifier - an outside program to issues certificates for professional development hours or CEUs); no native integrations except Zapier.

Heights is a better value and I find the Podia pages to be clunky to set up with not much improvement in that regard over several years. Still, Podia is a good program, but I find Heights to be the better value and just recently invested in increasing the student limit for my training program hosted on Heights.

### "I’m Too New To Give It a “5” - Definitely a “4” - Will Update This Review In Time"

May 27, 2020

4.0

I had been considering getting into the remote tutoring/coaching scene for years, but I never made the leap. I kept saying next year, next year, next year. The COVID-19 pandemic gave me the push. Although I purchased Heights pre-pandemic, the statewide Stay-At-Home order shut my brick and mortar turning center down and all of my clients were GONE overnight. The Heights Team has been helpful in answering all of my questions and helping me understand the technical aspects of each of the features that are inside of the Heights platform so that I can get pieces in place to deliver remote services.

Pros

God knows there are many online platforms out there - since eLearning is taking the world by storm. Honestly, the thing that made Heights the unquestionable choice for me at purchasing time was value for the price. Often, people have a dream of what they want to do/accomplish with a new shiny object - whether or not they get around to doing it is another story. At shopping time, I knew what I was looking for (a platform to do remote tutoring/coaching) but I was also dreaming of services that I wanted to grow into. Consequently, I had many specific questions during my software shopping phase. I wondered about: e-commerce logistics/fees, password protected content capabilities, student enrollment/unenrollment, media/file format requirements, Integrations, etc and the list goes on. The Heights Team was there every step of the way, in an extremely timely manner, and with very specific answers to my questions. Often, instead of just answering the question, they provided me with directions with screen shots and specific use cases of other Heights clients - priceless! Remember, I was not even a Heights client at this time! I thought to myself, “If the Heights Teams gives this much attention to a person shopping their software, I can only imaging how great the customer service is once I become a client!” Which leads me to value for price. The features are the usual, but the help with implementing the features - absolutely priceless!

Cons

The learning curve could be better (so the Heights Team can focus on updates instead of cries for help LOL!). There are very nicely scripted help articles with screen shots, however, since there is an eCommerce side for what I am using it for, I am quick to check in with the Heights Team to make sure I am doing it right (no matter what IT is). For example, I am still trying to get the hang of students enrollment/unenrollment, course -vs- program eCommerce, making sure my Zapier integrations are correct. But this is on me, not Heights. Heights is not pretty, but it has the features you need: from course creation to eCommerce to landing pages. It is an all-in-one software to get anyone started in the eLearning scene.

### "Heights is a good product"

August 31, 2022

5.0

I'm able to offer courses that are robust and comprehensive. I am hoping the membership side becomes a little more robust where I can add tasks, etc.

Pros

I love the outline. It's easy to use and help keeps you on track. I also like the fact that you can bundle things and put them all together without being charged for separate products.

Cons

I would have liked to see a native integration with ConvertKit and other email software. Also, I would have liked to be able to do live streams right on the platform. Student responses are also confusing because if you respond to one student it takes you back into the course and you have to do a lot of work to go back to that area.

### "Finally a platform that delivers on every level."

November 14, 2020

5.0

Overall I am thrilled with my experience and I will certainly be recommending the platform to people on my programs

Pros

Heights platform is flexible without being confusing. Streamlined without being restrictive. This is software that has either been built by course creators or that has been built after a lot of research into what is important to course creators. The features are exactly what I needed for my business. I have tried just about every platform in the market place including 'going alone' on my own servers and nothing has come close to the features, functionality and ease of use of Heights. In addition the customer service is the best I have come across...period.. Real people with a real desire to help you to launch your business. I have an audience over over 150,000 students and the platform is perfect. At the price point it is pitched at Heights is a no brainer for my business.

Cons

There is very little that I dont like about the software. If there was one thing that would make it even better though it would be a choice of a few payment templates or client viewing templates. However that really is not needed and would just be an extra.

### "Game changing platform for course creation "

December 5, 2020

5.0

Firstly, can I just say that when it comes to tech, I'm from a generation before mobile phones. I didn't get online till my late 20's and I don't have a huge team of developers behind me, as I started to build my business. Why is this important? Well if this sounds like you, I can tell you right now that you won't be disappointed with the Heights Platform. This software has been built with ease of use in mind. A great deal of thought and care has been put into every area of the platform, and the attention to detail really shines, as you begin to use Heights to build your course. It literally works out of the box. With course creation taking a great deal of time, the last thing you need is a platform that requires you to invest endless hours in tutorials, just to get yourself up and running. The support for the software is second to none, and the team at Height obviously care about their customers, and work to support your course success.

Pros

The software is ridiculously easy to use, right out of the box. The dashboard is well designed and incredibly simple to navigate. You can switch into different views, to experience the course as a student too, which really helps as you build your lesson plan. The ability to add downloads, videos and worksheets directly into each section is perfect, and adds a new dimension to the overall experience for the students. The course looks professional once completed, with the added bonus of being able to customise the look and feel of the course, to match your branding. You can set up a discussion board too, and create and sell additional resources to compliment your course, and it all works seamlessly to create a sense of community for the students. I love the points system, which you could potentially use to offer discounts on future courses or products. Gamification has become hugely popular and gives students an incentive to complete the course successfully.

Cons

So far, I can honestly say that I have not run into anything I don't like about Heights, and the few problems I have experienced were resolved by Heights support within hours.

### "Great System, Great Value"

October 28, 2020

5.0

I ran my signature course through Heights and the process went seamlessly. I do wish the platform was sleeker, more attractive, and had a more intuitive registration and landing page platform, like its competitors. But it's got all the bells and whistles you'd need at a great price. The learning curve is super easy to manage. I registered and was creating courses and lessons within 30 minutes. I'd absolutely (and have) recommend Heights to a colleague.

Pros

I spent quite a while looking for a course management system that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Heights is an awesome option. It's easy to navigate and does everything I needed that the more expensive systems offer. The support is AWESOME!!! Every time I get confused or have a question I get an in-depth response within 24 hours. I hope they stay this way as they grow because the top-notch support is a HUGE plus. I've not used it yet, but I like the ability of having a discussion forum in the software. I will use it in my next launch to avoid having to rely on and maintain a social media group or separate membership group.

Cons

It's not as sleek looking as their competitors and I wish it had better color branding options (the preset color themes are not at all attractive; they're very loud). They recently released an update where you can enter your own colors but the colors I chose don't always integrate with the system well and some words on buttons and navigation bars become difficult to see as a result. I also wish I could upload more than one document in a lesson (e.g. workbook AND pdf of PowerPoint slides). The student billing and registration system (landing pages, checkout, registration pages etc) embedded within the program are a bit confusing and not as intuitive or attractive, so I had to use Zapier to connect the system to my external cart.

### "Sehr gute Lernplattform mit beständiger Weiterentwicklung"

August 28, 2022

4.0

Heights Platform ist eine großartige Lernplattform mit ständigen Updates und Verbesserungen. Das Design mag ein wenig altmodisch aussehen, aber dennoch funktional. In naher Zukunft würde ich mir ein modernes Design wünschen.

Pros

Heights Platform wird ständig um sinnvolle neue Features weiterentwickelt. Zuletzt kam die Möglichkeit hinzu Communitys zu erstellen, was eine sehr wertvolle Ergänzung ist. Die Bedienung und Administration ist recht einfach. Besonders schätze ich in besonderem Maße, die Möglichkeit über KonnectzIT oder integrately mit anderen Tools zu verbinden.

Cons

Das Design hat sich wenig weiterentwickelt. Zwar wurden etwas mehr Möglichkeiten geschaffen, das Design etwas an das eigene CI anzupassen, dennoch wirkt das Design bei Heights Platform angestaubt. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass es hier in der Zukunft einige Verbesserungen und Templates gibt, um die Lernplattform moderner zu gestalten.

### "Heights is THE Learning Platform for my Programs!"

December 10, 2020

5.0

My personal experience with Heights Platform is a stellar relationship. The ease of using the program makes it easy to get going. Their online help is extremely helpful and I often find the answers to my questions in the help. However, the service is award winning in my opinion. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team are truly dedicated to serving this space, and it shows!

Pros

Heights Platform is an amazing product developed by an even more amazing team of people. My favorite feature is the flexibility of offering packages with their Bundle Options. They have created the ability to package your courses and programs in many ways, allowing you to maximize the effort you have put into building your courses to fill many needs. This was a GAME CHANGER for me! The ease of use has to creating programs in no time. It is so easy to see how the course will unfold for your students.

Cons

Heights Platform is continually adding more features and benefits to their offering. And when they do a release, they bring VALUE! Such was the case with the Bundle Options recently! I purchased knowing they were planning this, and I am so glad they did. I honestly cannot say that I don't care for any particular feature. Everything is designed with great thought to promote an environment for learning. And their focus on continual improvement to bring value to their customers goes beyond what I have ever seen from a software provider.

### "A Must Have Learning Management System "

May 5, 2020

5.0

I use Heights Platform to create a design learning course. It’s quite easy to use. The text editor is as simple as word or Wordpress. I haven’t had any problems with it so far, my only issue is that creating courses can be time consuming, not to mention that once it’s done, you’ll have to look for student and sell your product in the hope they’d join your platform. Nevertheless, if you like what you do, then you’ll definitely enjoy teaching it throught Heights Platform.

Pros

There are many things I like about Heights Platform. It’s very ergonomic, the menu are well designed and well explained. We know exactly how we can create our online course. You can manage about everything from your dashboard. What is vey good is that they allow you to analyse the efficiency of your courses from how many students took a look at a specific courses, how many student subscribed or how much did your earn this month or previous one. There are a lot of possibilities, you can even add your own logo. I don’t regret my purchase at all.

Cons

Well, there isn’t anything I could complain about Heights Platform, but since it’s still new, there are probably many thing they could improve. Since I’m into graphic design, I wouldn’t be against more customization and integration with sendfox or any other services would be nice.

Thanks for the review! It is great to hear that you were able to understand exactly how to create your course thanks to our layout.

Solid. Better than teachable, and I believe will rival Kajabi once \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] gets further down the road map.

Pros

Customisable themes, course layout and the interface looks clean. Time stamps are coming which will be sick.

Cons

No auto save when typing in the lesson text box, got done a few times switching between lessons. There is a text box warning that comes up (most of the time) but out of habit I’d tick OK to get rid of the box and lose the work. Can only upload one downloadable resource - kajabi can have multiple. Perhaps looking into something like that. I have multiple links in my text box instead.

### "Fantastic option for educators looking to build fun & community into their offerings"

October 13, 2020

5.0

My experience has been wonderful. They care, they are quick to respond, and the Heights team has built a great platform that I'm excited to grow into with them.

Pros

Heights solves two problems for me: for starters, I really dislike Facebook and I don't want to engage in that platform. However, I really love the potential for community that Facebook provides and the value that can add to a course experience. Heights solves this problem. Two: I love the badges and gamification factor. Why use a progress bar when I can create a custom silly award?

Cons

It's not really a criticism - at the time of writing this review, they are a new company and so there are features that are not yet spectacular because they haven't been built out yet. Heights is a fantastic learning portal now, and has the potential to be a fantastic funnel - payment - autoresponder - learning portal all in one in the future. This is easily solved for the time being by using an off-site funnel that I use because I am really really persnickety with my design while I wait patiently for Heights to build up the next version of theirs.

### "Heights makes it so easy to create, edit and move around my lessons and courses"

December 11, 2020

5.0

No problems at all and support is always super quick with a helpful answer.

Pros

It's super easy to use. I update my videos and lessons regularly and reorder them or move them in and out of bundles and it's all super easy.

Cons

I would love the integration of ideal payments with tax in the payment section. But I know that is a big ask. So I have connected Heights to a local payment and checkout provider with Zapier and that works great too.

Reason for choosing Heights Platform

Ease of use and flexibility of the software and the possibility to have users answer questions free format or give them an assignment.

### "Highly Recommend the Heights Platform"

October 14, 2020

5.0

I have nothing but good things to say about Heights, its team, the Facebook group and our experience with developing courses and materials.

Pros

The Heights Platform is very easy to use, quick to learn and flexible for course delivery. The team behind the platform is responsive, open to new ideas and constantly working to make improvements to the platform. Heights is flexibile (course delivery, webinar delivery or lead magnets), customizable (pick your colours or add custom css) and reliable (no outtages to date).

Cons

I am looking forward to the new email features being built!

December 11, 2020

Pros

We are using this from last 1 year and love the easiness. Features are awesome. Team is very supporting and always listen to improve further. I have used teachable and many other tools but nothing near to Height Platform.

Cons

There is Nothing which I don't like. It is a perfect tool for every course creator.

Reason for choosing Heights Platform

Very easy to use and so many features. Overall support is really great.

### "All in one solution for education"

May 20, 2020

5.0

Pros

The best feature of the Heights Platform for me is the integration - everything can be run from a single place, from course preparation, video hosting, payment processing, interaction with the students. It is also quite easy to use. Importantly, the team behind Heights really goes out of their way to answer questions promptly - within a couple of hours everytime! They are also rolling out new features fairly fast, in the 3 months that I have been using it already there has been 2 major new features. A feature I am eagerly waiting for is the ability to run a blog within the platform - they are working on this right now and this would make the platform really all in one.

Cons

The one thing I wished for was to have more customization options as far as the look of the interface from the point of view of the student - color palettes are limited to a dozen different generic combos... However I know that they are working on opening up the customization options so that issue will soon be a thing of the past.

Thanks for the review! Yes, we really aim to be an all-in-one solution for course creators. Your focus as a creator should be on teaching your expertise rather than trying to piece together software solutions. You are correct that we do have a custom color theme builder in the works that will provide much more flexibility beyond our built in themes.

### "Heights Platform"

May 5, 2020

5.0

Not only have I been able to get my course open, the support is second to none! I am definitely challenged with some technical situations, however, the support has been right there making sure I got it done! My experience has been really good.

Pros

It was super easy to get my course online and open! You can sell individual courses, open memberships, sell digital products, communicate directly with students on the platform as well as the ability to start a forum for discussion among all of your students. You can create projects for your students to complete, give homework, badges, points, and all sorts of incentives to your students. There are third party integrations, custom domain name ability and superb customer support.

Cons

The look of the design can be updated, including the ability to add custom colors, etcetera. The administrator is listed among the student list. None of which for me are deal breakers however.

Thank you for the review! We're glad you had a great experience with our support! Regarding custom colors, in addition to our custom CSS feature, we have a custom color theme builder coming soon that will make it easy for creators to build their own custom styles without requiring custom code.

### "Efficient customer service!"

September 1, 2022

4.0

We are building a bilingual language exchange program to start, and up to now, Heights Platform provides a good place for our clients from both countries to gain access to our courses and content.

Pros

It is rather challenging to figure out all the back-end functions within a month of the free trial, so reaching out to customer service is our company's best experience. Multiple representatives reached out to us asking if we needed help and we were able to resolve every problem within 1 or 2 email exchanges. Having a friend who knows Java or CSS or HTML will help immensely with customizing the landing page or the specific link. Having free stock photos to choose from for content building is a plus! And I love how we could add a demo to the course.

Cons

As a designer, I don't really like the limited landing page layout options.
