Best Testimonial Widget for Teachable (2026): 7 Options Compared

Prices checked on each vendor's own pricing page between 2026-09-29 and 2026-10-08. We update this page when a vendor changes a plan.

Teachable changed how testimonials work with Page Editor 2.0 and its new checkout. The dedicated Testimonial block is gone, and testimonials were removed from the checkout page; what remains is building quotes by hand with Image with Text blocks, or embedding a testimonial tool with a Custom HTML block that Teachable support switches on for you. This page explains both routes and compares seven options for course creators, including VideoTestimonials, our product.

How testimonials work on Teachable now

From Teachable's help centre:

• No Testimonial block in Page Editor 2.0. Teachable recommends Image with Text for a single testimonial (photo, quote, name and result) and Text with Image Grid for several in a row. Both are static content blocks.
• Custom HTML block. Page Editor 2.0 includes a Custom HTML block that accepts embed code. It is not enabled for new schools; log in and contact Teachable support to request it.
• Unsupported code. Teachable calls custom HTML an unsupported feature it cannot troubleshoot, so preview before you click Update.
• Lessons. In the lesson editor, Add Content → Custom Code takes embed code too.
• Checkout. Testimonials, bullet points and course guarantees were removed from checkout with the Stripe-powered student checkout. The sales page is where testimonials go.

The native option: Image with Text, by hand

For a handful of written quotes, the native route is fine and costs nothing: one Image with Text block per testimonial, or a Text with Image Grid for a row of them, styled with your school's theme.

It stops there. The blocks do not ask students for a testimonial, record video, or update when a new one arrives; every change is a manual edit, and there is no approval step because there is nothing to approve.

If your pages are still on Page Editor 1.0

Older pages built in Page Editor 1.0 can still have the dedicated Testimonial block, which Teachable describes as a block for "testimonials from people endorsing your course", and 1.0 school pages list a Liquid/HTML block for embed code. Teachable's help centre says a 1.0 page generally cannot be converted to 2.0 with one button: rebuilding is the expected path, and some newer blocks exist only in 2.0. If you are rebuilding a sales page anyway, that is a good moment to replace hand-typed testimonials with a widget that updates itself.

What course creators should look for

1. Video students can record from a link in a lesson or email, without creating an account.
2. Approval before a testimonial appears on the sales page.
3. A widget that fits a Custom HTML block and adapts to mobile.
4. Separate collections per course, if you sell more than one.
5. A hosted Wall of Love to link to, which works even before Custom HTML is enabled.

The tools at a glance

The options, reviewed for Teachable

1. VideoTestimonials — student video on the sales page

VideoTestimonials is our product. Put your collection link in the final lesson with a Custom Code block, or in a completion email; students record or write in the browser with your questions on a teleprompter, and you approve, trim and subtitle what comes in. One widget in a Custom HTML block on the sales page shows them, in any of 17 layouts. Until Custom HTML is enabled, link to your hosted Wall of Love from a button. Starter at $24/month has unlimited video and 3 spaces, one per course or brand. Our Teachable guide has the steps.

Choose it if you want student video on the sales page without editing it each time.

Not for: testimonials built natively in Teachable's page editor.

2. Senja — polished widgets for one course

Senja's free plan includes unlimited widgets and Walls of Love for 15 testimonials; Starter at $29/month removes the limit and adds rewards such as Spin the Wheel. Its widgets embed through a Custom HTML block like any other.

Choose it if you sell one main course and want polished widgets.

Not for: several courses as separate brands on Starter.

3. Famewall — cheap, with a Teachable page

Famewall publishes an "Add testimonials to Teachable" page. Standard at $12/month billed yearly includes 4 walls and brand pages — one per course — but caps video at 6 with 2-minute recordings.

Choose it if your testimonials are mostly written and you sell several courses.

Not for: a steady flow of student video on Standard.

4. Testimonial.to — text and social posts

Testimonial.to's free plan imports unlimited posts from X and LinkedIn, which suits instructors whose students post their wins, and every plan includes a public testimonial page you can link to. Starter at $30/month includes 2 videos in total.

Choose it if your students' praise is in social posts.

Not for: video-heavy sales pages below Ultimate.

5. Feedspace — the most free student video

Feedspace's free plan includes 20 text and 20 video reviews and unlimited Wall of Love pages, with 10 reviews on display and 1-minute recordings. Professional at $29/month raises recordings to 3 minutes and removes the display cap.

Choose it if you want to test student video before paying.

Not for: longer stories on the free plan.

6. StoryPrompt — guided, stitched student stories

StoryPrompt includes a teleprompter with AI, camera and screen recording, and video stitching on every plan, and says its AI producers handle editing. Website embeds start on Starter at $39/month, with 1,200 responses a year and 3-minute videos.

Choose it if you want students' answers stitched into finished videos.

Not for: a low monthly budget.

7. Teachable's own blocks — free, by hand

Image with Text and Text with Image Grid cost nothing and match your theme. For a few written quotes on one sales page, they are the simplest option.

Choose it if you have a few testimonials and no plan to collect more.

Not for: video, collection, or anything that should update on its own.

How to add a testimonial widget to Teachable

1. If you do not see a Custom HTML block in the page editor, log in and ask Teachable support to enable it for your school.
2. In your testimonial tool, create a widget for this course and copy the embed code.
3. Open the sales page in Teachable's page editor and add a Custom HTML block where testimonials should appear.
4. Paste the code into the block, Preview the page, then click Update.
5. For lessons: in the lesson editor, Add Content → Custom Code, paste and save.

Getting testimonials from students

Teachable gives you two good moments to ask, both inside the course:

1. The final lesson. Add a short text note with your collection link, or embed it with a Custom Code block, so students are asked at the moment they finish.
2. A follow-up email a week or two later, once they have used what they learned.

Ask three questions — where they started, what changed, and who the course is for — and tell them it takes about a minute. If you sell several courses, give each its own collection form, or its own space, so each sales page shows testimonials from that course's students. Approve the best before they go live, and put one short video near the pricing block, where students decide.

While you wait for Custom HTML

You do not have to wait for support to start using testimonials. Add a Button block to the sales page — "See what students say" — that links to a hosted Wall of Love, and keep a few quotes in Image with Text blocks. When Custom HTML is enabled, replace the button with the embedded widget.

Where testimonials earn their place on a Teachable school

• Sales page, near the pricing block: one short video from a student like your prospect.
• Sales page, lower down: a grid of results, by outcome.
• School homepage: a carousel across all your courses.
• Final lesson: the link that asks for a testimonial, while the result is fresh.

Which to pick

Where VideoTestimonials fits

We are the pick when a Teachable sales page needs students on video, collected from the final lesson and approved before they appear, at $24/month with a hosted Wall of Love you can link to while Custom HTML is being enabled. We are not the pick for a few static quotes (Teachable's blocks) or for edited, stitched videos (StoryPrompt). Read the Teachable guide or compare plans. On Kajabi too?
