Teachable vs WordPress for Creating & Selling Online Courses

The question that I hear most from those interested in selling courses online is whether they should use WordPress or a hosted platform like Teachable.

Since then the technology for hosting online courses has evolved quite a bit and modern course creators now have so many different options to host & sell their content.

Online course solutions can be broadly categorized into:
