Moving from Thinkific to Facet
Contacts and student access come over by CSV exports from your Thinkific account; the course is rebuilt from a simple list of modules, lessons and video links.
The safe order
- Pick one course to move first and leave the rest on Thinkific.
- In Facet, open Settings → Import. Rebuild that course from a manifest, then import its students' access, then your contacts. Every import runs as a dry run first and can be rolled back.
- Check the course the way a student will see it before you tell anyone.
- Let the subscriptions you already have on Thinkific run out instead of cancelling them early. Move the next course when you're ready, and cancel Thinkific last.
Export your data from Thinkific
We couldn't read Thinkific's export instructions to check them, so we aren't listing steps here. Follow Thinkific's own help articles linked below to export your users and your course files.
Check Thinkific's own article on exporting a course for what it covers, and download your videos and files before you cancel.

What moves to Facet and what doesn't
This list comes from what Facet's importers do today. Nothing is read out of a Thinkific course file.
Contacts Moves
Name and email from your CSV. Duplicates merge, and anyone already on your Facet list keeps their current status.
Unsubscribes Partly
If your export has no unsubscribe column, you confirm consent when you import. Remove anyone you know has opted out first.
Tags Partly
Imported if your export includes a tags column.
Student access Partly
Export your students from Thinkific (its help articles are linked above), then import them one course at a time and choose the matching Facet course.
Course outline Partly
Modules and lessons come from a simple manifest (a CSV you write), up to 200 modules and lessons per import. The course lands as a draft.
Videos Partly
On Studio and Creator, Facet fetches each video from the link in your manifest. It has to be a link Facet can reach, so download your videos from Thinkific first and host them somewhere reachable.
Paid subscriptions Partly
Not a file import. If your students pay through your own Stripe account, connect that account in Facet and adopt the active subscriptions. Past sales history stays behind.
Quizzes, drip schedules, downloads Doesn't move
Not in the manifest. Rebuild them in Facet's course builder.
Passwords, progress and more Doesn't move
Passwords, student progress, comments, certificates, saved cards, page designs, automations and email sequences stay behind.
Imports preserve consent: contacts who unsubscribed on your old platform arrive unsubscribed here and are never re-mailable by accident.
What would Creator or Studio cost you?
Type what you pay your current platform and what you sell in a month. Nothing is sent anywhere and there's no email to hand over.
On these numbers you pay 149.00 US dollars a month today. The same month on Facet would cost 39.00 US dollars on Creator, with no platform fee on 1,000.00 US dollars of sales, or 45.00 US dollars on Studio.
One month, side by side
- What you pay today
- 149.00 US dollars
- Creator 39.00 US dollars plan + 0.00 US dollars platform fee
- 39.00 US dollars
- Studio 15.00 US dollars plan + 30.00 US dollars platform fee
- 45.00 US dollars
- Creator takes no platform fee. Studio takes 3% of your sales, never more than 99.00 US dollars a month.
- Card processing fees are separate. Stripe charges them on any platform, so they are left out of both sides.
- Facet prices checked on October 30, 2026. Monthly billing; annual billing costs less.
