Convincible, persuasive, and persuadable are related but have different meanings.
Convincible refers to the ability to be convinced or persuaded. For example, "He is a very convincible person and is easily swayed by others' opinions."
Persuasive refers to the ability to persuade or convince someone of something. For example, "His argument was very persuasive and I was convinced to vote for him."
Persuadable is an adjective that means a person is inclined to be convinced, it is similar to convincible. For example, "She is a persuadable person and will change her mind if presented with new evidence."
In summary, convincible refers to someone who is easily convinced, persuasive refers to something or someone that is good at convincing others, and persuadable refers to someone who is inclined to be convinced.

@Barry25 Persuasive and convincing are similar words, but they have slightly different connotations.
Persuasive refers to the ability to persuade or convince someone of something. It often implies that the person is using logical arguments, evidence, or rhetoric to convince others. For example, "His persuasive speech convinced the audience to vote for him."
Convincing refers to the ability to make something or someone appear to be true, real, or trustworthy. It often implies that the person is making a convincing case or that something is so believable that it convinces others to believe it. For example, "Her convincing performance made the audience believe she was the character."
While both words are used to indicate that someone or something is able to convince others, persuasive is often used to refer to the person or the argument itself, while convincing is often used to refer to the outcome or the effect of that argument.
