    About

    In practice. What you can do with Kajabi.

    Kajabi bundles course and community hosting with unlimited marketing emails, landing pages, sales funnels, and built-in payment processing on every plan, so a creator doesn't need separate tools for each step. AI credits for content generation scale with the plan tier.

    There is no free plan: Basic starts at $179 a month ($143 annual) for 5 products, 2,500 contacts, and 2 admin users, and payment processing fees of 2.7% to 2.9% plus $0.30 apply on top. It fits a course creator or coach who wants courses, community, and sales in one subscription rather than stitching several tools together.

    How the score breaks down

    Added value

    Basic replaces separate course, email, and checkout tools for $179/month, but that is a meaningful cost for a solo creator just starting out.

    Fit for purpose

    Delivers the advertised all-in-one course, community, and sales functions directly, without needing third-party checkout or email tools.

    Performance

    Pro supports unlimited products, 100,000 contacts, and 3 communities plus 1,000 AI credits, covering a large creator business.

    Reversibility

    Neutral score: options for exporting courses, contacts, or content if leaving Kajabi are not covered by the collected sources.
