Running the business
CoachAccountable starts at $20 a month for two active clients, a coaching tool built around worksheets, metrics and homework tracked between sessions. Kajabi starts at $143 a month billed annually, or $179 month to month, for a much wider platform: landing pages, email, checkout, community and course delivery all built by one company. The price gap is large because the products are not really the same size: CoachAccountable tracks a coaching relationship, Kajabi runs the entire business around one.

Coaching software priced per active client
CoachAccountable charges by active client rather than by seat or by feature, which means a coach with two clients pays for two. Between sessions it carries the worksheets, the metrics a client is tracking and the homework that decides whether coaching works at all. The interface is dense and shows its age. Coaches who want the record of what happened between calls tend to forgive it.
Our note
This is the cheaper option up to about five clients, where it costs $40 against Paperbell's flat $57. By ten clients the tier is $70 and Paperbell has overtaken it, and that crossover is the whole decision between them. The interface looks its age and the tracking underneath it is better than anything else at this price.
Courses, funnels and email under one roof
Kajabi is the expensive end of course platforms and sells the reason for it plainly: landing pages, email, checkout, community and the course itself all built by one company, so nothing has to be wired together. Coaches with a working offer tend to stay. Anybody still testing whether the offer works is paying several hundred a month to find out.
Buy CoachAccountable if the coaching itself, the worksheets, the metrics, the accountability between calls, is the product, and you want software priced for a small caseload rather than a whole marketing stack. Two clients cost $20 a month.
Buy Kajabi once there is a proven offer and the revenue to justify $143 a month billed annually, since it replaces a page builder, an email tool and a checkout in addition to hosting a course. A coach who mostly needs to sell and schedule with little structured work between sessions is paying for a fraction of either product, and should weigh what actually gets used before committing to Kajabi's price specifically.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
This is the expensive end of the category by a distance, and the money buys one bill and one support line rather than a better course player. Worth it once the offer is proven. An expensive way to find out whether it sells.
