Kajabi

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.

The entry plan is $143 a month billed annually against $179 month to month, with 5 products, 2,500 contacts, one website and one community. Growth is $199 or $249 with 50 products and 25,000 contacts, and Pro is $399 or $499 with unlimited products, three websites and three communities. Annual billing saves between $432 and $1,200 a year. Payment processing runs from 2.9 percent plus 30 cents down to 2.7 percent by tier, which is the processor's charge rather than Kajabi's.

Coaches and course sellers with a working offer and revenue to match, who value one bill and one support line over saving money. Anybody still testing whether the offer sells is paying a lot to find out.
