Kourses vs. Kajabi

Let's take a quick overview of each platform.

Kourses

Kourses is an online course, community, and membership platform built for coaches and creators who want a complete solution without the complexity or cost that usually comes with it.

With plans from $9/month and 0% transaction fees across all plans, it gives you everything you need to build, deliver, and grow your education business from day one.

Kajabi

Kajabi is a well-known all-in-one platform covering courses, coaching, communities, email marketing, and funnels. It is one of the more established names in the space, but also one of the most expensive.

The Basic plan starts at $179/month, limits you to 5 products and 2,500 contacts, and still charges a 2% transaction fee if you use a third-party payment provider.

Kourses is fast, lightweight and your content looks beautiful.

Save over $1,500/year with Kourses vs the Kajabi Basic plan, plus keep 2% more on every sale.

*This savings calculation is based on Kajabi's published Basic plan price of $179/month versus Kourses Pro at $49/month, a difference of $130/month or $1,560/year. Additional savings may apply if using a third-party payment provider on Kajabi, which incurs a 2% transaction fee on the Basic plan.

"Kourses completely simplified everything by bringing courses, payments, memberships, and community into one integrated platform."

Why switch to Kourses?

We know as a coach or creator you have many choices. So why should you consider switching to Kourses for your business?

A more affordable platform

Kajabi Basic costs $179/month, more than three times the price of Kourses Pro before you factor in transaction fees. Kourses Pro is $49/month with 0% transaction fees on all plans, giving you a complete platform at a price that makes sense.

Built to earn more from every sale

Kourses includes order bumps, one-click upsells, and abandoned cart recovery as standard across all plans, giving you a full sales toolkit from day one. With Kajabi, abandoned cart recovery is not included, and the 2% transaction fee on Basic means every sale costs you more than it should.

All the features you need

Kajabi is a capable platform built for businesses at scale. If you are a solopreneur who needs courses, community, and a solid sales toolkit, you are paying for a lot you do not need. Kourses gives you everything that matters, at a price that works from day one.
