Kajabi review
Everything in one bill, including the parts you may not need.

My verdict
Kajabi replaces five subscriptions with one. If you genuinely use the email, funnel, site and course tooling together, the maths works. If you use two of them, you are paying for three you don't touch.
Score breakdown
Scores are weighted using my published method. The overall figure is set by the reviewer and does not have to match the arithmetic mean. A serious flaw in one area can outweigh good marks elsewhere.
Pros and cons
What works
- Courses, email, funnels, site and payments genuinely integrated
- No transaction fees on any tier
- Analytics tie revenue back to the funnel step
What doesn't
- $179 entry is the highest in this comparison
- Steep learning curve, so expect a week before you are productive
- You are locked in once email lives here too
Who it's for
Choose Kajabi if…
Operators running courses, email and funnels as a single business.
Look elsewhere if…
Anyone who already has email and a website they like.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kajabi worth the money?
Kajabi replaces five subscriptions with one. Whether it is worth it depends on the fit described above, so read the 'who it's for' section before committing to an annual plan.

How did you score this product?
Six weighted criteria, published in full on my how-we-test page. The overall figure is set by the reviewer, not calculated automatically.
