Kajabi made the all-in-one category what it is, and it is a good product. The difference here is what you pay to get the same job done: courses, storefront, funnels, email and AI in one subscription at a materially lower floor, with 0% of your sales. Take the free trial and compare against your current bill — that is a more honest test than any feature table.
| Expertise Pays | Kajabi | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Courses + store + funnels + email + AI | Courses + funnels + email + community |
| Entry cost | Full free trial, then a lower monthly floor | Higher monthly floor than most peers |
| Revenue share | 0% | 0% |
| Payments | Your own Stripe / PayPal account, multi-currency | Stripe / PayPal |
| Languages | Admin, storefront and emails in English or Chinese | English |
| Community | Member tiers and gated access (lighter forum features) | Mature community product |
| Physical products | Full cart, variants, shipping | Digital-first |
| AI | Built in; bring your own API key so the cost stays yours | Included AI features, plan dependent |
| Templates | Page builder with themes | Large template library |

We are not going to pretend we suit everyone. See which side sounds more like you.
No. The overlap is real — both are all-in-one — but the priorities differ. We put a lot of work into local payments, tax invoicing and physical-goods commerce, which Kajabi does not target. They put work into community, which we treat more lightly. Choose by which of those you actually need.
There is no Kajabi-specific importer — whole-site migration covers WordPress and systeme.io. Your students do transfer easily though: export them to CSV and use the bulk student import, which creates accounts and grants course access in one pass. Courses, lessons and pages are rebuilt in the admin and page builder, which is true of any platform move. Set up 301 redirects from your old URLs so you keep your rankings.
We have member tiers, gated content and per-tier pricing, but not a full forum product. If your business runs on daily community interaction, be honest with yourself about that gap before switching.
Every feature free for 7 days, no long-term contract. Put your current bill next to ours — that is a better test than any comparison table. During migration, the 301 redirect tool keeps the rankings you already earned.
