In this article, we would like to introduce you to some of (in our opinion) the best alternatives to Kajabi. But first, if you do not know what Kajabi actually is and why we would look for its alternatives, let us explain.
Want to create, sell and promote your own online #courses without using #Kajabi? This article will present you with some great alternatives!
Kajabi is a content marketing platform used by many small businesses to sell online courses and coaching programs. With it, you can create great-looking personalized websites, landing pages, and also emails.
Now, why would you need a Kajabi alternative? Well, I think the biggest reason for that would be its price. The cheapest plan starts at $149/month. Some people do not want to spend that much money, especially if they are just starting out. The cheapest plan also comes with a lot of restrictions, and let’s be honest, for its price, you can get a lot more on some other platforms. Plus, there is no free plan.
With that said, we would now like to show you a few of the best Kajabi alternatives.

Online you can find many reviews of Gurucan that will tell you how awesome this tool really is for its price.
Podia
This is another great tool that allows you to create online courses, digital downloads, memberships, webinars, email marketing, and more. It is very easy to use, even for beginners, and has a well-designed user interface. It also offers a good user experience for the students using it.
When it comes to pricing, they offer two plans. The first plan is called Mover, which costs $39/month. It includes things like your own website, webinars, zero transaction fees, unlimited everything, digital downloads, 7-days-a-week support, daily live Q&A sessions, email marketing, and more.
The second plan is called Shaker and costs $79/month. It includes all of the features from the Mover plan as well as third-party code, affiliate marketing, offsite buy buttons, a blog, Zoom integration, memberships, and more.
This is a tool with a lot of satisfied customers and a 14-day free trial.
Teachable
Teachable is a great tool, especially for beginners. It offers three plans. The first one is called Basic, costs $29/month and includes features like unlimited students, unlimited course products, unlimited coaching products, unlimited video, unlimited hosting, drip course content, lecture comments, basic quizzes, integrated email marketing, coupon codes, third-party integrations (Facebook, Google Analytics, Sumo, Segment, Mailchimp, Convert Kit, and Zapier Triggers), custom domain support, and more.

LearnWorlds
This is an all-in-one platform that allows you to create, sell and market your online courses just like the ones mentioned above.
It offers four plans, the cheapest called Starter, which costs $29/month. The second plan is called Pro trainer, which costs $79/month. And the most popular plan is called Learning center, which costs $249/month and includes features like no transaction fees, bulk student import, interactive video, Zoom integration, and much more.
Thinkific
This tool offers a good free plan which includes features like limited courses, unlimited students, quizzes and surveys, and content hosting.
Its second plan is called Basic, costs $49/month, and comes with features like unlimited courses and students, coupons, emailing students, drip (scheduled) content, affiliate reporting, a custom domain, and more. The most popular plan is called Pro and costs $99/month. The last plan is called Premier and costs $499/month.
Lists of all the features included in each plan can be found on Thinkific’s website.
LearnDash
This is one of the most popular WP plugins and is really good for making custom online courses. For some people, it is a bit too complicated to understand in the beginning, but they do get used to it after some time.
Great support is always there for you if you need help resolving any problems. But, LearnDash does not offer email marketing, marketing automation, or digital product selling.
Teachery
The cool thing about Teachery is that it does not have any transaction fees. But the biggest downside of it is that it also does not have any marketing features.
Still, it would not be on our list if it was not good. That being said, it does have some really good features you can learn more about on its website.
Skillshare
This platform is a bit different from the other ones we mentioned since it allows its users to share their knowledge through 20 to 60-minute courses.
It is perfect for those that have a bit of a creative side and will thus enjoy it to the fullest.
One of its pros is that it already has an established audience. But, it does lack in design and branding.
It offers a free 14-day trial. And information about all of its plans is available on its website.
Udemy
Udemy is a platform that is great for beginners. It offers a lot of helping tools, which will explain to you how to do everything needed to create your first course.
Marketing is included in this platform, which is really helpful. But, when using this platform, the customers you have are not directly your customers, and there are high revenue shares.
Conclusion
If you are a beginner when it comes to all of this, it is only logical to choose a really easy-to-use platform that does not require investing a lot of money.
Still, you know best what you are capable of and with how much money you are working with. So choose wisely and consider the great options we showed you.
