Kajabi

Pros

I love the flexibility of Kajabi. Their platform has proven to be an important part of my personal marketing and branding. Even though I own a digital marketing agency, many of my personal brand sites are built within Kajabi, due to the ease of use.

Cons

I wish they would bring back phone support. I also don't like the fact you can't edit the media library.

Pros

I love the ease of using this, when I first was introduced to Kajabi I had a client using it for their website and they had a designed ghost them and we had a launch for a offer then following week I was able to fully build out a sales funnel from sales page through confirmation emails and tagging. I love the ability to do everything from email marketing, podcast, blogs, courses, offers, accepting payments all in once place.

Cons

The cost can be really high for smaller businesses

Pros

Kajabi is robust, and you can tell they've been in the game for a while because there isn't much you can request that they haven't anticipated.

Cons

I didn't like having to spend so much time learning where to go for what...I would love to have a single space (a command center) where I could look at the screen, find what I need, and implement my plan.

Reasons for Switching to Kajabi

Pros

I didn't like anything about it. It is too complicated.

Cons

Too many options. Too many Kajabi tabs are open to interact with people. Very confusing.

Pros

I found it relatively simple to set up and get started with. The support documentation is helpful and thorough. I appreciate the customization options available and the ability to create email campaigns and web pages all in one place.

Cons

The location of where you can edit various aspects of your courses/offers is not intuitive. I would appreciate if they added the ability to use videos hosted on YouTube.

Reasons for Switching to Kajabi

Pros

Kajabi worked great for my small email list plus had the segmentation I needed.

Cons

I didn't have any problems with Kajabi's email platform.

Pros

easy to use and the price of the product monthly

Cons

email analytics are hard to understand to me

Pros

It's a very useful site to create streamlined course content. Very convenient for distributing to large audiences.

Cons

It could be a bit TOO linear... more options to communicate with the community would've been appreciated.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use, simple and clean designs, and also that you can adjust the speed and quality of the videos

Cons

I don’t like that sometimes the video is glitchy and disappears if you change screens, thankfully the audio still works

Pros

Building a community instead of using a private Facebook group

Cons

Kajabi is great if you already have a thriving community, and a website builder, but if you are fairly new to building a community with no website designer this isn't the app to start with. FitBudd has been a better option for me instead of Kajabi.

Pros

It's easy to learn, setup and manage. It has all the features I could think of for my online video training courses and I love the unlimited amount of Landing Pages.

Cons

It doesnt have an option currency to be based on the country of payment; it has only PayPal and Stripe but they are changing this at the moment (June 2021) and there are no smart Quiz forms, where the outcome results depends on the answers selected on each question

Reasons for Switching to Kajabi

Pros

I like that it allows you to customize landing and sales page. That it has pipelines already set up so it makes using Kajabi quick and easy. It has so much functions and features such as coaching, podcast and they are always creating and improving which is great.

Cons

It takes a lot to learn how to use Kajabi and I am probably still learning. You are not able to undo a mistake which is super annoying because if I delete something by accident I have to redo it.

Pros

I enjoy how easy it is to create, upload and organize content for a given product. I also like the progress monitoring capabilities.

Cons

I am incredibly frustrated by the assessment aspect of this platform. It is extremely limited. It is hard to see results from assessments and difficult to set them up. You have to create your assessment before you can add it to a course instead of creating it while you are working on a course. It is a completely different menu. It is also incredibly hard to get assessment results.

Pros

That I could integrate almost all my business needs under one roof. Before Kajabi I was using other software for performing different tasks in my business. I am not a coder and integrating everything -and making it work!- was kind of a nightmare. Very time consuming. And I use to spend a lot of money.
When I found Kajabi it was a life-saver. Email marketing, tagging, email automation, site creation, squeeze pages creation, e-learning platform, forms, surveys, it is an all-in-one solution.
It saved me lots of time and money.

Cons

Some features need more depth, like metrics. They've done a lot of work regarding this, but there is still room for improvement.
Also, they just integrate with Paypal and Stripe for payments. Being based in Latin America, I need also to be able to add the local payment gateway (Mercado Pago). I don't see this happening in the near future from their side, and I am sure that I am losing money because of this.

Reasons for Switching to Kajabi

Pros

Great software if you are running classes for small groups

Cons

VERY time consuming if you run a class for a large group as you have to spend a significant amount of time inputting assessment/quiz data into your own spreadsheet as there is no current way to pull a file of all responses (e.g. surveys)

Pros

The way I could organize the contents were effective.

Cons

At the beginning, it was hard to navigate through all the features.

Pros

It's designed for online coaching so provides the tools needed.

Cons

Not the most intuitive tool to use. Products haven't been saved despite my hitting save, requiring me to redo work in several instances.

Pros

I help market an online course for a creator. The platformm has a learning curve but we'll worth it for the features.

Cons

The Learing curve is steep but it is worth mastering.

Pros

Loved the ease of use and the easy build landing pages. Customization is out of this world for all forms, pages and more.

Cons

Would love to see a class scheduling option. Then we'd have an all in one solution

Pros

A variety of features are available, including the ability to handle course material and payments in one location, customised templates, and integrated marketing tools.

Cons

It is important to note that some users have complained that the prices can be a bit expensive, particularly for new or small companies.

Pros

Kajabi looks professional, is easy to use, and has all the marketing and business tools you need in one place.

Cons

I don't need most of the marketing features right now, so I'm paying a lot more for my website than I would like. Since I can't sell physical products, I have to use Shopify - this is frustrating and time-consuming. I absolutely love the friendly customer service agents, but they can't solve technical issues quickly. It can take several days, which isn't acceptable when your customers expect your site to function seamlessly. I'm probably going to have to move to another company because I need to be able to solve problems immediately, but it looks like I won't be able to transfer my content since I built it on their site with their templates.

Pros

Honestly, Kajabi is a powerful tool for courses, emails, website management, memberships, and just anything and everything along these lines. I started using Kajabi as a course platform for offering education to my audience and nurturing them...and later, we started using it as a company. Customer support is great as well and we didn't have any issues performance-wise.

Cons

The differentiator was pricing. When there are other tools (say Systeme or Landingi) offering similar (and more) solutions for a very low and affordable price, Kajabi needs to rethink its pricing model. I'd not recommend Kajabi to people who are just starting out with an online business plan.

Pros

Years ago when we started out, my husband was trying to build our website from scratch using Wordpress plugins. He was pulling all nighters and pulling his hair out...but still was falling behind deadlines and the site looked like crap. Enter stage left, Kajabi, and all our problems were solved. INSTANT profressionalism given to us from their fresh and clean layout and look.

Cons

The ONE con I've got is that they don't have any way for the community to really engage inside Kajabi. So our course students and Academy subscription members aren't engaging inside it...and we have to use Facebook instead, which I think we all have a love/hate with these days.

Reasons for Switching to Kajabi

Pros

I love everything on Kajabi and what they have for coaches making it am easy all-in-one platform for coaching and courses. As a coach it's the ideal software to keep it all in one software house.

Cons

There were still a few limitations that I could do with out and still love Kajabi as a whole. What made decided on a different software was the price. Kajabi is not for beginners coaches. I feel Kajabi is better suited for coaches and course creators with residual income even with the most basic plan.
