Kajabi is one of the pricier course platforms. Here is what it costs per student at different sizes, and whether it is worth it.
We.Inc is free to start, no credit card. AI building from $20/mo.
As of September 2026, Kajabi lists Basic at $179 a month ($143 billed yearly), Growth at $249 ($199) and Pro at $499 ($399). Basic allows 5 products and 2,500 contacts, Growth 50 products and 25,000 contacts, Pro unlimited products and 100,000 contacts.
Kajabi Payments costs 2.9% + 30c on Basic, 2.8% + 30c on Growth and 2.7% + 30c on Pro. If you use a third-party processor, Kajabi lists a 2%, 1% or 0.5% transaction fee.

Best for: Established course creators and coaches who want everything in one polished tool
Price: Basic $143, Growth $199, Pro $399 a month billed yearly; $179, $249, $499 monthly (as of September 2026)
Pros: Courses, memberships, email, funnels and landing pages in one place; Unlimited landing pages and marketing emails; Payments built in
Cons: High fixed monthly cost; Basic caps you at 5 products and 2,500 contacts; Extra fee if you use a third-party processor
Best for: People who want to describe a site or web app in plain English and have AI build it
Price: Free plan: up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, no AI. AI building from $20/mo (Starter, 250 credits). Pro $50/mo, Max $99/mo.
Pros: Describe what you want in chat and AI builds a full, editable site or app; Edit by clicking on the page, by asking in chat, or in a real code editor; Export the React and TypeScript code to GitHub, so you are never locked in; Unlimited sites on paid plans, custom domains from Starter
Cons: The free plan is templates only; AI building needs a paid plan; Newer platform with a smaller app marketplace than the big names; Store features are simpler than a dedicated ecommerce platform
Take a $200 course. At 30 students a month ($6,000 in sales) on Basic billed yearly: plan $143 + Kajabi Payments ($174 + $9) = $326 a month, or $10.87 per student. On Growth: $199 + $168 + $9 = $376, or $12.53 per student.
At 100 students a month ($20,000): Basic is $143 + $580 + $30 = $753, or $7.53 per student; Growth is $199 + $560 + $30 = $789, or $7.89. The lower card rate on Growth never quite covers its higher plan price at this size, so move to Growth for its product and contact limits, not to save on fees.
Plan fees billed yearly, assuming no price change: Basic $5,148, Growth $7,164, Pro $14,364. Monthly: $6,444, $8,964 and $17,964. Payment fees are extra.
Kajabi is worth it when your courses or memberships already sell steadily and you value having email, funnels, courses and payments in one polished place. At 30 students a month the platform is about $11 per student; the fixed cost matters less as you grow.
It is hard to justify before you have proven demand: $1,716 a year is a lot to spend while testing a first course. Systeme.io's free and $17 plans cover a first course and list for far less, and Stan Store suits small digital products sold from a bio.
Keep your course videos and files in your own storage and export your contacts regularly. Pages, funnels and email automations are built in Kajabi and would need rebuilding elsewhere.
We.Inc does not host courses, memberships or student logins, and has no email marketing, so it is not a Kajabi replacement. It can build the public sales site for a course, taking payments through your own Stripe, with the course itself on a dedicated course host.
Where We.Inc fits: the free plan publishes up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, with no AI and no custom domain, and needs no credit card. AI building, where you describe the site and it is written for you, starts at $20 a month (Starter, 250 credits); Pro is $50 and Max is $99.
We.Inc makes a competing website builder, so read this with that in mind. Every price on this page comes from the vendor's own pricing page on the date shown, with a link to it. We say where the other option is the better choice, and we do not publish scores for tests we have not run.
Basic $179, Growth $249 and Pro $499 a month, or $143, $199 and $399 a month billed yearly, as of September 2026.
Kajabi Payments costs 2.9%, 2.8% or 2.7% + 30c by plan. With a third-party processor Kajabi lists a 2%, 1% or 0.5% transaction fee.
Five, with 2,500 contacts and 2 admin users.
For established creators with steady sales, often yes. For a first course, cheaper tools like systeme.io cover the basics for far less.
Billed yearly: $5,148 on Basic, $7,164 on Growth and $14,364 on Pro, before payment fees.
