How we grade them
| 2.2GPAGraphyFair | 2.0GPAKajabiFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CLaunch is $449 a year, about $37 a month, and US plans take 0% of sales, so $2,000 of sales costs $37 a month: the middle of this category. The payment gateway's own fee still applies. | DBasic is $143 a month billed yearly, and Kajabi takes no share of sales through Kajabi Payments, whose 2.9% + 30 cents is card processing. So $2,000 of sales a month costs $143, right where this category's dearest tenth starts. Use another processor and Basic adds 2%, another $40. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. | DNo free plan. The 14-day trial covers the whole platform, but it rolls into Growth at $249 a month unless you cancel, so it's the kind that bills you at the end. |
| Features | CCourses with quizzes, assignments and certificates, memberships, coaching, downloads, live classes and webinars for up to 500, email campaigns, affiliates and an AI website builder. The gap: no community or discussion space in the listing. | BCourses with drip, assessments and cohorts, coaching, a community, unlimited emails, funnels and landing pages, upsells, affiliates, tax and paid newsletters. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the job; Basic just stops at 5 products and 2,500 contacts. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. The AI website builder sets up your site from a description, which helps, but there's still a course and a store to build. | C4.34 from about 7,400 App Store ratings, mid-table for this category. And you're setting up a site, emails, funnels and a checkout before anything sells. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, plus branded iPhone and Android apps from Rise up, with Stripe, Zoom, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Pabbly and Vimeo. API on Scale. No desktop app, which an A needs. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, PayPal, Zapier, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and a public API. No desktop app, which an A needs. An app in your own name is on Pro, or $199 a month extra. |
| Best for | a course site and branded app built for you | running a whole course business from one account |
