Kajabi vs LearningSuite (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Kajabi if

• Fits if you want site, email, checkout and courses on one bill and one login
• Works for coaches who sell courses, coaching and a newsletter to the same people

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're just starting, as Basic is $143 a month even billed yearly
• Tight if you plan lots of offers, since Basic stops at 5 products and 2,500 contacts
• Skip it if you want your own branded app without paying $199 a month or moving to Pro
• Watch out: the trial rolls into Growth at $249 a month unless you cancel
• Watch out: other processors add 0.5% to 2% a sale, and extra contacts cost $125 a month per 25,000

Pick LearningSuite if

• Fits if you run training for clients or staff
• Works for premium service providers who want an app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a listed price or a trial, as there is neither
• Not for you if you want an open course marketplace, since it targets training clients
• Watch out: the vendor says it works with selected companies only
• Watch out: you can only see it in a demo call

Kajabi
