What it is

Kajabi

A hosted platform for selling what you know beyond your own hours: a course, a membership, a group programme. Checkout, email and a simple website come with it, so there is nothing to stitch together.

Teachable

Upload lessons, set a price, share a link. Teachable handles checkout, the student area and progress tracking, and can bundle coaching calls alongside the course.

Best for

Kajabi

Established coaches with an audience who want to turn a proven programme into something clients can buy without booking time with them.

Teachable

Coaches testing their first digital product who want something cheaper and narrower than an all-in-one suite.

Watch out for

Kajabi

It is one of the pricier options in the category, and it only pays off once you have people ready to buy. Validate the programme with live clients first.

Teachable

Check the transaction fees on the plan you pick — they matter more than the monthly price at low volume. Email marketing and community are lighter than on the all-in-ones.

Editorial comparison — nothing here is paid placement. Pricing changes often; treat the vendor’s own page as the truth. How we review
